Article Synopsis
- Oxygen is essential for energy production in cells, and when oxygen levels drop due to various factors, survival mechanisms are triggered.
- Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) help the body adapt by reducing oxygen needs and stimulating processes like glucose uptake, red blood cell production, and blood vessel growth, but this can lead to chronic inflammation and diseases over time.
- Recent findings suggest that fructose production in hypoxic tissues may support these adaptive functions, raising concerns about the long-term effects of treatments like HIF stabilizers and SGLT2 inhibitors on cardiovascular health.

Likewise, greater prenatal anxiety was associated with a shorter breastfeeding duration.

We aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of frameless hypofractionated Gamma Knife radiosurgery (hfGKRS) in the management of unresected, large METs. All patients who were managed with hfGKRS for unresected, large METs (> 4 cm) between June 2017 and June 2020 at a single center were reviewed in this retrospective study.
