The CT examinations of 26 consecutive alcoholic patients with focal fatty infiltration of the liver were analyzed. Five different patterns of focal fatty infiltration were noted. In most alcoholic patients these appearances present no diagnostic problem and further confirmation can be obtained by repeating the CT scan within 1-2 weeks to see if interval resolution occurs following enforced abstinence. In select instances, more invasive and definitive procedures such as superselective angiography or liver biopsy may be necessary to differentiate these findings from other more serious diseases they may closely resemble, such as primary or secondary liver neoplasms.

Background: Chronic low back pain (LBP) is a significant global health concern, often linked to vertebral bone marrow lesions (BML), particularly fatty replacement (FR). This study aims to explore the relationship between the gut microbiome, serum metabolome, and FR in chronic LBP patients.
Methods: Serum metabolomic profiling and gut microbiome analysis were conducted in chronic LBP patients with and without FR (LBP + FR, = 40; LBP, = 40) and Healthy Controls (HC, = 31).

This letter discusses the recent study by Mukherjee , which identifies a significant prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) among newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in Bihar, India, and underscores the pressing need for integrated MASLD management within T2DM care. With 72.3% of the study cohort affected by MASLD, implementing routine liver function tests and ultrasound screenings is recommended as a standard practice in diabetes care, especially in regions with high prevalence rates.

Background: The use of a high-concentrate diet in fattening camels may have significant effects on growth performance and digestion as well as economic returns. This experiment was designed to study the effects of feeding different levels of concentrate in their diet on growth performance and digestion in a desert climate.
Methods: Eighteen 12-month-old male camel calves were used, and divided into three treatments of six each.

Significant losses of vegetables and fruits occur at multiple stages, including harvest, sorting, storage, and transportation, primarily due to mechanical damage, pathogen invasion, and the natural process of senescence. To mitigate postharvest decay and maintain superior quality of produce, conventional techniques such as low temperature storage and synthetic fungicide treatment are widely employed. Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM), an effective plant resistance inducers, has demonstrated its efficacy in protecting against a diverse range of fungal and bacterial pathogens.
