Article Synopsis
- - The first audit of LGBTQ+ inclusivity in UK fertility care reveals significant shortcomings in clinical knowledge and cultural competence, particularly affecting transgender and gender diverse patients.
- - Despite some efforts to improve inclusivity, systemic barriers like cisheteronormativity and discrimination persist, leaving LGBTQ+ patients under-represented in both research and practice.
- - A checklist for enhancing LGBTQ+ inclusivity was co-developed with community members, focusing on cultural competence, clinical considerations, and online presence, highlighting the urgent need for better support and understanding in fertility care.
Microbiota plays an essential role in fish growth and health and may be influenced by the changing environmental conditions. Here, we explored the microbiota of wild common sole, one of the most important fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea, collected from different areas in the North Adriatic Sea. Our results show that the sole microbiota differs from that of the surrounding environment and among the different body sites (gill, skin and gut).

The novelty of the surgical technique lies in the possibility of enhancing the decision-making process to perform the cut on the tibia as for the KA caliper technique developed by Dr. Stephen Howell.

This study explores ctDNA detection by next generation sequencing (NGS) and associated clinicopathologic factors in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Patients undergoing surgical exploration or resection of pancreatic lesions were enrolled with informed consent.

- - Tibial plateau fractures (TPFs) often come with hidden injuries to ligaments or menisci, which can lead to misdiagnosis; early recognition through MRI can improve surgical treatment outcomes for these injuries.
- - A study involving 57 TPF patients from 2022 examined the effectiveness of MRI in identifying associated soft tissue injuries (STIs), focusing on various ligaments and meniscal injuries.
- - Results showed MRI significantly detected injuries to the lateral meniscus, ACL, PCL, and MCL, leading to additional surgeries; however, other injuries like medial meniscus and lateral collateral ligament injuries were less impactful.
