Capsaicin Mitigates Insulin Resistance-Driven Prostate Hyperplasia Via IGF-1 Signalling Modulation in HFD + STZ Rat Model. [PDF]
High‐fat diet with streptozotocin induced Insulin Resistance (IR) with elevated fasting blood glucose, insulin levels and increased Prostate weight. Capsaicin administration significantly ameliorated fasting glucose, insulin levels, reduced prostate weight and downregulated IGF‐1, MEK and ERK expression, and mitigated histopathological alterations ...

Responses to medical treatment in patients with metastatic unresectable small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors - A single center study of 378 patients. [PDF]
Abstract Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (siNET) are rare malignancies, often diagnosed at advanced stages with metastatic spread. While surgery is the only curative treatment, medical therapies, including somatostatin analogues (SSA), peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), and other systemic treatments, are essential for disease ...

Increased airway glucose increases airway bacterial load in hyperglycaemia. [PDF]
Diabetes is associated with increased frequency of hospitalization due to bacterial lung infection. We hypothesize that increased airway glucose caused by hyperglycaemia leads to increased bacterial loads.
