Background: Pancreas transplantation, a crucial treatment for diabetes, is underutilized due to its invasiveness, strict criteria, organ scarcity, and limited centers. This highlights the need for enhanced public education and awareness through digital health platforms.
Methods: We utilized Google's AI-driven, consensus-based model and Claude AI 3.
Introduction: Preventing chronic diseases among children and adolescents requires a comprehensive approach. The Nutri-Score, a front-of-pack nutrition labeling system, may play an important role in public health by enhancing overall nutritional quality of dietary intake, a key modifiable risk factor. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of the 2015 and 2023 NS-NPM to discriminate food consumption and nutrient intake in a population of French children and adolescents.

Hence, a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to determine the effect of nut intake on blood lipids.
Data Synthesis: MEDLINE-PubMed and Cochrane databases were searched.
Article Synopsis
- Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), such as pacemakers, can be life-saving but are not without risks, particularly the threat of infections which occur in 1% to 15% of cases.
- A case involving a 50-year-old female with a 20-year-old pacemaker revealed a Serratia marcescens infection that led to late-onset endocarditis, requiring open-heart surgery despite antibiotic treatment.
- The case emphasizes the rarity and complexity of CIED infections, stressing the need for early diagnosis and interdisciplinary management to improve patient outcomes.
Articular masses comprise various disease entities including benign or malignant proliferative processes and other non-neoplastic processes such as infection, deposition diseases, vascular malformations, and other lesions. Many diseases that lead to intra-articular or para-articular masses have distinct imaging features, particularly on MRI. Radiologists can localize masses to the joint space by knowing the articular anatomy and can reach a suggested diagnosis by looking at precise imaging findings.
