Nephrotic Syndrome May Be One of the Important Etiologies of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis.
TLDR
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis secondary to nephrotic syndrome may be one of the important etiologies of CVST, and when patients with NS had progressing headache, seizure, or other unexplained neurological symptoms, CVST should be considered.Abstract:
Objective Thrombosis is a common complication of nephrotic syndrome (NS). However, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) secondary to NS is rarely reported. Here we report a case series study of 5 cases of CVST with NS, so as to make a better understanding and management of this disorder. Methods A retrospective study was performed in 5 consecutive patients with CVST in combination with NS between 2009 and 2015. The clinical manifestations, laboratory and radiological findings, treatment, and clinical outcomes were analyzed. Results This cohort of case series consists of 1 woman and 4 men, aged 16-49 years. All patients complained initially of an acute or subacute headache. CVST attacked during NS occurrence in 3 patients, and during NS recurrence in 2 patients. The median duration of signs and symptoms prior to clinical diagnosis and treatment was 12.80 ± 7.53 days. In all patients, it was magnetic resonance venography that detected the thrombosis in the cerebral venous sinus, with the most common site of CVST to be the superior sagittal sinus (5 of 5 patients). Two or more segments of sinus were involved simultaneously in 4 patients. The treatment of CVST in NS involved therapy of CVST in the general population. All the 5 patients had full recovery, and no one relapsed with a follow-up of 26.60 ± 29.75 months. Conclusions NS may be one of the important etiologies of CVST. When patients with NS had progressing headache, seizure, or other unexplained neurological symptoms, CVST should be considered.read more

The Interaction Between lncRNA SNHG1 and miR-140 in Regulating Growth and Tumorigenesis via the TLR4/NF-κB Pathway in Cholangiocarcinoma.
TL;DR: SNHG1, as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) for miR-140, enhanced TLR4 expression and activated NF-κB signaling, thereby regulating growth and tumorigenesis in CCA and denoted the probable utilization of SNHG 1 as a therapeutic target for CCA.

TL;DR: CVST patients do not typically present with specific clinical manifestations, which leads to a high rate of misdiagnosis and delayed therapy, and anticoagulation is a safe and effective treatment for CVST.

TL;DR: Cerebral venous thrombosis may present with subtle and unspecific clinical manifestations in children and high level of suspicion should be kept in trauma and sinusitis.
