Certain interoceptive hunger cues are caused by gut physiology. These interoceptive cues may have psychological consequences, namely an ability to enhance the desire to eat, which are independent of their physiological cause.

Background: The role of epigenetics in cardiovascular diseases has paved the way for innovative therapeutic approaches. Investigating epigenetic changes using cell-free DNA (cfDNA) holds substantial promise beyond mere diagnostics, especially for heart-related conditions like acute myocardial infarction (AMI), where obtaining tissue samples is a challenge. This study explores the methylation patterns of cfDNA in AMI patients and compares them with genomic DNA (gDNA) from the same individuals, aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of cfDNA as a valuable resource for studying heart-related diseases.

- * Through a series of 34 questions, ChatGPT demonstrated effectiveness in explaining clinical significance, differentiating anatomical structures, and generating diverse quizzes, although it struggled with accurately displaying anatomical features.
- * The findings suggest that when used systematically, ChatGPT can serve as a valuable educational tool for medical students and support anatomy teachers in delivering the curriculum without replacing traditional teaching methods.
Background: Various studies have observed an association between interleukin-6 (IL-6), serum ferritin, d-dimer, and in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients. However, multivariate regression analysis was not done in the majority of the studies, Also, the role of interleukin-6 (IL-6), serum ferritin, and d-dimer in hospitalized COVID-19 patients was not adequately studied and reported from our region.
Method: It was a retrospective cohort study in which the serum IL-6, serum ferritin, and d-dimer of 305 hospitalized COVID-19 patients were analyzed, and their association with mortality was determined.
