Advance glycation end products (AGEs) are the main reason for diabetic complications. Persistent hyperglycemia and non-enzymatic glycation increase the rate of AGEs formation. Natural functional food-based approaches are mainly under investigation these days to discover new treatment options.

Previous literature recommended a hypothetical role for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in the development of BPD. This study explores the possible link between PDA and BPD, aiming to illuminate demographic and clinical factors influencing BPD development within the context of PDA.

- The study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of implantable collamer lenses (ICLs) for patients with keratoconus through a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing research.
- A total of 16 observational studies involving 397 eyes were analyzed, showing significant improvements in uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and various refractive measures, but no substantial changes in corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA).
- Overall, the findings suggest that ICLs are safe and beneficial for vision correction in keratoconus patients, though limitations such as study design and follow-up duration were noted.
Cell survival and death are intricately governed by apoptosis, a meticulously controlled programmed cell death. Apoptosis is vital in facilitating embryonic development and maintaining tissue homeostasis and immunological functioning. It is a complex interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic signaling pathways that ultimately converges on executing the apoptotic program.

Methods: This retrospective study included demographic and clinical data from female patients with breast cancer and large breasts, who were candidates for skin-reducing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. Data regarding operative technique, implant size, operative duration, and intraoperative complications were retrieved.
