Non-Pharmacological Approach to Diet and Exercise in Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease: Bridging the Gap between Research and Clinical Practice.

This review provides a practical and comprehensive overview of non-pharmacological interventions for metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD), focusing on dietary and exercise strategies. It highlights the effectiveness of coffee consumption, intermittent fasting, and Mediterranean and ketogenic diets in improving metabolic and liver health. The review emphasizes the importance of combining aerobic and resistance training as a critical approach to reducing liver fat and increasing insulin sensitivity.

Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder in a kidney transplant recipient: a case of Epstein-Barr virus-positive primary central nervous system lymphoma.

Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) are potentially life-threatening complications of chronic immunosuppression in patients who receive solid organ transplants or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Most PTLD cases are associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) serology, and their incidence is typically higher in the first year of transplantation. Isolated EBV-positive diffuse large-cell B-cell lymphoma in the renal transplant setting has rarely been reported.

Structure and evaluation of preventive medicine residency programs' websites: A cross sectional analysis.

The goal of this study was to analyze the content availability and accessibility of preventive medicine residency program websites. In COVID-related travel restrictions, the information provided on program websites has become increasingly crucial for residency applicants. A cross-sectional study was conducted by extracting the list of preventive medicine residency programs on the Fellowship and Residency Electronic and Interactive Database (FRIEDA).

Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Causing Platypnea-Orthodeoxia Syndrome.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with cryptogenic liver cirrhosis is uncommonly linked to platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS). Traditionally, this syndrome has been described in correlation to intracardiac shunting like patent foramen ovale.  We report a case of a 70-year-old female, with a previous history of NAFLD and heart failure presenting with acute hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to fluid overload.

A Fatal Case of Primary Orbital Ewing's Sarcoma with Intracranial Extensions in a Six-year-old Girl.

Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is the second most common skeletal tumor seen in children and adolescents which typically involves the long bones and the axial skeleton. ES involving the orbits is extremely rare and can lead to serious consequences. Patients usually present with fever, localized bone pain which increases during the night time, and a visible mass, often with a preceding history of trauma.

Hyperuricemia Associated with Thiazide Diuretics in Hypertensive Adults.

Introduction Thiazide diuretics are essential first-line anti-hypertensive drugs which not only maintain blood pressure but also reduce stroke and congestive heart failure associated with morbidity and mortality in hypertensive patients. However, thiazide diuretics are associated with elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of thiazide diuretic use on their SUA levels among hypertensive individuals of Pakistan.

Rheumatic Chorea as the First Presenting Sign in a 13-year-old Female Child.

Rheumatic chorea (RC) is a movement disorder seen in young children and adolescents with a recent history of incompletely treated group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal (GABHS) pharyngitis. Although, it rarely presents as the first manifestation of the disease, physicians should be aware of the disease, so that early diagnosis and prompt treatment may lead to elimination of the pathogen and prevent further disease progression. We present a case of a 13-year-old female child who presented with only RC as the first clinical sign.

Incidence of Depression Among Community Dwelling Healthy Elderly and the Predisposing Socio-environmental Factors.

Introduction The average life expectancy is increasing with better medical facilities and evolving technology. The ratio of the geriatric population is increasing, which drives a need to invest more in the physical and psychological health of older people. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of depression in community-dwelling healthy older adults.
