Aim: We aim to explore the potential of diverse treatments, including perhexiline, calcium channel blockers, anti-hypertensives, PDE5 inhibitors, anti-anginal drugs, aldose reductase inhibitors, and SGLT-2 inhibitors, supported by clinical evidence. Additionally, this review seeks to identify novel therapeutic targets and future avenues for improving cardiovascular outcomes in diabetic populations.
Method: We performed a comprehensive literature review of English-language studies across multiple electronic databases, such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Google Scholar, focusing on clinical trials.
Nano-sized titanium dioxide particles (TiO NPs) are a high-production volume nanomaterial widely used in the paints, cosmetics, food and photovoltaics industry. However, the potential carcinogenic effects of TiO NPs in the lung are still unclear despite the vast number of and studies investigating TiO NPs. Here, we systematically reviewed the existing and mechanistic evidence of TiO NP lung carcinogenicity using the ten key characteristics of carcinogens for identifying and classifying carcinogens.

Recent Findings: Crude oil is a naturally occuring mixture of hydrocarbon deposits, inorganic and organic chemical compounds. Workers engaged in upstream processes of oil extraction are exposed to a number of risks and hazards, including getting crude oil on their skin or inhaling crude oil vapor.
Chromatin-associated RNAs (caRNAs) form a relatively poorly recognized layer of the epigenome. The caRNAs reported to date are transcribed from the nuclear genome. Here, leveraging a recently developed assay for detection of caRNAs and their genomic association, we report that mitochondrial RNAs (mtRNAs) are attached to the nuclear genome and constitute a subset of caRNA, thus termed mt-caRNA.

Methods: We retrospectively identified students who rotated in the pediatric clerkship at a single institution from 2020 to 2022. We used multiple linear regression models to adjust for multiple confounders and used a one-way analysis of variance to compare adjusted outcomes across quartiles of inpatient team continuity.
