Weight Regain After Incretin Treatment: The Lean Mass Deficit Hypothesis and a Role for Testosterone Combination Therapy in Men

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RAs), dual glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP‐1RA and triple (GIP)/GLP‐1RA/glucagon agonists achieve placebo‐subtracted weight loss of 15% to 22%. Their long‐term value depends on how well the weight loss is maintained and on the composition of weight loss, not only

Platelet concentrates in sinus augmentation: The impact of platelet dose and biological characteristics—A systematic review and meta‐analysis

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This systematic review investigated the osteogenic effects of platelet concentrate (PRF/PRP) when combined with non‐autogenous graft materials in sinus lift procedures. Key characteristics assessed included platelet concentration, total platelet dose, leukocyte content, and fibrin‐network structure.

ALOX15 mediates thrombin‐induced myristoylation, trafficking, and interaction of protease‐activated receptors, leading to platelet activation and hemostasis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The role of PARs in platelet function is fairly known; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We report that thrombin myristoylates PAR4 in mouse platelets and PAR1 and PAR4 in human platelets, facilitating their membrane transport and interaction, leading to PAR3/4 heterodimers in mice and PAR1/4 heterodimers in humans.

Impact of Heat Block Drying on Morphologic Preservation and Staining of Peripheral Blood Smears

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Morphologic evaluation of the peripheral blood smear is critical for diagnosis and ruling out certain hematologic disorders. While air‐drying is standard, some laboratories may use heat blocks to expedite drying. Excessive heat may induce morphologic artifacts, but there is a lack of systematic literature on this practice ...
