Objective: We assess diabetes risk in adulthood among adolescents with isolated glucosuria.
Research Design And Methods: Included were adolescents (16-19 years) examined before military service between 1993 and 2015. Data were linked with the Israeli National Diabetes Registry.
Aim: Tissue clearance is a rapidly evolving technology that allows for the three-dimensional imaging of intact biological tissues. Preexisting tissue-clearing techniques, such as Passive Clarity Technique (PACT) and Clear Unobstructed Brain Imaging Cocktails and Computational Analysis (CUBIC), clear tissues adequately but have distinct disadvantages, such as taking extensive time to clear tissues and degradation of endogenous tissue fluorescence. We developed a new tissue-clearing technique combining PACT and CUBIC protocols to map the neural lineages expressing the transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) receptor.

- Etomidate is a widely used anesthetic for cardiac surgery, known for its good cardiovascular safety but its overall efficacy and safety compared to other anesthetics remain unclear.
- This study performed a systematic review of randomized controlled trials to evaluate etomidate's impact on patient outcomes, focusing on factors like mortality rates and hemodynamic measurements in cardiac surgery patients.
- The results showed that etomidate did not significantly change the 30-day mortality rates or other key clinical outcomes compared to other drugs, indicating it may be equally effective as alternative anesthetic options.
Background: Underdiagnosis of relevant risk factors has contributed to the increasing stroke incidence in young adults. Blood pressure cut-off values for adolescents are neither sex specific nor based on cardiovascular outcomes.
Methods: This nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study included all Israeli adolescents 16-19 years of age who were medically evaluated before compulsory military service from 1985 to 2013, including routine blood pressure measurements.
