Claudin 18.2 Immunohistochemistry Expression in Gastric Cancer: A Systematic Review.

Claudin 18.2 is a transmembrane protein, part of the tight-junction complex, selectively expressed in gastric epithelium. It is showing promising results as a target in advanced gastric cancer in phase 3 clinical trials using a monoclonal antibody against claudin 18.

DOse and administration Time of Indocyanine Green in near-infrared fluorescence cholangiography during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DOTIG): a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Different techniques have been proposed to reduce the incidence of the intraoperative bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Among these, Near-Infrared Fluorescence Cholangiography (NIFC) with Indocyanine Green (ICG) represents a relatively recent addition. At present, there is considerable variation in the protocols for the administration of ICG.

Proteomic changes upon treatment with semaglutide in individuals with obesity.

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are prevalent chronic diseases effectively managed by semaglutide. Here we studied the effects of semaglutide on the circulating proteome using baseline and end-of-treatment serum samples from two phase 3 trials in participants with overweight or obesity, with or without diabetes: STEP 1 (n = 1,311) and STEP 2 (n = 645). We identified evidence supporting broad effects of semaglutide, implicating processes related to body weight regulation, glycemic control, lipid metabolism and inflammatory pathways.
