The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cerebral ischemia–reperfusion injury (CI/RI) is a major cause of secondary neuronal damage following ischemic stroke. This study investigated whether terazosin (TZ) exerts neuroprotective effects by regulating mitophagy and the reactive oxygen species (ROS)/NOD‐like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome axis.

Determinants of Early Renal Function Recovery After TIPS in Patients With Portal Hypertension
The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Renal dysfunction frequently occurs in patients with portal hypertension and is linked to unfavorable clinical outcomes. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has the potential to enhance renal perfusion through portal decompression; however, factors predicting early improvement in renal function remain insufficiently defined ...

Metabolic Syndrome and Dementia Risk in Older Adults: A Narrative Review
The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Dementia is a major global health issue in aging societies. Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of metabolic abnormalities, has been proposed as a modifiable risk factor for dementia, although existing evidence remains inconsistent. This review examined recent studies on the association between MetS and dementia risk in older adults.

Thyroid Cartilage Reconstruction With Titanium Mesh in Advanced Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.We report the first case of titanium mesh reconstruction of the thyroid cartilage following resection of papillary thyroid carcinoma with preservation of the laryngeal mucosa. This technique provided excellent functional outcomes while maintaining oncologic resection in a patient with locally advanced disease.

Differences in the Evaluation and Diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea by Sex: A Systematic Review
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This systematic review of 33 studies found that females with obstructive sleep apnea generally presented at an older age and with higher BMI, whereas males generally had greater neck circumference and apnea‐hypopnea index. These findings highlight clinically relevant sex‐based differences in OSA evaluation and support more individualized approaches to ...
