Slow Transit Constipation: Pathophysiological Perspectives and Management Updates
Slow transit constipation (STC) is a complex neuromuscular disorder driven by interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) loss and enteric neuropathy. Diagnosis relies on objective transit testing while excluding pelvic floor dysfunction. Management follows a stepwise, phenotype‐driven approach, progressing from conventional laxatives to emerging targeted ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BD) are often associated with persistent cognitive deficits that impair psychosocial functioning. While pro‐cognitive interventions show promise, trial findings are inconsistent, potentially due to baseline factors influencing treatment response.

We selected breast cancer‐specific DNA methylation markers using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We analyzed the methylation and expression patterns of candidate genes in breast cancer cell lines, ctDNA, and tissue samples. The relationship between ctDNA methylation markers and the clinicopathological features of breast cancer patients was investigated.

This retrospective study of patients with small, node‐negative HER2+ breast cancer found favorable 5‐year invasive disease‐free survival rates—93% for pT1mic/a disease and 100% for pT1b disease. Trastuzumab was administered to 66% of patients and was associated with larger tumor size and higher histologic grade.

Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders
Abstract The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis is regulated by the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone pulse generator in the hypothalamus. This is comprised of neurons that secrete kisspeptin in a pulsatile manner to stimulate the release of GnRH, and, in turn, downstream gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, and subsequently sex steroids and ...
