Aims: Duodenal Mucosal Resurfacing (DMR) is an endoscopic ablation technique aimed at improving glycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Although the exact underlying mechanism is still unclear, it is postulated that the DMR-induced improvements are the result of changes in the duodenal mucosa. For this reason, we assessed macroscopic and microscopic changes in the duodenal mucosa induced by DMR + GLP-1RA.

- Congenital ocular anomalies (COA) are a leading cause of visual impairment in children in high-income countries, and this study aimed to evaluate their prevalence in European registries.
- Data from 19 EUROmediCAT registries and one healthcare database revealed a prevalence of COA at 3.47 cases per 10,000 births, with congenital lens anomalies being the most common type.
- The findings suggest the need for better screening and early diagnosis of COA, highlighting the importance of large-scale epidemiological studies for understanding these conditions.

- Chronic adolescent cannabis use, specifically THC exposure, alters brain function and affects behavior, with potential long-lasting impacts into adulthood.
- A study on squirrel monkeys showed significant changes in brain connectivity and reward processing after they were treated with THC during adolescence.
- THC-treated monkeys displayed impaired motivation and reward sensitivity compared to those that received a vehicle, indicating persistent neurocognitive abnormalities linked to early cannabis use.
A simple and accurate method for the determination of ibuprofen concentrations in elephant plasma was developed and validated using reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Utilizing a liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate, methanol, and phosphoric acid, samples were separated on an XBridge C column. The mobile phase consisted of 0.
