Weight gain secondary to the use of oral Janus kinase inhibitors: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Oral Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) are increasingly used in dermatology, rheumatology, gastroenterology, and hematology. While effective, they can cause adverse effects such as acne, nausea, cytopenia, dyslipidemia, and Herpes zoster. Recent reports have linked JAKi usage to weight changes, particularly weight gain, which can significantly impact patients' quality of life.

Trophic assessment of red seabream (Pagrus major) as a possible bioindicator of human activities in the South Sea of Korea using stable C and N isotopes.

To assess the impact of sand mining on resource utilization by the red seabream (Pagrus major) and the trophic structure of fish assemblages two years after mining activities, we compared stable isotope ratios (δC and δN) and isotopic niches between aggregated mining and control sites in April and August 2022. Our results showed no spatial differences in the δC and δN values of red seabream between the sand mining and control sites, suggesting that the mining did not affect their dietary resources. Furthermore, the considerable overlap among fish consumers suggested that the fish food web in mining areas has trophic functions similar to those in natural habitats after mining activities.

Pseudoruegeria limi sp. nov. isolated from mud flats in the Yellow Sea in Korea.

A Gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterial strain, D-17(T), was isolated from mud flats in the Yellow Sea in Korea. Phylogenetic trees based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain D-17(T) belongs to the genus Pseudoruegeria and it shared 97.5 % similarity with the type strain of Pseudoruegeria haliotis WM67(T).

Aestuariibaculum scopimerae sp. nov., isolated from the globular ghost crab, Scopimera globosa.

A Gram-staining-negative, non-motile, catalase- and oxidasepositive bacterium, designated strain I-15(T), was isolated from a crab of the Yellow Sea, Korea. On the basis of a 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain I-15(T) was shown to belong to Bacteroidetes, related to the genus Aestuariibaculum. Sequence similarity between strain I-15(T) and the only type strain of the genus Aestuariibaculum, Aestuariibaculum suncheonense SC17(T), was 96.
