Experimental alcoholic cardiomyopathy was simulated by aminotriazole administration (1 g/kg) into chronically ethanol intoxicated rats. Activity and isozyme spectra of organospecific enzymes and bilirubin concentration were determined in blood plasma. Activity of catalase was assayed in liver and heart homogenates. The data obtained suggest that not only myocardium but also skeletal muscles were impaired in the experimental group of animals. This phenomenon appears to elucidate the similar pathological effect of ethyl alcohol on myocardium and skeletal muscles.

Background: Misusing alcohol can cause damage to different tissues in the body, resulting in conditions like alcoholic liver disease, pancreatitis, cardiomyopathy, neurotoxicity, muscle wasting, weakened immune system, hormonal disruptions, birth defects, and bone loss. The objective of this research was to evaluate how alcohol affects the exocrine pancreas histology and the levels of amylase in the blood serum. Additionally, it aimed to explore whether vitamin E provides a safeguard against alcohol-induced harm to the pancreas in rabbits.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the link between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and early left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
- - Conducted on ninety diabetic outpatients, the study did not find a significant association between NAFLD and LVDD progression, despite high rates of both conditions among participants.
- - The research highlights the importance of monitoring LVDD in diabetic patients with NAFLD to potentially prevent future heart complications, even without a direct correlation found between the two conditions.

NEC Solution Innovators, Ltd., Tokyo, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create risk prediction models that estimate the likelihood of multiple diseases (heart, brain, liver, etc.) using only health checkup data for personalized healthcare strategies.
- Researchers analyzed health checkup data from over 92,000 individuals and developed models using Cox proportional hazard regression to predict disease risk based on various health metrics.
- The developed models showed strong predictive capabilities, with high area under the curve scores for several diseases, potentially aiding in early diagnosis and targeted prevention strategies.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of a standardized alcoholic extract of seeds (CPS) from an Indian traditional medicinal plant for treating diabetes-related complications, including neuropathy and cardiac issues in rodents.
- The research involved administering two doses of CPS to diabetic rats and monitoring their effects on blood glucose levels, body weight, and various health parameters over six weeks, alongside histopathological examinations.
- Results indicated that CPS treatment significantly improved motor functions, reduced diabetic complications, and normalized blood pressure and other vital signs, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent for diabetes management.

Article Synopsis
- - Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major global health issue, heavily influenced by inflammation, and the review focuses on the cGAS-STING pathway that plays a key role in these inflammatory responses.
- - The study discusses the involvement of the cGAS-STING pathway in various complications of DM, including early-stage DM, diabetic gastroenteropathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
- - It also explores the potential of targeting the cGAS-STING pathway for developing therapeutic agents aimed at improving precision treatment for diabetes and its related complications.
