Comparison of different liver fibrosis scores following sleeve gastrectomy.

Purpose: The prevalence of obesity, along with that of its associated health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and liver diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is increasing annually. Bariatric surgery is indicated for the treatment of obesity if conservative treatment fails. While various liver fibrosis scores have been proposed for assessing liver function, they are typically used prior to bariatric surgery.

Toxicological Impact of Chronic Chlorpyrifos Exposure: DNA Damage and Epigenetic Alterations Induces Neoplastic Transformation of Liver Cells.

Organophosphate pesticides (OPPs) are widely used chemical pesticides in all the developed countries. Among the OPPs, Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is predominantly used and has been linked to various adverse health effects from acute to chronic exposure. Exposure to pesticides both occupationally and environmentally causes frequent human health problems including neurological disorders, liver, kidney dysfunctions and cancer.

Correlation between histopathology properties of dartos tissue and the severity of penile curvature in hypospadias.

Purpose: Hypospadias, one of the congenital anomalies commonly associated with some degrees of ventral penile curvature that may arise from malformation of dartos fascia, the chordee. Our study aims to determine the correlation between the histopathology properties of dartos fascia and the severity of ventral penile curvature in hypospadias.

Materials And Methods: One hundred hypospadias patients with various degrees of ventral penile curvature were included in this cross-sectional analytical study from 2020 to 2022.
