ABSTRACT GNB1 encephalopathy is a rare genetic disease caused by pathogenic variants in the G Protein Subunit Beta 1 (GNB1) gene, with only around 68 cases documented worldwide. Although most cases had been caused by de novo germline mutations, in this case, the… →
Anna Grenda April 27, 2024 Int J Mol Sci. 2024 Apr 10;25(8):4208. doi: 10.3390/ijms25084208. ABSTRACT Lung cancer has become a major public health concern, standing as the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Among its subtypes, small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by aggressive and rapid growth, poor differentiation, and neuroendocrine features. Typically, SCLC is… →
Chiara Zanon April 27, 2024 J Clin Med. 2024 Apr 22;13(8):2436. doi: 10.3390/jcm13082436. ABSTRACT Background/Objectives: Advancements in oral imaging technology are continually shaping the landscape of dental diagnosis and treatment planning. Among these, photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT), introduced in 2021, has emerged as a promising, high-quality oral technology. Dental imaging typically requires a resolution beyond… →
Can Yurttas April 27, 2024 J Clin Med. 2024 Apr 21;13(8):2422. doi: 10.3390/jcm13082422. ABSTRACT (1) Background: Laparoscopic staging is essential in gastric cancer (GC) to rule out peritoneal metastasis (PM). Hypericin, a plant-derived fluorescent compound, has been suggested to improve laparoscopic visualization of PM from GC. This prospective, single-arm, open-label clinical trial aimed to assess… →
Abhimanyu Agarwal April 27, 2024 J Clin Med. 2024 Apr 21;13(8):2418. doi: 10.3390/jcm13082418. ABSTRACT Background: The impact of oral anticoagulants (OACs) on cognitive impairment and dementia in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is not well characterized. This systematic review aims to address this knowledge gap. Methods: SCOPUS and PubMed searches were conducted to identify articles… →
Paul T King April 27, 2024 J Clin Med. 2024 Apr 19;13(8):2390. doi: 10.3390/jcm13082390. ABSTRACT Extracellular traps made by neutrophils (NETs) and other leukocytes such as macrophages and eosinophils have a key role in the initial immune response to infection but are highly inflammatory and may contribute to tissue damage. They are particularly relevant to… →
Aneta Zwierzchowska April 27, 2024 J Clin Med. 2024 Apr 18;13(8):2336. doi: 10.3390/jcm13082336. ABSTRACT Despite the established safety and efficacy of midurethral slings (MUS), which are the current gold standard treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the potential for postoperative complications remains a significant concern for both healthcare professionals and patients. Meanwhile, sonography has emerged… →
Pietro Luciano Serra April 27, 2024 J Clin Med. 2024 Apr 14;13(8):2268. doi: 10.3390/jcm13082268. ABSTRACT The article introduces neurotrophic keratopathy (NK), a condition resulting from corneal denervation due to various causes of trigeminal nerve dysfunctions. Surgical techniques for corneal neurotization (CN) have evolved, aiming to restore corneal sensitivity. Initially proposed in 1972, modern approaches offer… →
Wei-Shan Tsai April 27, 2024 J Clin Med. 2024 Apr 11;13(8):2219. doi: 10.3390/jcm13082219. ABSTRACT Background/Objectives: This one-year prospective observational study, conducted at two centers, aimed to report the natural history of retinal sensitivity (RS) loss in diabetic macular ischemia (DMI). Methods: Patients with stable-treated proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) were recruited if there was evidence of… →
Junjia Zhu April 27, 2024 Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2024 Mar 26;21(4):400. doi: 10.3390/ijerph21040400. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) increases the early detection of lung cancer. Identifying modifiable behaviors that may affect tumor progression in LDCT-detected patients increases the likelihood of long-term survival and a good quality of life. METHODS: We examined… →
