Distinct strategies for intravascular triglyceride metabolism in hearts of mammals and lower vertebrate species.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and multiple regulators of LPL activity (e.g., APOC2 and ANGPTL4) are present in all vertebrates, but GPIHBP1-the endothelial cell (EC) protein that captures LPL within the subendothelial spaces and transports it to its site of action in the capillary lumen-is present in mammals but in not chickens or other lower vertebrates.

Perspectives of patient and public partners on their involvement in research.

Introduction: Patient and public involvement (PPI) in research integrates patient and public perspectives to improve research relevance and quality. The experiences of PPI partners have revealed mixed findings in countries where PPI is well established, but accounts from areas less accustomed to PPI in research are limited. This study aimed to explore the knowledge, motivations, expectations and experiences of PPI representatives in such a setting.

This review evaluates the evidence for the use of over-the-scope clips (OTSC), topical haemostatic agents (THA), and prophylactic embolisation (PE) in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB). The use of OTSC and THA may have the potential to increase the rate of endoscopic haemostasis in PUB not responding to conventional endoscopic treatment. In patients at high risk of recurrent bleeding, the performance of PE after achieving endoscopic haemostasis can reduce the risk of rebleeding and the need for surgery.

Assessing the potential of artificial intelligence to enhance colonoscopy adenoma detection in clinical practice: a prospective observational trial.

Background/aims: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the GI Genius (Medtronic) module in clinical practice, focusing on the adenoma detection rate (ADR) during colonoscopy. Computer-aided polyp detection (CADe) systems using artificial intelligence have been shown to improve adenoma detection in controlled trials. However, the effectiveness of these systems in clinical practice has recently been questioned.

The impact of iron deficiency on patients under evaluation for colorectal cancer, a prospective cross-sectional study.

Background And Objective: Iron deficiency affects more than 60% of colorectal cancer patients at the time of diagnosis. Iron deficiency ultimately leads to anemia, but additionally, iron deficiency might impact other domains of colorectal cancer patients' health and well-being. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of iron deficiency on fatigue, quality of life, cognition, and physical ability in patients undergoing evaluation for colorectal cancer.
