AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Objectives: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) outcomes were observed to be influenced by circulating trace elements' status. The differences and correlations between serum levels of chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), and selenium (Se) in Saudi patients with and without T2DM as well as those with prediabetes (pre-DM) were examined in this retrospective cross-sectional study.
Methods: Anthropometrics and fasting blood samples were collected from 119 patients with T2DM (aged 41-64 years), 95 non-T2DM (aged 27-55 years), and 80 with pre-DM (aged 35-57 years). An inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer was used to measure trace minerals in the blood.
Results: T2DM patients had significantly lower Mn serum concentrations than controls. There was no difference in Cr and Ni levels between groups. Serum Mn and Ni levels were lower in pre-DM subjects than controls. Serum Se concentrations were higher in pre-DM and T2DM patients than controls. In T2DM patients, serum Cr and Mn levels were inversely correlated with glucose, while Ni and Se levels were positively correlated with glucose in the T2DM group.
Conclusions: Because of their roles in glucose metabolism, impaired trace element status may also play a role in T2DM pathogenesis. Appropriate dietary control and mineral supplementation are recommended.

Biosciences Institute, Newcastle University Cancer Centre, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Newcastle University, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a major cause of female infertility, affects 4%-20% of reproductive-age women. Metabolic and hormonal alterations are key features of PCOS, potentially raising the risk of endometrial (EC) and ovarian (OVCA) cancers. This systematic review aims to summarise the proposed molecular mechanisms involved in the association between PCOS and EC or OVCA.

Background: Patients with erosive oesophagitis, and those with persistent symptomatic non-erosive gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, require long-term maintenance treatment with acid-suppressing agents.
Aim: To evaluate the safety of vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker, in an integrated analysis of data from clinical trials in adults.
Methods: We included 14 clinical trials of vonoprazan conducted in multiple countries.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a common disease in children. Lifestyle modification is the primary treatment but difficult to achieve and maintain. Topiramate is a component of an approved weight loss medication (topiramate-phentermine) in children aged 12 years and older but is more commonly used as a single agent, off-label, for pediatric obesity.

Background: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Cytokines have been linked to various cancers, and both benign and malignant breast diseases are associated with inflammation. However, there is limited understanding of how the immune system's cytokine response varies among different subtypes of breast cancer.

Objectives: Phenylketonuria is a hereditary condition caused by the deficiency of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase, leading to abnormal phenylalanine metabolism. Managing phenylketonuria involves implementing dietary interventions to control phenylalanine levels and prevent complications. However, these treatments can lead to long-lasting negative effects, including impacts on bone health and abnormal biochemical test findings.
