3D MR Fingerprinting for Quantitative Bladder Wall T1, T2, and M0 Mapping in Healthy Subjects at 1.5 T and 3 T

NMR in Biomedicine, Volume 39, Issue 9, September 2026.
Current diagnostic tests for lower urinary tract symptoms lack the ability to assess tissue‐level alterations in the bladder wall. This study introduces an approach for simultaneous high‐resolution 3D T1, T2, and proton density mapping of the bladder wall using magnetic resonance fingerprinting combined with a self‐supervised deep learning ...

Long‐term insights: Seven years of conservative management for deep endometriosis in the bowel

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 9, Page 1848-1859, September 2026.
Long‐term conservative management of bowel endometriosis can maintain stable symptoms and sustained quality of life. Those who need surgery tend to have more severe pain, larger nodules, and a lower quality of life. Abstract Introduction Deep endometriosis (DE) involving the bowel presents a complex management challenge.

Obstructive Pyelonephritis Secondary to Ureteral Compression by an Intra‐Abdominal Desmoid Tumor in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In patients with familial adenomatous polyposis, intra‐abdominal desmoid tumors should be recognized as a rare but important cause of ureteral obstruction and obstructive pyelonephritis. Prompt cross‐sectional imaging, early recognition, and multidisciplinary management are essential for preserving renal function, treating infection, and ...

The metabolic‐immune hub: Dual roles of indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase in the acute kidney injury‐to‐chronic kidney disease transition and therapeutic perspectives

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
1. Indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase (IDO) acts as a time‐dependent metabolic–immune switch in the acute kidney injury‐to‐chronic kidney disease transition, protective early but pathogenic when sustained. 2. Early protection (regulatory T cell expansion, M2 polarisation and ferroptosis suppression) gives way to general control nonderepressible 2‐driven ...

Quantitative analysis of ureteral peristalsis in healthy women using transvaginal ultrasound combined with peristaltic analysis technology: a feasibility study

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
BackgroundAbnormalities in ureteral motility often precede morphological changes, and early subtle lesions are easily overlooked, thereby increasing the risk of renal impairment.

From Oral Candidiasis to Candidemia: A Review of Superficial to Invasive Progression

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Recent and limited evidence indicates that oral candidiasis can disseminate Candida albicans throughout the body, leading to invasive candidiasis, such as candidemia, a life‐threatening infection. Considering antifungal resistance and global outbreaks of emergent non‐albicans Candida and related yeasts, murine models help understand dissemination ...

SIRT Family: Biological Functions and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
SIRT1–SIRT7 networks from transgenic mice to human‑relevant therapeutic targets. SIRT1–SIRT7 form an isoform‑, organ‑, and disease‑specific regulatory network. Transgenic Sirt1–7 mouse models define central regulatory SIRTs (SIRT1, SIRT3, SIRT6), context‑dependent modifiers (SIRT2, SIRT4, SIRT5, SIRT7), and their key mechanisms and target organs. These
