The study reveals that CMI levels significantly decrease after short‐term CSII therapy in T2DM, with CMI positively correlated with insulin resistance, indicating the therapy's significance in improving patients' cardiometabolic function. ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to investigate the changes in cardiometabolic index (CMI) levels in newly ...

This study investigated the effect of spinal bone metastasis (BM) on the biomechanical environment of the spine through estimates of load, strength, and the load‐to‐strength ratio (LSR). Our study suggests that task‐specific differences related to cancer, lesion type, and vertebral location differentially affect the biomechanical environment of the ...

Dual Topical Therapy. The Future of Stretch Marks?
ABSTRACT Striae distensae, or stretch marks, are linear scars that result from mechanical stretching of dermal tissue. They are most prevalent in women and in pregnancy, puberty, and obesity. The psychological and cosmetic symptoms may present a pathological synergy with the physical distress that stretch marks represent, especially if the patient is ...

Current treatments for severe lupus nephritis are limited by side effects due to poor drug targeting. This review explores how smart nanomaterials—like liposomes and biomimetic carriers—can precisely deliver drugs to overactive immune cells and the kidneys. These nanotherapeutics enhance efficacy, reduce toxicity, and enable combination strategies. The

ABSTRACT Introduction Adrenal incidentalomas (AI) are commonly found on imaging done for indications other than to assess the adrenal glands. Prevalence increases with age and is around 10% in people over 80 years. The majority of AIs are benign adenomas, with 20%−50% exhibiting mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS).

ABSTRACT Objective Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk factors including hypertension, type 2 diabetes and dyslipidaemia. By using evening doses of metyrapone, a short‐acting 11‐β hydroxylase inhibitor, it has been shown that it is possible to reset the abnormal circadian cortisol rhythm in MACS ...
