Serum metabolome profiling in patients with mild cognitive impairment reveals sex differences in lipid metabolism.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects more women than men. Although women live longer than men, it is not longevity alone, but other factors, including metabolic changes, that contribute to the higher risk of AD in women. Metabolic pathways have been implicated in AD progression, but studies to date examined targeted pathways, leaving many metabolites unmeasured.

Diagnostic Efficacy of Bone SPECT Techniques in Differentiating Unilateral and Bilateral Condylar Hyperplasia.

This analytical cross-sectional study evaluates diagnostic approaches for active condylar hyperplasia using bone SPECT techniques. : it was compared the effectiveness of relative activity assessments between condyles and quantitative analysis using the condyle/clivus ratio. : This study's findings reveal that the condyle/clivus ratio method significantly outperforms the relative uptake method, achieving a sensitivity of 90.

Oxidative stress and renal status of farmers exposed to pesticides in Seville (Spain).

The aim was to determine whether indirect exposure to pesticides, specifically a copper-based fungicide, induces alterations in oxidative stress and subclinical and early kidney biomarkers in male farmers tasked with olives harvesting. Furthermore, we tested whether sex influences the susceptibility to pesticide-induced renal damage by comparing the results of this study with those obtained previously. The study focused on olive farmers (n = 41) indirectly exposed to copper-based fungicides in Estepa (Sevilla, Spain), comparing them with a control group (n = 32).

The critical importance of recognition, evaluation, and management of mental health on outcomes following hip arthroscopy - A synthetic narrative review: Current concepts.
