ABSTRACT Background Minimally invasive left pancreatectomy (MILP) has become the preferred approach to treat lesions of the pancreatic body and tail. However, the procedure may require conversion to open surgery, with reported conversion rates varying widely in the literature. Th...

Expanding CIRdb, a comprehensive catalog of whole-exome sequencing data of Canary Islanders.

) gene, which is associated with body mass index, cardiovascular health, and metabolic and respiratory traits. Taken together, our findings show that CIRdb presents a valuable resource of exome-wide genetic variation in a population at the edge of Southwestern European genetic di...

Sex differences in epidemiology and clinical presentation of glomerular diseases in a nationwide Spanish biopsy registry

Sex differences influence the epidemiology and clinical expression of kidney diseases. Most primary glomerulonephritis shows male predominance, whereas lupus nephritis remains strongly female-biased. Large national cohorts with sex-stratified analyses are limited. We analysed all...

Burden, perception of stigma, and gender differences among informal care partners of individuals with mild cognitive impairment

Background Caring for individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is increasingly recognized as a significant clinical challenge. However, the latent burden, driven by perceived stigma and gender-specific vulnerabilities, remains poorly characterized during these early stage...
