Gastroenterologists are often the first to encounter patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. While MASLD can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality in this population. This heightened risk is largely driven by the strong association between MASLD and CVD risk factors, including type 2 diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. Therefore, addressing metabolic health is a fundamental component of MASLD management. Gastroenterologists play a key role in identifying metabolic risk factors, recommending lifestyle, and pharmacologic interventions, in consultation with specialists or multidisciplinary care teams when appropriate. This review provides a practical framework for integrating metabolic health optimization into routine MASLD care, equipping gastroenterologists with the necessary tools to improve both liver-related and overall patient outcomes.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with neuro-immune - metabolic - oxidative (NIMETOX) pathways.
Aims: To examine the connections among NIMETOX pathways in outpatient MDD (OMDD) with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS); and to determine the prevalence of NIMETOX aberrations in a cohort of OMDD patients.
Methods: We included 67 healthy controls and 66 OMDD patients and we assessed various NIMETOX pathways.

Aims: We investigated the independent association between dietary vitamin E intake among individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a representative sample of the USA.
Methods: We used the 2007-2014 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey with mortality follow-up through 2019 (median: 8.6 years).

Study Question: Does weight loss from a hypocaloric dietary intervention improve antral follicle dynamics in women with PCOS?
Summary Answer: During a 3-month hypocaloric dietary intervention, women with PCOS who experienced clinically meaningful weight loss showed more organized antral follicle development including fewer recruitment events, but no change in the overall frequency of selection, dominance, or ovulation.
What Is Known Already: There is a spectrum of disordered antral follicle development in women with PCOS including excessive follicle recruitment and turnover, decreased frequency of selection and dominance, and failure of ovulation. Lifestyle intervention aimed at weight loss is recommended to improve metabolic health in women with PCOS yet benefits on ovarian follicle development and ovulation are unclear.

Background And Objectives: The relationship between insomnia and cognitive decline is poorly understood. We investigated associations between chronic insomnia, longitudinal cognitive outcomes, and brain health in older adults.
Methods: From the population-based Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, we identified cognitively unimpaired older adults with or without a diagnosis of chronic insomnia who underwent annual neuropsychological assessments (z-scored global cognitive scores and cognitive status) and had quantified serial imaging outcomes (amyloid-PET burden [centiloid] and white matter hyperintensities from MRI [WMH, % of intracranial volume]).

Objectives: Complement factor I (CFI) deficiency is a rare condition that can present with fulminant relapsing CNS autoinflammation. In this report, we highlight the utility of genetic testing in unexplained CNS autoinflammation.
Methods: This case report describes a young adult with partial CFI deficiency, presenting with acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis.
