1. An NIDDK supported study found people who experienced acute kidney injury (AKI) during a hospitalization were more likely to revisit the hospital or die shortly after discharge, compared to those without AKI. The findings highlight the need for further research to develop and test interventions designed to reduce the risks associated with AKI. https://bit.ly/40NBwMR
2. Children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C), a rare condition linked to COVID-19, have biomarkers indicating damage to multiple organs, the lining of blood vessels and the nervous system. The biomarkers are distinct from other children with COVID-19. These findings could lead to the development of tests allowing clinicians to differentiate between MIS-C and other conditions involving widespread inflammation. https://bit.ly/3NnEDrI
3. Researchers identified distinct features of the immune system of extremely long-lived people, finding centenarians develop faster, more effective immune responses to infections. The results suggest specific immune adaptations that may contribute to centenarians’ extreme longevity. https://bit.ly/3Li0xKi
