Precis: Glaucoma surgery impacts corneal graft survival differently by procedure type, with GDDs being most effective at reducing intraocular pressure. However, graft survival rates are comparable across trabeculectomy, CPC, and GDDs. Trabeculectomy improves visual acuity best but often requires additional interventions.

Background: Repeated polyserositis, another name for familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), is an autoimmune disorder with an autosomal recessive nature primarily characterized by short-lived repeated periods of peritonitis, pleuritis, and arthritis, generally accompanied by fever.

Methods: Our participants were divided into two groups. Group I (patients): 100 individuals who were diagnosed as patients with FMF and were monitored.

Background And Study Aims: Few studies have considered patients treated with trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for non-viral-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with some reporting that those patients may have larger tumors, emphasizing the need for determination of the factors affecting survival in such patients. This work aims to study the characteristics and survival of patients with non-viral related HCC treated with TACE.

Patients And Methods: This is a multicenter observational study.

Insulin resistance and diabetes are associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) conditions, which are distinguished by metabolic dysfunction, oxidative stress and inflammation. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a NAD-dependent deacetylase, is fundamental in regulating metabolic pathways, reducing inflammation, and improving antioxidant defenses. This is the first study to investigate the effects of SRT1720, a SIRT1 activator, in diabetic rats on a high-fat diet.

Personalized medicine is an emerging field that provides novel approaches to disease's early diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and prognosis based on the patient's criteria in gene expression, environmental factors, lifestyle, and diet. To date, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant global health burden, with an increasing incidence and significant death rates, despite advancements in surveillance, diagnosis, and therapeutic approaches. The majority of HCC lesions develop in patients with liver cirrhosis, carrying the risks of mortality associated with both the tumor burden and the cirrhosis.
