Ther Adv Endocrinol Metab
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates changes in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and the risk of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) in kidney transplant recipients within the first year, focusing on demographic and health factors.
- - Results show that 64.04% of the 203 kidney transplant recipients experienced clinically significant HbA1c changes, with pre-transplant diabetes patients showing the most notable increases; PTDM developed in 15.7% of nondiabetics.
- - Key risk factors for significant HbA1c changes included increased age, weight change, and pre-existing hypertension, while PTDM was linked to older age and higher HbA1c levels at various checkpoints post-transplant
Article Synopsis
- AI is becoming crucial in thoracic surgery, improving outcomes through accurate diagnosis of conditions like non-small-cell lung cancer and lymph node metastasis.
- Applications of AI, including machine learning and natural language processing, enhance robotic-assisted surgeries and perioperative management, boosting surgical precision and patient safety.
- Despite its benefits, challenges like data privacy, biases, and ethical issues need to be addressed, with this manuscript reviewing the current state and future directions of AI in the field.
Background and aims Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune disease that is characterized by inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, primarily triggered by gluten. So far, the effective management of CD only includes a gluten-free diet. For early diagnosis and management, adequate knowledge and a positive attitude towards CD are crucial.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLung cancer remains a major global health challenge, characterized by aggressive malignancy and poor prognostic outcomes. This review article focuses on the pivotal role of claudins, a family of tight junction proteins, in the pathophysiology of lung cancer. Claudins are integral to maintaining epithelial barrier function and cellular polarity, yet they are intricately involved in the progression and metastasis of lung cancer.
