Article Abstract

Six Brazilian families with mild familial hyperglycaemia have been screened for glucokinase (GCK) mutations. All had mutations that co-segregated with the phenotype. One of the mutations, the deletion 96_98delAAG (p.Lys32del), had not been previously described, reinforcing the worldwide prevalence of GCK MODY and widespread existence of undetected new mutations.

Guidelines for external radiotherapy and brachytherapy procedures: 4th edition.

Cancer Radiother

September 2025

Department of Radiation Oncology, Institut de cancérologie de l'Ouest, Saint-Herblain, France.

The purpose of the first three editions of the guidelines for external radiotherapy procedures (RecoRad™, published in 2008, 2016 and 2021 respectively), was to issue recommendations aimed at optimising, harmonising and standardising practices. The purpose of this fourth edition, follow the same plan and takes into account recent technological improvements along with findings from literature. Part one describes the daily use of general principles; part two describes every step of the process treatment for the main types of cancer.

Overweight and obesity represent common chronic metabolic disorders in the general population, and observed trends describe a substantial growth in the prevalence of weight excess also among individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the so-called 'lean phenotype' of diabetes. The sharp rise of weight excess and obesity-related cardio-nephron-metabolic burdens observed in T2D is expected to produce similar consequences in T1D, leading to the urgent need to endorse therapeutic protocols as in most parts of the World no adjunctive treatments are approved for T1D, making weight excess management challenging in these individuals. The notable results shown by newer glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and emerging dual agonists, especially while managing cardio-metabolic burdens, in T2D have encouraged fervent anecdotal and non-anecdotal research also in T1D, indicating that non-insulin injective agents can be effective and safe.

Genetic Entanglement Enables Ultrastable Biocontainment in the Mammalian Gut.

ACS Synth Biol

September 2025

Department of Biochemistry, Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, Western University, London, Ontario N6A 5C1, Canada.

Imbalances in the mammalian gut are associated with acute and chronic conditions, and using engineered probiotic strains to deliver synthetic constructs to treat them is a promising strategy. However, high rates of mutational escape and genetic instability limit the effectiveness of biocontainment circuits needed for safe and effective use. Here, we describe STALEMATE (equence enngd ulti lyered geneic buffring), a dual-layered failsafe biocontainment strategy that entangles genetic sequences to create pseudoessentiality and buffer against mutations.

Background: Robotic single-port transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RSP-vNOTES) is an emerging minimally invasive approach that combines the advantages of robotic surgery with scarless transvaginal access. Its application in gynecologic oncology remains limited, particularly for omentectomy during ovarian cancer staging.

Methods: We present the case of a 45-year-old woman with an ovarian granulosa cell tumor (GCT) who underwent supplemental staging surgery following unilateral oophorectomy.

The behavior of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) released from tire road wear particles (TRWPs) in human digestive fluids may pose a significant risk to human health. However, the current understanding of the release pattern and influencing factors of PAHs from TRWPs is still insufficient. In this study, the release characteristics of PAHs from UV-aging TRWPs (ATRWPs) were systematically investigated by in vitro digestive simulation experiments, release kinetic model fitting and control variable experiments.
