Background: Pituitary adenomas are relatively common benign intracranial tumors that may cause significant hormonal imbalances and visual impairments. Radiotherapy (RT) remains an important treatment option, particularly for patients with residual tumor after surgery, recurrent disease, or ongoing hormonal hypersecretion. This study summarizes long-term clinical outcomes and radiation-associated toxicities in patients with pituitary adenomas treated with contemporary radiotherapy techniques at a single institution.

Purpose: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine-metabolic disorder affecting about 10% of reproductive-age women. Characterized by hyperandrogenism and ovulatory dysfunction, PCOS often involves metabolic features due to insulin resistance. Traditional treatment with combined oral contraceptive pills (COCP) effectively manages hyperandrogenism and menstrual irregularities.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) continue to pose major risks to pediatric and neonatal patients, whose immature immune systems and unique vulnerabilities demand tailored infection prevention strategies. Traditional methods, including chemical disinfectants, procedural protocols, and physical hygiene measures, have contributed to reductions in HAIs but remain limited by human error, environmental toxicity, and the rise of antimicrobial resistance. Advances in disinfection technologies, particularly ultraviolet-C (UV-C) systems, offer promising new avenues for safer, more effective pathogen control.

Telehealth is increasingly a standard and routine clinical option, indicating a changing outlook for SUD treatment from in-person to the more convenient option of telehealth. As populations across geographies increasingly prefer telehealth, more research is warranted that focuses on how where a person lives is associated with telehealth availability. The authors used the Mental Health and Addiction Treatment Tracking Repository (MATTR 2024) to identify telehealth availability among all known licensed SUD treatment facilities in the USA (N = 10,492 facilities).

Decades of antibiotic misuse have spurred an antimicrobial resistance crisis, creating an urgent demand for alternative treatment options. Although phototherapy has therapeutic potential, the efficacy of the most advanced photosensitizers (PS) is essentially limited by aggregation-induced quenching, which significantly reduces their therapeutic effect. To address these challenges, we developed a cationic metallocovalent organic framework (CRuP-COF) via a solvent-mediated dual-reaction synthesis strategy.
