Pompe disease is a glycogen storage disorder caused by mutations in the acid α-glucosidase (GAA) gene, leading to reduced GAA activity and glycogen accumulation in heart and skeletal muscles. Enzyme replacement therapy with recombinant GAA, the standard of care for Pompe disease, is limited by poor skeletal muscle distribution and immune responses after repeated administrations. The expression of GAA in muscle with adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors has shown limitations, mainly the low targeting efficiency and immune responses to the transgene.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a rising health issue linked to poor diet and gut microbiota dysbiosis. The Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet, high in polyphenols and anti-inflammatory nutrients, may help protect against MASLD. This study examined how adherence to the MIND diet relates to MASLD severity, focusing on hepatic steatosis, fibrosis, insulin resistance, inflammation, and gut microbiota diversity.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly reshaping cosmetic surgery by enhancing surgical planning, predicting outcomes, and enabling objective aesthetic assessment. Through narrative synthesis of existing literature and case studies, this perspective paper explores the issue of algorithmic bias in AI-powered aesthetic technologies and presents a framework for culturally sensitive application within cosmetic surgery practices in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Existing AI systems are predominantly trained on datasets that underrepresent MENA phenotypes, resulting in aesthetic recommendations that disproportionately reflect Western beauty ideals.
