Article Synopsis
  • Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a common chronic liver condition linked to higher risks for type 2 diabetes and its complications, and the FIB-4 scoring system can help predict liver fibrosis.
  • This study reviewed medical records of 312 type 2 diabetes patients to evaluate the relationship between FIB-4 scores and microvascular complications like nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy.
  • Results showed that while FIB-4 scores did not differ significantly for neuropathy or retinopathy, higher FIB-4 scores were associated with a greater prevalence of nephropathy, suggesting that FIB-4 scores could be a useful tool in predicting this specific complication in diabetic patients.

Objective: The present article analyses pre-operative demographic, biochemical, sonographic and histopathological characteristics of low-risk thyroid neoplasms (LRTNs), with a focus on four subgroups, "well-differentiated carcinoma-not otherwise specified" (WDC-NOS), "non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary like nuclear features" (NIFTP), "well-differentiated tumours of uncertain malignant potential" (WDT-UMP) and "follicular tumour of uncertain malignant potential" (FT-UMP).

Methods: The study retrospectively analyzed the histopathology of 2453 malignant thyroids and the final analyses included 99 cases diagnosed with LRTNs. The demographic and clinical features, pre-operative thyroid function, ultrasonography results, cytopathology results, histopathology results and prognostic classifications were assessed.

Compared to the established monolayer approach of two-dimensional cell cultures, three-dimensional (3D) cultures more closely resemble in vivo models; that is, the cells interact and form clusters mimicking their organization in native tissue. Therefore, the cellular microenvironment of these 3D cultures proves to be more clinically relevant. In this study, we present a novel easy-to-fabricate microfluidic shallow trench induced 3D cell culturing and imaging (STICI3D) platform, suitable for rapid fabrication as well as mass manufacturing.

The first pump developed by Dr. Kadish and his team in 1963 aimed to "continue subcutaneous insulin infusion". The number of patients using insulin pumps has increased since the 1980s.
