Differential subcellular expression of P525LFUS as a putative biomarker for ALS phenoconversion
2020
P525LFused-in-Sarcoma ( FUS ) mutation is associated with a specific amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) phenotype characterized by a juvenile-onset and a severe course.1 This harmful point mutation is located in the nuclear localization signal (NLS) domain at the protein C-terminal.2 Although wild-type FUS protein is expressed almost exclusively in the nucleus, the P525L FUS mutation leads to a protein mislocalization into the cytoplasm3,4 because of its loss of capacity to bind its transporter karyopherin-2 and to be transferred back to the nucleus.3
SARS-CoV-2 infection and venous thromboembolism after surgery: an international prospective cohort study
2021
SARS-CoV-2 has been associated with an increased rate of venous thromboembolism in critically ill patients. Since surgical patients are already at higher risk of venous thromboembolism than general populations, this study aimed to determine if patients with peri-operative or prior SARS-CoV-2 were at further increased risk of venous thromboembolism. We conducted a planned sub-study and analysis from an international, multicentre, prospective cohort study of elective and emergency patients undergoing surgery during October 2020. Patients from all surgical specialties were included. The primary outcome measure was venous thromboembolism (pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis) within 30 da…
