Article Synopsis
  • Insulin resistance is an important factor in the early stages of type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk, and the study looks at its genetic, metabolic, and immune aspects among at-risk individuals.
  • Researchers divided relatives of T1D patients into high and low insulin resistance groups and assessed their genetic risk, glucose control, metabolic hormones, and immune cell profiles.
  • The high insulin resistance group showed metabolic changes like increased insulin levels and a unique immune cell profile with more insulin-specific CD8 T cells, suggesting a link between insulin resistance and immune responses in T1D susceptibility.

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) display four histological subtypes: gastric foveolar, pancreaticobiliary, intestinal, and oncocytic. All of these subtypes harbor a different risk of cancer development. The clinical impact of these subtypes concerning the occurrence of high-grade dysplasia (HGD)/cancer (C) in specific morphological types, such as branch-duct (BD), main-duct (MD), and mixed-type (MT) IPMNs, has been less investigated.

Low back pain (LBP) is most common pain syndrome in Europe, affecting approximately 50% of European citizens. LBP is a complex condition that negatively affects many aspects of an individual's life such as work productivity, mobility, and mental health. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of pain associated with chronic LBP on patients' quality of life.

Many lateral biases exist in human behavior, often implicit and not deliberated. Romantic kissing and embracing received experimental attention in the last three decades. We investigated laterality in paintings depicting these social interactions using two methodologies to assess whether painters depicted such biases and whether these biases could be due to observers' aesthetic preferences or painters' ability in portraying naturalistic interactions.
