Background/objectives: Despite advancements in antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV-positive individuals face heightened risks of cardiovascular and gastrointestinal (GI) complications, often linked to persistent systemic inflammation. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD), prevalent in HIV patients, exacerbates this inflammatory state and may contribute to worsened GI symptoms. This study aims to explore the association between LVDD, systemic inflammation, and gastrointestinal symptoms in HIV-positive patients undergoing ART.

Without careful dissection of the ways in which biases can be encoded into artificial intelligence (AI) health technologies, there is a risk of perpetuating existing health inequalities at scale. One major source of bias is the data that underpins such technologies. The STANDING Together recommendations aim to encourage transparency regarding limitations of health datasets and proactive evaluation of their effect across population groups.

Aim: To evaluate the role of miR-155 in macrophage polarisation in stage III/IV periodontitis with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Materials And Methods: Sixty four patients were recruited and categorized into Group I-systemically and Periodontally healthy (n = 16), Group II-systemically healthy with Stage III/IV Periodontitis(n = 16), Group III-Periodontally healthy with T2DM (n = 16) and Group IV- Stage III/IV Periodontitis with T2DM(n = 16).Gingival tissue samples were collected and Real time-PCR was carried out for microRNA-155, TNF- α(marker for M1 phenotype) and Arg-1(marker for M2 phenotype) gene expression.

Objective: Ampullary neoplastic lesions can be resected by endoscopic papillectomy (EP) or transduodenal surgical ampullectomy (TSA) while pancreaticoduodenectomy is reserved for more advanced lesions. We present the largest retrospective comparative study analysing EP and TSA.

Design: Of all patients in the database, lesions with prior interventions, benign histology advanced malignancy (T2 and more), patients with hereditary syndromes and those undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy were excluded.
