Article Synopsis
  • White adipose tissue (WAT) in mice can undergo a transformation known as "browning" when exposed to cold, resulting in the emergence of brown and beige adipocytes, which have distinct characteristics like dense mitochondria and multilocular lipid droplets.
  • Research aimed to analyze the changes in diffusion parameters (T2* values and anisotropy) in brown adipose tissue (BAT), inguinal WAT (iWAT), and epididymal WAT (epiWAT) after cold exposure compared to normal conditions.
  • The study revealed that T2* values in the control group’s epiWAT were significantly higher than in BAT and iWAT from the cold-exposed group, while specific eigenvalues showed

Studies have shown that tele-critical care (TCC) improves outcomes in intensive care unit (ICU) settings with low baseline performance. Evidence also suggests that TCC outcomes may be modified by heterogenous baseline severity of illness. We examined the association of admission Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV (APACHE IV) score quartiles (APQ1-APQ4) and TCC exposure with 30-day mortality.

Background: Despite the high recurrence rate of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), there are limitations in accurately predicting recurrence after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) based on clinicopathological factors alone. However, prediction of recurrence using biomolecular characteristics of bladder tumors has not been applied to clinical practice. The objective of this study was to establish a new gene expression scoring system for identifying patients at high risk of recurrence.
