The study aims to characterize the secretion dynamics of glucagon-related peptides, including GLP-1, GIP, and GLP-2, across different stages of metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), while evaluating the impact of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on these hormonal responses. Thirty-four MASLD subjects were stratified according with the liver transient elastography (TE ≥ 9 kPa) and T2D in NF (no fibrosis, without T2D; n = 1...

The present study aimed to comprehensively characterize the cancer-associated virome in patients with gastric cancer. A total of 452 samples were analyzed, including 226 tumor tissues and 202 peritumoral tissues from patients undergoing surgical resection, alongside 24 normal gastric mucosa samples obtained via endoscopy from individuals without cancer. RNA was extracted, libraries were prepared, and paired-end sequencing was...

Background Cellulitis is a common cause of hospital admission, yet the clinical relevance and predictors of bacteremia remain incompletely characterized. Identifying patients at risk of bloodstream infection may help optimize diagnostic strategies and clinical management. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study at a tertiary-care hospital including all consecutive patients hospitalized with cellulitis between...

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (N-ZnO) represent a promising alternative for zinc (Zn) supplementation, since their reduced size provides greater bioavailability and better integration into the body. Furthermore, this characteristic becomes particularly relevant during periods of increased metabolic stress, such as the transition phase. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the effects of N-ZnO supplementation in Santa Inês sheep duri...

Purpose This study investigated the correlation between growth disorders and indirect pesticide exposure in children of farmers. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 134 children of farmers occupationally exposed to organophosphate pesticides in the ejido Venustiano Carranza, an agricultural community in San Quintín, Baja California, Mexico. These children were compared with a control group of 56 unexposed childr...

In many parts of the world, natural resources are primarily managed by governance arrangements at the local level. Those arrangements range from collective, such as cooperatives and associations, to individualistic, such as patrons and owner‐operators. A key question is how such arrangements influence resource use and associated social and ecological outcomes. We hypothesize that sustainable resource use is not associated with...

Panniculitis is a rare condition in ferrets ( Mustela putorius furo ), previously linked to nutritional deficiencies, infections, trauma, and injections. Pancreatic panniculitis, caused by the systemic release of pancreatic enzymes during pancreatic injury, has been documented in humans and other animal species, but not in ferrets. This report describes the first known case in a domestic ferret. A 2-year-old male ferret presen...
