- The association of blood biomarkers with cerebral white matter and myelin content in bipolar disorder: a systematic reviewby Mohammad Ali on May 7, 2024
CONCLUSION: This systematic review revealed that blood-based biomarkers are associated with markers of WM deficits observed in BD. Longitudinal studies investigating the potential clinical utility of these specific biomarkers are encouraged.
- Associations of strabismus surgery timing in childhood with mental health: a retrospective cohort studyby Ian Hidinger on May 5, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with children having early strabismus surgery, those having surgery at a later age after an early strabismus diagnosis at ≤5 years of age may be more likely to experience a mental health disorder during childhood, although it is unclear whether such disorders are a result of delayed surgery or a driver of the decision to opt for surgery rather than continued conservative management.
- Adiposity, immunity, and inflammation: interrelationships in health and disease: A report from 24th annual Harvard nutrition obesity symposium, June 2023by M Furkan Burak on May 5, 2024
The rapidly evolving field of immunometabolism explores how changes in local immune environments may affect the key metabolic and cellular processes, including that of adipose tissue. Importantly, these changes may contribute to low-grade systemic inflammation. In turn, chronic low-grade inflammation affecting adipose tissue may exacerbate the outcome of metabolic diseases. Novel advances in our understanding of immune-metabolic processes may critically lead to interventions to reduce disease...
- Which Drugs are More Effective in Preventing Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Progression Based on Network Meta-Analysis?by Pei Luo on May 3, 2024
CONCLUSION: The most effective treatment for reducing the number of colorectal polyps is celecoxib 16 mg/kg/day. On the other hand, a daily dosage of 2 g EPA-FFA demonstrates the best results in terms of decreasing colorectal polyp diameter.
