Impact of Ghrelin‐Depleting Gastrectomy on Long‐Term Endocrine and Metabolic Health With a Focus on Skeletal Muscle and Bone Mineral Content

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigates the long‐term endocrine and metabolic consequences of ghrelin‐depleted gastrectomy, with a focus on skeletal muscle mass and bone mineral content. Sustained reductions in serum desacyl‐ghrelin were linked to lower IGF‐1 levels, resulting in significant loss of muscle and bone.

A Hybrid Transfer Learning Framework for Brain Tumor Diagnosis

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
A novel hybrid transfer learning approach for brain tumor classification achieves 99.47% accuracy using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. By combining image preprocessing, ensemble deep learning, and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) techniques like gradient‐weighted class activation mapping and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), the ...

Frequent somatic mutations of GNAQ in uveal melanoma and blue naevi. [PDF]

, 2009
BRAF and NRAS are common targets for somatic mutations in benign and malignant neoplasms that arise from melanocytes situated in epithelial structures, and lead to constitutive activation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway.

Long‐Term Particulate Matter Exposure May Increase Risk of Chronic Rhinosinusitis WIth Nasal Polyposis: Results from an Exposure‐Matched Study

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Particulate matter ⩽2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5) and its role in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) pathogenesis have gained heightened attention. We previously demonstrated that PM2.5 exposure may bias the nasal mucosa in CRS toward a Type 2 inflammatory pathway.
