Objective: To assess the prevalence of changes on computed tomography (CT) in Graves' orbitopathy (GO) and to correlate those changes with disease activity, as well as with clinical and biochemical variables.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study, conducted at a tertiary hospital, of clinical, biochemical, and imaging data from consecutive patients with GO who underwent at least one orbital CT scan between July 2012 and December 2020. A single observer quantified the thickness of the extraocular muscles and the degree of proptosis.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the timing and patterns of food introduction in Brazilian infants during the first year of life, aiming to improve complementary feeding practices.
- Using surveys and interviews with mothers, researchers identified three distinct food introduction patterns based on the age at introduction and the type of formula used.
- Key findings show that breastfeeding positively influences timely food introduction, while younger and older maternal ages are linked to later introduction of ultra-processed foods.
Aim: To investigate the transgenerational effect of maternal hyperglycemia on oxidative stress markers, lipid profile, glycemia, pancreatic beta (β)-cells, and reproductive outcomes in the F2 adult generation. Additionally, to expand the knowledge on transgenerational diabetes the F3 generation at birth will be evaluated.
Methods: On day 5 of postnatal life female rat newborns (F0 generation) were distributed into two groups: Diabetic (Streptozotocin-STZ, 70 mg/kg body weight, subcutaneous route) and Control rats.
Maternal diabetes may influence glucose metabolism in adult offspring, an area with limited research on underlying mechanisms. Our study explored the impact of maternal hyperglycemia during pregnancy on insulin resistance development. Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats from control and diabetic mothers were mated, and their female offspring were monitored for 150 days.

Background: Psychological stressors have been related to tumor progression through the activation of beta-adrenergic receptors (β-AR) in several types of cancer.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the expressions of β- and β-AR and their association with psychological and clinicopathological variables in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Methods: Tumor samples from 99 patients diagnosed with OSCC were subjected to immunohistochemical reaction to detect the expression of β-AR and β-AR.
