Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), which have a reciprocal relationship compounded by obesity, are highly prevalent in the Middle East affecting morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the severity of MASLD and liver fibrosis among adult Emirati patients with long-standing T2DM.
Design And Participants: This cross-sectional study used noninvasive methods to assess the severity of MASLD and fibrosis progression in an adult cohort of Emirati patients (N = 546) with a mean T2DM duration of 16 years.

Purpose: Optimal management of retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma (RPS) often requires extensive tumor resections, frequently involving gastrointestinal organs. The impact of these procedures on the nutritional status and hemoglobin (Hb) levels of RPS patients remain unexplored. In this study, we aimed to evaluate preoperative nutritional status as well as the prevalence of anemia in RPS patients, and to investigate longitudinal changes throughout the disease course in order to identify potential strategies for prehabilitation.

The genetic relationship between migraine and stroke remains underexplored, particularly in the context of druggable targets. Previous studies have been limited by small sample sizes and a lack of focus on genetic-targeted therapies for these conditions. We analyzed the association and causality between migraine and stroke using multivariable logistic regression in the UK Biobank cohort and Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses based on genome-wide association study (GWAS) data.

The probiotic impact of microbes on host metabolism and health depends on both host genetics and bacterial genomic variation. is the predominant human gut commensal emerging as a next-generation probiotic. Although this bacterium exhibits substantial intraspecies diversity, it is unclear whether genetically distinct strains might lead to functional differences in the gut microbiome.

Background/aims: Accurately determining the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status is crucial in identifying suitable candidates for targeted therapy in gastric cancer, considering the cost and potential side effects of anti-HER2 treatments. This study aimed to assess HER2 overexpression/amplification prevalence in gastric and gastroesophageal cancer patients, its correlation with clinicopathological characteristics, and the consistency of HER2 status between biopsy and radical specimens.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed data from 667 specimens of 600 gastric/gastroesophageal cancer patients at Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Medicine from 2012 to 2021.
