Background/aims: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common liver comorbidity with considerable global consequences. This study explores the efficacy of dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes, in reducing liver steatosis among NAFLD patients.
Methods: This randomized, open-label, two-arm, parallel-group trial enrolled patients with NAFLD and a controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) score of ≥ 252 dB/m.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines a new treatment strategy, involving one-level modified osteotomy combined with shoulder lifting correction, for severe kyphosis in patients with advanced ankylosing spondylitis (AS), addressing challenges linked to traditional two-level osteotomies.* -
- A retrospective review of 70 patients treated from 2012 to 2022 showed significant improvements in spinal alignment and pelvic parameters post-surgery, with key metrics indicating a restored sagittal balance and better overall spinal health.* -
- The results included a notable reduction in global kyphosis from 90.6° to 35.6° and significant clinical improvements in disability and quality of life as measured by established indices, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed treatment approach

Introduction: Maxillofacial trauma in children consists of >15% of all facial fractures, which is usually associated with sports injuries and falls while playing. Pediatric mandibular fractures are relatively less frequent when compared to adults, and the reason can be attributed to the child's protected anatomic features and infrequent exposure of children to alcohol-related road accidents. Management principles vary in children, and the main concern is about mandibular growth and the development of dentition.
