The pharmacokinetic profiles of medications are altered in overweight and underweight patients, but few studies have described these differences in patients with body mass index extremes. As solid organ transplant programs expand their candidate selection criteria to accommodate a growing population of patients with weight extremes, it has become imperative to understand and evaluate the impact weight extremes have on the pharmacokinetics of life-sustaining immunosuppression in this population. This review will describe pharmacokinetic and dosing considerations for weight extremes in solid organ transplant recipients, including changes following bariatric surgeries, non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic management strategies for weight loss and gain, and potential drug-drug interactions with popular weight management products.

Department of MRI, Xinxiang Central Hospital (The Fourth Clinical College of Xinxiang Medical University), 56 Jinsui Road, Xinxiang, Henan, 453000, China.
Background: To develop and validate an interpretable machine learning model based on intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics combined with clinicoradiological features and metabolic information from magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), to predict clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa, Gleason score ≥ 3 + 4) and avoid unnecessary biopsies.
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 350 patients with suspicious prostate lesions from our institution who underwent 3.0 Tesla multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) prior to biopsy (training set, n = 191, testing set, n = 83, and a temporal validation set, n = 76).
Evaluation of the update for screening for retinopathy of prematurity in a tertiary care center in Türkiye with retrospective cohorts.
Turk J Med Sci
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Health Sciences, Tepecik Research and Training Hospital, İzmir, Turkiye.
Background/aim: In Türkiye, the recommendations for screening for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) were updated in 2021. We aimed to present detailed data on the infants included in the screening program according to the new criteria and evaluate whether these changes are of benefit in detecting severe ROP.
Materials And Methods: Our hospital's medical records of infants screened for ROP between July 2019 and July 2021 or between August 2021 and August 2023 were retrospectively examined.

Development of a novel modeling framework based on weighted kernel extreme learning machine and ridge regression for streamflow forecasting.

A precise streamflow forecast is crucial in hydrology for flood alerts, water quantity and quality management, and disaster preparedness. Machine learning (ML) techniques are commonly employed for hydrological prediction; however, they still face certain drawbacks, such as the need to optimize the appropriate predictors, the ability of the models to generalize across different time horizons, and the analysis of high-dimensional time series. This research aims to address these specific drawbacks by developing a novel framework for streamflow forecasting.
