Essential metals such as iron, copper, and zinc are required for a wide variety of biological processes. For example, they act as cofactors in many proteins, conferring enzymatic activity or structural stability. Interactions between metals and proteins are often difficult to characterize due to the low concentration of metals in biological tissues and the sometimes labile nature of the chemical bonds involved.

- * Results showed that participants in the HWC group significantly increased their CPAP usage and lost more weight over nine months compared to the control group, highlighting HWC's potential benefits for OSA patients.
Article Synopsis
- - Pathological tissues produce various substances, including extracellular vesicles (EVs) from active or dying cells.
- - EVs found in diseased heart valves may play a significant role in the development of valve thrombosis.
- - In cases of human aortic stenosis, EVs can activate valvular endothelial cells, causing dysfunction and increasing the chances of blood clotting.
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs) of the pancreas are rare tumors that predominantly affect young females and are typically located in the body and tail of the pancreas. Here, we present the case of a 59-year-old male with a large, heavily calcified SPN in the pancreatic head. His surgical history includes an aborted pancreaticoduodenectomy due to vascular involvement, followed by a gastrojejunostomy.
