Metformin as a Multifaceted Therapeutic Agent for Gastrointestinal Diseases: Mechanisms, Clinical Efficacy, and Future Directions

Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The high prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases and their significant impact on the quality of life require new therapeutic strategies. The development of novel therapeutic strategies should prioritize targeting the fundamental pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these diseases, including inflammation, cellular proliferation, and ...

Pediatric vascular compression of the esophagus: Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe as a complement to imaging and endoscopy

JPGN Reports, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 192-199, May 2026.
Abstract Objectives Vascular anomalies can cause extrinsic esophageal compression, leading to dysphagia or feeding difficulties in children. Diagnosis typically relies on imaging and endoscopy, which may under‐ or overestimate functional narrowing. Endoluminal functional lumen imaging probe (EndoFLIP) provides luminal parameters in real‐time, but its ...

Carrier screening in the reproductive setting—Are there medical implications for the heterozygote?—A guide for clinicians

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn

The Age Structure of a Population of \u3ci\u3eAedes Provocans\u3c/i\u3e (Diptera: Culicidae) in Southwestern Ontario [PDF]

, 2017
In a previous paper it was shown that an eastern-Ontario population of the early-spring mosquito Aedes provocans had an atypical age structure: the adult-female population aged rapidly and synchronously, achieving an advanced gonotrophic age in an ...

Thoracoscopy for Esophageal Diverticula After Esophageal Atresia With Tracheo-Esophageal Fistula

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021
Background: Esophageal diverticulum (ED) is an extremely rare complication of congenital esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) surgery. We aimed to investigate feasible methods for the treatment of this rare complication.

Adverse Hemodynamics in Kommerell's Diverticulum: A Comparative Case Report Linking Oscillatory Shear Index to Aortic Dissection

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Hemodynamic evaluation using four‐dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging or computational fluid dynamics can identify a high‐risk phenotype in Kommerell's diverticulum, which is characterized by intradiverticular vortex formation, low wall shear stress, and elevated oscillatory shear index (OSI).

Cytological Clues to Pharyngoesophageal Diverticula Mimicking Thyroid Nodules

Diagnostic Cytopathology, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 315-319, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Pharyngoesophageal diverticula (PED) are uncommon hypopharyngeal outpouchings that may mimic thyroid nodules because of their close anatomic proximity to the thyroid gland. We describe two cases in which PED presented as thyroid nodules and resulted in atypical cytological findings.
