FoxO1 promotes high glucose-induced inflammation and cataract formation via JAK1/STAT1.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
January 2025
National Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases, Eye Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University, 270 Xueyuan West Road, Wenzhou, 325027, Zhejiang, China.
Purpose: To investigate whether in diabetic cataract (DC), FoxO1 regulates high glucose (HG)-induced activation of NLRC4/IL-6 inflammatory mediators in human lens epithelial cells (SRA01/04) via the JAK1/STAT1 pathway, leading to cataract formation.
Methods: Expression levels of FoxO1, inflammatory factor IL-6 and inflammatory vesicle NLRC4 were examined in SRA01/04 under high glucose (HG) stress at 25-150 mM. Rat lenses were also cultured using HG medium with or without the addition of the FoxO1 inhibitor AS1842856 and the JAK1 agonist RO8191.
Hearing care in low-resourced and humanitarian settings: findings from a pilot study in South Sudan.
Int J Audiol

Cochlear Center for Hearing and Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Objectives: This longitudinal experimental study aimed to profile audiometric hearing loss, explore the feasibility and efficacy of low-cost hearing devices, and examine their social and emotional impact on participants in South Sudan, a low-resource humanitarian setting.
Design: We performed pure tone hearing screenings on adults with self-reported hearing disability, randomly providing eligible participants with one of two inexpensive devices-Asana Pro 800, a non-customizable hearing device fit unilaterally, or the Super Ear SE9000, a hand-held amplifier with headphones given one per individual.
Study Sample: Between October 2022 and January 2023, 142 adults underwent hearing screening at the Juba Teaching Hospital ENT clinic, of whom 19 eligible individuals were provided with hearing devices.
Capture of Patient Itch Scores in Practice Reveals Disparate Itch Impact on the Basis of Age, Gender, and Race: A Cross-Sectional Survey Analysis.
JID Innov
March 2025
Department of Dermatology, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Background: Skin symptom burden, varying with patient populations, may not be readily observed by clinicians, resulting in incomplete appreciation of total skin disease burden.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to define patient itch burdens and associated health-related QOL affecting different patient demographics and to identify potential population health disparities.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional, secondary data analysis of data captured using an automated routine electronic previsit survey completed by patients who visited Emory Healthcare Dermatology clinic between March 2021 and October 2022 (6532 patient visits).
Optimizing Prostate Cancer Surgery for Seniors: Single-Port Robotic-Assisted Platform.

January 2025
Department of Urology, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
The Da Vinci single-port (SP) platform is being used more frequently in radical prostatectomy (RP). In this study we aimed to compare the complications and oncological outcomes of the Da Vinci SP platform in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-RARP) between elderly and young age-groups and to further examine differences between young-old and old-old patients. Data from 193 patients who underwent SP-RARP between December 2018 and June 2024 were analyzed.

Institute of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway.
Background: Women with previous hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) have increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Overweight is a modifiable risk factor for both conditions. Anthropometric indices such as waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, estimated total body fat, a body shape index, waist-to-hip-to-height ratio, and index of central obesity improve estimation of cardiovascular death risk in the general population as compared to body mass index (BMI).
