Concomitant use of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and metformin and the risk of osteomyelitis reporting: a disproportionality analysis based on FAERS database.

Background: Recent clinical case reports have generated controversy concerning the adverse events (AEs) of amputation linked to sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). We assessed the risk of osteomyelitis AE reporting linked to SGLT2i or SGLT2i-metformin co-medication.

Research Design And Methods: Investigated the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System for osteomyelitis-related AEs associated with SGLT2i or SGLT2i-metformin co-medication from 2013q2 to 2023q1.

Genome sequence of the Mediterranean red coral Corallium rubrum.

Objectives: Corallium rubrum, the precious red coral, is an octocoral endemic to the western Mediterranean Sea. Like most octocorals, it produces tiny, calcified structures called sclerites. Uniquely, it also produces a completely calcified axial skeleton that is a bright red color.

SIRT6 deficiency impairs the deacetylation and ubiquitination of UHRF1 to strengthen glycolysis and lactate secretion in bladder cancer.

Background: Aberrant interplay between epigenetic reprogramming and metabolic rewiring events contributes to bladder cancer progression and metastasis. How the deacetylase Sirtuin-6 (SIRT6) regulates glycolysis and lactate secretion in bladder cancer remains poorly defined. We thus aimed to study the biological functions of SIRT6 in bladder cancer.

Single- and multi-locus genome-wide association study reveals genomic regions of thirteen yield-related traits in common wheat.

Genetic dissection of yield-related traits can be used to improve wheat yield through molecular design breeding. In this study, we genotyped 245 wheat varieties and measured 13 yield-related plant height-, grain-, and spike-related traits, in seven environments, and identified 778 loci for these traits by genome-wide association study (GWAS) using single- and multi-locus models. Among these loci, nine were major, of which seven were novel, including Qph/lph.

Multidimensional perspectives on nurse burnout in China: a cross-sectional study of subgroups and predictors.

Background: Burnout is a state of physical and mental exhaustion triggered by long-term work stress, which is manifested mainly as emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a decreased sense of accomplishment. Among them, emotional exhaustion is its core feature, which often leads to a significant decrease in an individual's enthusiasm for work. Owing to the high intensity of the work environment and the special requirements of emotional labor, the nursing community is more vulnerable to burnout.
