Multimodal Exploratory Analysis of Persistent Diabetic Macular Edema: Integrating Aqueous Humour Metabolomics, Clinical and OCT Features

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose This exploratory study integrates aqueous humour metabolomic data with clinical and imaging features to examine candidate biomarkers and characterize multimodal patterns associated with persistent diabetic macular edema (pDME). Methods In this prospective cohort study, DME patients were treated with monthly anti‐VEGF injections over 3 ...

Costs and Benefits of Prenatal Screening For Cystic Fibrosis [PDF]

Newly-developed genetic tests based on restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) promise to facilitate the early detection of genetic diseases. Several such tests are now available for the prenatal detection of cystic fibrosis (CF), a common and ...

Eosinophilia and Hypereosinophilia: A Practical Approach to Navigating a Broad Differential Diagnosis

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eosinophilia, defined as an absolute eosinophil count (AEC) of ≥ 0.5 × 109/L, is a frequently encountered finding with a vast spectrum of potential underlying etiologies. Hypereosinophilia (HE) is defined as AEC > 1.5 × 109/L and may become life‐threatening when eosinophil‐induced organ damage occurs, defining the hypereosinophilic syndrome ...

Clinicopathological and molecular comparison of eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma and TFEB‐amplified renal cell carcinoma: a comprehensive study of 15 cases

Histopathology, EarlyView.
This study supports the need for ancillary testing to diagnose ESC‐RCC versus TFEB‐amplified RCC, as neither morphology nor immunohistochemistry is sufficiently specific to distinguish these entities. The underlying molecular drivers in each tumour are pathogenic TSC1 or TSC2 gene variants in ESC‐RCC and TFEB gene amplification in TFEB‐amplified RCC ...

Predictive utility of computed tomography‐derived renal parenchymal volume for long‐term postoperative renal function in cats with hydronephrosis

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives To evaluate the utility of preoperative feline renal parenchymal volume derived from computed tomography in predicting the serum creatinine concentration during the long‐term postoperative period. Materials and Methods In this retrospective clinical study, we included 13 client‐owned cats with normal kidneys and 24 cats with hydronephrosis ...

Ion Channel Dysfunction and Therapeutic Targeting in Salivary Gland Disorders

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia represent major clinical complications of radiation therapy, autoimmune disorders such as Sjögren's disease, and inherited epithelial ion transport defects. This review integrates current knowledge on ion channel dysfunction as a central mechanistic driver of salivary gland pathology and ...

Unusual Giant Sialocyst Arising From Wharton's Duct: A Case Report

Oral Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Head and neck masses in adults are a common reason for referral to maxillofacial surgeons and otolaryngologists, and most are benign. True salivary duct cysts (sialocysts) are extremely rare, accounting for < 1% of salivary duct lesions, and primarily involve minor salivary glands. Involvement of major salivary glands is exceptional,

Novel and emerging antimicrobial strategies in the management of oral infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Antibiotics marked a pivotal turning point in human civilization, enhancing social interactions and extending human life expectancy. In addition to their success in treating systemic infectious diseases, they have significantly improved periodontal treatment outcomes as an adjunct therapy.

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Access to Home‐Based Renal Replacement Therapies Among Incident End‐Stage Renal Disease Patients in the United States

Seminars in Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Racial and ethnic disparities in access to home‐based renal replacement therapies (RRT) remain a major concern in the management of end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) in the United States. Despite national efforts to expand home hemodialysis (HHD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD), inequities at treatment initiation persist.
