Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia, affecting 59 million individuals worldwide. Impairment of atrial cardiomyocyte (aCM) gene regulatory mechanisms predisposes to atrial fibrillation. The transcription factor TBX5 is essential for normal atrial rhythm, and its inactivation causes loss of aCM enhancer accessibility, looping, and transcriptional identity.

Methods: 425 omnivorous (OMNI), lacto-ovo-vegetarian (LOV), or vegan (VEG) healthy adults were recruited. Anthropometry was measured, and bioelectrical impedance analysis was performed.
Article Synopsis
- Colonoscopies for colorectal cancer screening often find large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs), which can be effectively treated with Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR), though data on outcomes within screening programs are limited.
- A study reviewed 52 EMRs over 5 years, discovering a median polyp size of 25mm, with a small percentage showing adenocarcinoma and low complication rates.
- The results indicate that EMR successfully minimizes the need for surgery (92% avoided), with low recurrence rates and high patient compliance for follow-up surveillance, demonstrating its effectiveness in managing complex polyps.
