Significance: Deranged metabolism and dysregulated growth factor signaling are closely associated with abnormal levels of proliferation, a recognized hallmark in tumorigenesis. Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) of endogenous nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), a key metabolic coenzyme, offers a non-invasive, diagnostic indicator of disease progression, and treatment response. The model-independent phasor analysis approach leverages FLIM to rapidly evaluate cancer metabolism in response to targeted therapy.

- - Surgical repair of hiatal and paraesophageal hernias is commonly used for treating gastroesophageal reflux, but its impact on respiratory function is less understood.
- - A review of six studies indicated improvements in pulmonary function after surgery, particularly for patients with more than 50% intrathoracic stomach involvement, but no significant changes were observed in certain lung measurements.
- - The review highlights that paraesophageal hernia repair can enhance both objective and subjective pulmonary function, though it faced limitations due to the lack of extensive research and standardized measurement methods.
The tongue can be a guide for different normal findings/variants, pathological lesions, or signs for systemic diseases. And oral cancer can be among the differentials, which can be detected early by a thorough oral exam. The early detection of oral cancer is particularly important, as the stage of oral cancer at the time of the diagnosis is the most critical factor determining the five-year survival.
