Article Synopsis
- - Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are popular for managing type 2 diabetes, but there's concern about their potential link to cancers, particularly pancreatic and thyroid cancers, which needs further investigation.
- - A study analyzed 2.7 million T2DM patients, comparing those on GLP-1 RAs to those not on the medication, while controlling for various health factors to measure cancer risks.
- - Results showed that T2DM patients using GLP-1 RAs had a significantly lower risk of gastric cancer (0.05% vs. 0.13%) and esophageal cancer (0.04% vs. 0.13%) after seven years
Advancements in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHSCT) procedures have improved patient outcomes over the last two decades, though invasive fungal infections (IFIs) remain a significant risk. The incidence of IFIs in alloHSCT recipients is estimated at 6%, with a mortality rate of 13%, and Aspergillus species are the most common pathogens involved. Posaconazole is effective in preventing IFIs post-transplant and is standard care during neutropenia or when managing graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) with high-dose steroids.

We hypothesized that use of prenatal telehealth visits would increase the number of prenatal visits, decrease the frequency of urgent triage/emergency department (ED) visits, and improve perinatal outcomes. This study aimed to determine the impact of telehealth on number of obstetric prenatal visits and urgent triage/ED visits amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

- Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a significant cause of hospitalizations related to the gastrointestinal system in the U.S., with occurrences varying from 1 in 1000 to 1 in 10,000 births during pregnancy, often linked to obesity and gallstones.
- In this case, a 30-year-old pregnant woman presented at 34 weeks with severe abdominal pain, diagnosed with suspected gallstone pancreatitis, and her lab tests showed elevated lipase and alkaline phosphatase levels.
- After multidisciplinary consultations, the decision was made to delay surgery until after she delivered, which was successfully completed at 36 weeks, followed by an uneventful laparoscopic cholecystectomy two weeks later.
Introduction: Habituation and novelty detection are two fundamental and widely studied neurocognitive processes. Whilst neural responses to repetitive and novel sensory input have been well-documented across a range of neuroimaging modalities, it is not yet fully understood how well these different modalities are able to describe consistent neural response patterns. This is particularly true for infants and young children, as different assessment modalities might show differential sensitivity to underlying neural processes across age.
