Background And Aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its more severe subtype, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), are highly prevalent and strongly associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study sought to identify challenges to the diagnosis, treatment and management of people living with MASLD and MASH and understand the key barriers to adopting relevant clinical guidelines.
Methods: A real-world, cross-sectional study (BARRIERS-MASLD) consisting of a quantitative survey and qualitative interviews of physicians in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom was conducted from March to September 2023.

Background: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) is infrequently performed in older women, at least in part owing to concerns regarding age-related complications. We describe postoperative outcomes of NSM in older women and risk factors for complications, with the goal of informing patient selection and decision-making.
Patients And Methods: Cases of NSM with immediate implant-based reconstruction were identified from an institutional database (2009-2019).

Patients underwent a thorough history-taking and clinical examination.

Background: In 43-63% of symptomatic Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, there is an observed accumulation of misfolded alpha-synuclein (αSyn). Two primary αSyn subtypes have been identified based on the underlying spreading pattern of this pathology: caudo-rostral and amygdala-predominant. Interactions between pathological TDP-43, Tau, and αSyn can aggravate their spread and aggregation.
