Unlabelled: We analyzed the incidence of fractures and changes in bone mineral density and bone turnover markers in 264 patients who discontinued bisphosphonates. Fractures were recorded in 12.3%.

- Brain plasticity varies after multistep surgery for low-grade gliomas, and personalized neurosurgical approaches using functional imaging can enhance recovery outcomes.
- A study involving four patients with left frontal low-grade gliomas near the supplementary motor area complex (SMAC) showed that surgical interventions did not result in permanent neurological deficits, and some patients exhibited new activity in the right hemisphere after left-side resection.
- The findings suggest SMAC operates as a flexible cortico-subcortical network that can reorganize to compensate for neurological deficits, emphasizing the role of the left middle frontal gyrus in this process.
Peer recovery coaches (PRCs) are increasingly playing a role in helping patients with substance use disorders engage with treatment. PRCs can support and motivate patients in meeting their self-defined recovery goals, engaging in addiction treatment, navigating the health care system, and overcoming barriers to recovery. This support increases patient engagement and is cost-effective.

Previous research from our group showed that CSCs can be easily detected by autofluorescence (AF). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential role of AF CSCs as a prognostic biomarker for colorectal cancer relapse.

- The study investigates the prevalence of a microorganism related to gastric adenocarcinoma (AC) in patients with esophageal carcinoma, noting that its role seems protective rather than harmful in this context.
- It involved a retrospective review of 89 esophageal carcinoma patients, revealing that only 4.5% had a prior infection and most were at advanced cancer stages when diagnosed.
- The findings suggest that the very low prevalence of infection among these patients, coupled with high rates of proton pump inhibitor usage, may indicate a protective effect against esophageal cancer.
