Multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes are a rare but potentially fatal pathology due to the lack of early diagnosis. We have performed a narrative review of the medical literature, summarizing the main clinical concepts useful in current clinical practice, showing the importance of screening and early diagnosis during childhood.

Aims: According to the 2023 International Consensus, glucose metrics derived from two-week-long continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can be extrapolated up to 90 days before. However, no studies have focused on adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) on multiple daily injections (MDIs) and with second-generation intermittently scanned CGM (isCGM) sensors in a real-world setting.

Methods: This real-world, retrospective study included 539 90-day isCGM data from 367 adults with T1D on MDI therapy.

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a known endocrine-disrupting chemical, is a plasticizer found in many common consumer products. High levels of DEHP exposure have been linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes, yet little is known about how it affects human uterine functions. We previously reported that the estrogen-regulated transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 2 alpha (HIF2α) promotes the expression of Rab27b, which controls the trafficking and secretion of extracellular vesicles (EVs).

Breast cancer patterns by age groups in Brazil: insights from population-based registries data.

BMC Cancer

January 2025

Division of Clinical Research and Technological Development, Brazilian National Cancer Institute, 37 Andre Cavalcanti Street, 5th floor, Annex Building, 20231050, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) has exhibited varied epidemiological trends based on distinct age categories. This research aimed to explore the incidence and mortality rates of BC within pre-defined age groups in the Brazilian population.

Methods: BC incidence trends were assessed from 2010 to 2015 using Brazilian Population-Based Cancer Registries, employing age-standardized ratios and annual average percentage change (AAPC).

Pathophysiological effects of hypoxia on testis function and spermatogenesis.

Nat Rev Urol

January 2025

Discipline of Biological Sciences, College of Engineering, Science and Environment, The University of Newcastle, Callaghan, New South Wales, Australia.

Multiple conditions can cause hypoxia in the testis, including exposure to high altitude, sleep apnoea, testicular torsion and varicocele. Varicocele accounts for up to 44% of instances of primary infertility, but the cumulative contribution of hypoxic conditions to male infertility is undefined. Results of controlled hypobaric hypoxia studies have demonstrated a substantial detrimental effect of short-term and long-term exposures on sperm; however, downstream effects on embryo development and offspring health are less well understood.

Burn-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in hepatocytes: The role of methylation-controlled J protein silencing.

J Trauma Acute Care Surg

January 2025

From the Division of Gastrointestinal, Trauma, and Endocrine Surgery, Department of Surgery (A.P., K.M.M., A.C.Q., E.J.K., J.-P.I.), Division of Burn Research (E.J.K.), and Division of Alcohol Research (E.J.K.), Department of Immunology and Microbiology, University of Colorado, Aurora, Colorado.

Background: Burn injuries trigger a systemic hyperinflammatory response, leading to multiple organ dysfunction, including significant hepatic damage. The liver plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses and metabolism after burn injuries, making it critical to develop strategies to mitigate hepatic impairment. This study investigates the role of methylation-controlled J protein (MCJ), an inner mitochondrial protein that represses complex I in burn-induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, using an in vitro Alpha Mouse Liver 12 cell model.
