Ultrasonography Sliding Sign as a Predictor for Intraabdominal Adhesions in Repeated Cesarean Deliveries: Retrospective Cross Sectional Study

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
This retrospective cohort study included 350 individuals who underwent cesarean section. Data from 198 participants who met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The region below ROC curves for the sliding sign was 0.717 (95% CI: 0.645–0.789). The sensitivity was 58.9%, specificity was 84.6%, positive predictive value (PPV) was 81.7%, negative ...

Characterization of Pulmonary Functional Abnormalities in Systemic Sclerosis Using Xenon MRI

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Xenon MRI is increasingly used to evaluate patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH), both of which are common manifestations of systemic sclerosis (SSc). As such, Xe‐MRI may be suited to interrogate lung function impairment in SSc.

Longitudinal 1H and 129Xe Lung MRI in Patients With Post‐COVID Residual Lung Abnormalities

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background It is unclear how lung function may recover in patients with residual lung abnormalities (RLAs) following COVID‐19 pneumonia. Purpose To evaluate lung function trends over time in patients with RLAs following hospitalization due to COVID‐19. Study Type Prospective, multicenter longitudinal cohort study.

Effects of testosterone and high‐dose anabolic steroids on orthodontic‐induced bone remodeling and root resorption: An animal study

open access: yesJournal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigates the impact of disruptions in testosterone levels on bone remodeling, root resorption, and periodontal ligament (PDL) during orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) in a pubertal male rat model. Methods Testosterone deficiency was induced through orchiectomy, and the anabolic‐androgenic steroid (AAS, testosterone ...

Oral PHGG ameliorates atopic dermatitis‐like dermatitis with concurrent modulation of colonic IgA and cecal microbiota: implications for the gut–skin axis

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is increasingly recognized as a systemic inflammatory disorder linked to intestinal immune and microbiome dysregulation. However, whether dietary galactomannan fibers can mitigate AD through coordinated modulation of the gut–skin axis remains unexplored.

Chronic, Environmentally Relevant PM2.5 Exposure Exacerbates Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and Early‐Stage Renal Dysfunction in a Rodent Model

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While epidemiological studies link fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and renal dysfunction, a translational gap exists, as most animal models utilize acute, high‐dose exposures that poorly reflect chronic, moderate‐level human scenarios.

Paraben Exposure in the General Taiwanese Population: Reference Values, Personal Care Products, and Cumulative Risk Assessment

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parabens (parahydroxybenzoates), which are frequently used as preservatives in pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, and personal care products, have recently attracted considerable attention due to their adverse health effects and endocrine‐disrupting properties.

Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells‐2 Regulates Innate Lymphoid Cell Levels in Bleomycin‐Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a pathological change causing poor outcomes, is not reversible despite current antifibrotic therapy. Emerging evidence suggests that innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) mediate lung inflammation and fibrosis after stimulation by endogenous factors.

Corticosteroid Exposure in Chronic Rhinosinusitis and Global Airway Disease: Adrenal and Bone Impact

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate cumulative corticosteroid (CC) burden in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), with or without coexisting asthma (global airway disease, GAD), referred for biologic treatment, and to assess the prevalence of CC‐related comorbidities, including secondary adrenal insufficiency, osteopenia and ...
