- * Data from 120 T2DM patients, aged 30-60, was analyzed over a year, showing that women taking 10 mg of Empagliflozin had a notable decrease in ALT levels when compared to men not on the medication.
- * The findings suggest that starting SGLT2-I treatment can lower ALT levels in these patients, highlighting the potential benefit of early intervention along with lifestyle changes to improve liver health and reduce
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate disease-free survival (DFS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in nasopharyngeal cancer patients after chemoradiation, focusing on those with complete and partial metabolic responses as measured by PET/CT scans.
- - Results indicated that patients with a complete metabolic response had significantly better DFS (60.157 months) compared to the PFS of those with partial response (8.145 months), with certain factors like SUVmax and tumor size being linked to poorer outcomes.
- - Key findings showed 84% of responders experienced DFS with a low recurrence rate, while non-responders had more disease progression, and no significant predictors for PFS were identified among non-responders.
Reduction of oil absorption and acrylamide content in banana slices by infrared frying.
J Sci Food Agric
November 2024
Background: The crust characteristics of fried crisps determine their oil absorption. Starch structures, as the main components of fried starchy fruits and vegetables, influence their crust formation and properties. This study investigated the reduction of oil uptake and acrylamide content in infrared-fried (IF) banana slices by modifying starch structures at varying infrared power levels.

- Colorectal cancer (CRC) shows a complicated hereditary pattern, with an emphasis on rare genetic variants that could significantly affect CRC susceptibility, particularly in high-risk populations like those in the Middle East.
- A study involving 146 high-risk CRC patients and 1395 healthy controls sought to find rare genetic variants, revealing that specific inactivating variants had a strong link to high-risk CRC, notably showing a 60-fold increased risk for carriers.
- The findings suggest that several new genetic variants may influence CRC risks and highlight the need for further large-scale studies to validate these associations and improve genetic counseling for high-risk individuals and their families.
Two new dioxidovanadium(V) compounds with the general formula [VO(L)] (L = hydrazone ligand) were synthesized using three different methods (acidic, neutral, and basic media) with either VOSO. 5HO, [VO(acac)], or NHVO as the starting material and hydrazone ligands. In both cases, five coordinated V ions adopted distorted square pyramidal geometry through the coordination of two oxido ligands and one hydrazone ligand.
