Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and cancer risk: A cohort study.

Background: Fatty liver disease may be associated with increased risks of intrahepatic and extrahepatic cancers. Our objective was to investigate associations between new subcategories of steatotic liver disease (SLD) recently proposed by nomenclature consensus group and cancer risk.

Methods: A total of 283 238 participants from the UK Biobank were included.

Causal Relationship Between Gluten-Free Diet and Autoimmune-Related Disease Risk: A Comprehensive Mendelian Randomization Study.

While the gluten-free diet (GFD) is primarily used to treat celiac disease (CD), recent research suggests it may also offer benefits for autoimmune-related diseases (ARDs), though findings remain inconsistent. This study aimed to investigate the potential protective effect of a GFD against ARDs by Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis. Utilizing data from over 500,000 samples from the UK Biobank and other publicly available genome-wide association studies (GWAS), MR analysis revealed a significant negative causal relationship between GFD and the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (OR = 0.

A biofuel cell of (methyl violet/AuNPs)/FTO photoanode and bilirubin oxidase/CuCoO bio-photocathode inspired by the photoelectrochemistry activities of fluorescent materials/molecules.

Herein, we discuss the idea that fluorescent materials/molecules should logically show potential photoelectrochemistry (PEC) activity, and, in particular, the PEC of fluorescent small molecules (previously usually acting only as dye sensitizers for conventional semiconductors) is explored. After examining the PEC activities of some typical inorganic or organic fluorescent materials/molecules and by adopting methyl violet (MV) with the highest PEC activity among the examined fluorescent small molecules, a new and efficient (MV/Au nanoparticles (AuNPs))/fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) photoanode without conventional semiconductor(s) is prepared by layer-by-layer alternating the electrodeposition of AuNPs and the adsorption of MV. A bilirubin oxidase (BOD)/CuCoO/FTO bio-photocathode is prepared by electrodeposition, calcination and cast-coating.

A Nomogram Model for Predicting Recurrent Coronary Thrombosis in Kawasaki Disease Patients.

Background: Coronary thrombosis is a serious cardiovascular complication of Kawasaki disease (KD), and recurrence of coronary thrombosis increases the short-term risk of myocardial infarction and the long-term risk of coronary artery disease. However, there are currently no studies predicting the recurrence of coronary thrombosis, so the aim of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram to predict recurrent coronary thrombosis in KD patients.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of data from 149 KD patients who had a history of previous coronary disease at the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from 2013 to 2020.

Arthroscopic Repair of Subscapularis Tendon Using a Percutaneous Continuous Sewing Machine-Like Suture Technique Through a Single Working Portal.

Tearing of the subscapularis tendon is a common shoulder injury that typically requires arthroscopic repair. The suture-passing device is a standard tool for repairing the subscapularis tendon. However, it poses the risk of device breakage and may cause additional damage to the tendon.
