Starting in early infancy, our perception and predictions are rooted in strong expectations about the behavior of everyday objects. These intuitive physics expectations have been demonstrated in numerous behavioral experiments, showing that even pre-verbal infants are surprised when something impossible happens (e.g.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors, in combination with endocrine therapy (ET), have shown substantial benefits in improving progression-free survival and, for ribociclib, an overall survival advantage. Despite clinical benefits, ribociclib is associated with elevated liver enzymes and severe liver dysfunction.

- Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetic condition leading to bone marrow failure, and while hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can provide long-term survival, patients face ongoing health challenges after treatment.
- A study of 36 FA patients who had undergone HSCT showed significant long-term issues, including hormonal imbalances, growth impairments, and signs of metabolic syndrome, highlighting the need for better follow-up care guidelines.
- Key findings included gonadal dysfunction in 35% of patients, pulmonary function issues in nearly half, and a small percentage developing secondary cancers, emphasizing the importance of addressing late effects of HSCT in FA survivors.
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is intricately linked with dietary patterns and metabolic homeostasis. Therefore, the present study focused to investigate the relation between dietary patterns and cardiometabolic risk factors related to fatty liver in NAFLD patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 117 individuals whose body mass index (BMI) threshold of 25 or above diagnosed with NAFLD by magnetic resonance imaging.
