"Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), recently renamed NAFLD to metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), is a widespread disease of high socio-economic importance and is not always amenable to therapy. Recent data show that gut microbiota plays an important role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. The authors presented a well-structured overview based on current understanding on this actual problem. In particular, NAFLD is accompanied by a change in the gut microbiota composition the proportion of taxa deconjugating bile acids increases, while the proportion of taxa converting primary bile acids to secondary ones decreases. The number of bacteria forming lipopolysaccharide also increases. Lipopolysaccharide, entering the liver with the portal vein blood, promotes the development of its inflammation and insulin resistance. The disturbance of bile acids metabolism through the effect on the FXR and TGR5 receptors also leads to insulin resistance and liver steatosis. Indeed, targeted microbiota manipulation through dietary interventions, probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation represents a promising strategy for NAFLD treatment.

"As regard ethics: The IRB is only from porta said university while sherbin central hospital is one of the units of National committee of control of viral hepatitis so all the data is belong to the national committee and need separate IRB what the time of this study it is stated that it is prospective while those patients receive treatment since the national program since 2017 and the center is closed since 4 years or more so it is actually retrospective study on stored samples????? Rational of the study:The SVR for DAAs even in cirrhotic HCV patients were 97% so research for predicting response as regard cost benefit at national program because the cost of generic drug cost about 10 dolars while these markers cost may exceed 1000 dollar's it is non practical for its use except from the research aspect. Methods: the inclusion criteria for the patients is not mentioned :if it is naïve cirrhotic or experienced cirrhotic what the duration of treatment for each group. - The method include major mistakes as the National protocol undergo PCR HCV at the start of treatment , at the end for treatment to define responder from non responders and after 6 month to define relapse from sustained virological response (SVR) so the definition of non responders in this study is not correct . the correct expression is SVR and relapsers so theses markers predict SVR not response to treatment" [Collapse]

"This review explores whether robotic-assisted lymphadenectomy provides measurable advantages over laparoscopic approaches in the treatment of gastric cancer. While robotic gastrectomy appears to offer comparable oncologic outcomes in terms of lymph node retrieval and survival rates, it may confer technical benefits such as reduced blood loss, lower pancreatic fistula rates, and more precise dissection—particularly in challenging cases following neoadjuvant therapy or involving suprapancreatic nodes. However, robust evidence remains limited, and further randomized controlled trials—especially in Western populations with varied surgical expertise—are warranted to validate these findings."

"Gastroparesis is a severe diabetic complication caused by progressively worsening intestinal neuropathy. Early detection is achieved through laboratory testing for delayed gastric emptying, mainly through annual real-time ultrasound. If the manometric study detects pyloric spasm, this should be treated endoscopically. If gastroparesis is detected by electrogastrographic body surface gastric mapping, it is treated with prokinetic drugs and careful management of diabetes mellitus. Early detection of the disease through blood or stool markers is not yet possible. Currently, the annual screening of patients who meet the criteria for potential disease appearance is the only way to achieve a successful and timely diagnosis. In cases of normal results, high-resolution intrapyloric-duodenal manometry or the EndoFLIP device should be used to check for pyloric spasm. Appropriate dietary interventions, prokinetic drugs, and blood sugar regulation follow this. However, both the diagnosis and treatment of the condition are not easy. The gastroenterologist should be well-informed about the diagnostic methodology and therapeutic interventions. Nevertheless, the future looks promising for emerging therapies aiming to treat the condition etiologically." [Collapse]

(4) This work validated SOX11's association with FLT3-ITD mutations and FAB-M2 subtype in AML, proposing its potential as a stratification marker for high-risk patients. However, functional experiments (e.g., CRISPR knockout/overexpression) are required to verify SOX11's oncogenicity and synergistic effects with FLT3-ITD in AML pathogenesis .

"The ethical approval meets requirements. The study obtained approval (CE24431B) from Taichung Veterans General Hospital. The methods are effective and can be repeated by fellow researchers. They conducted a robust retrospective cohort using the TriNetX database, which harmonizes EHR data across 80 U.S. healthcare organizations. Besides, the inclusion and exclusion criteria are clear. The results of this study are authentic, reliable and validate the initial hypothesis. The tables, graphs, and figures were constructed and annotated well. But one mistake was presented in Table 3. Gestational hypertension HR typo ("HR: 1.936(1.844,0.033)" – "0.033" likely should be "2.033"). The biostatistics data was generally right. However, more details of PSM and some sensitivity analyses (e.g., competing risks for mortality) are suggested to be added. Authors have cited key references to support the pathophysiological mechanisms and prior epidemiological relationship, as well as some recent references. I suggest adding recent reviews on PIH-related metabolic dysfunction. The language is generally clear, concise, and logically structed." [Collapse]
