Adrenal Infections: An Underrecognized Cause of Primary Adrenal Insufficiency

INTRODUCTION: Adrenal infections are an underrecognized but clinically significant cause of primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI). OBJECTIVES: This review proposes a diagnostic algorithm for the evaluation of suspected cases. RESULTS: The most common causative pathogens are Mycobac...

Cold Snare Polypectomy Versus Cold Snare Polypectomy With Submucosal Injection for 3–9 mm Colorectal Polyps: A Randomized Controlled Trial

ABSTRACT Background and Aim Incomplete resection after cold snare polypectomy (CSP) remains a concern. CSP may sometimes require a forcible pull (“forced CSP”), which increases the incomplete resection rate (IRR). Submucosal injection before CSP (SI‐CSP) may facilitate resection...

Characteristics and associated risk factors of opportunistic infection in children with systemic lupus erythematosus in under-resourced areas

Objective Infection is a major factor in morbidity and mortality among pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, particularly opportunistic infections (OI), which can result in severe clinical outcomes. There is a scarcity of data regarding OI in children with SLE in...

Prenatal bisphenol A exposure is associated with sex-specific cerebellar transcriptomic alterations and altered motor performance in rat offspring

Abstract Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by a significant male-to-female bias and cerebellar abnormalities. Although bisphenol A (BPA) has been increasingly investigated as a potential environmental risk factor, the molecu...

Prenatal BPA exposure is associated with a sex-stratified TF–RBP–Ccar1 splicing regulatory network, purkinje cell layer alterations, and transcriptomic concordance with PTEN I135L cerebellar organoid models

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a pervasive neurodevelopmental condition characterized by social communication deficits and restricted, repetitive behaviors, exhibiting a consistent male bias in prevalence. Emerging evidence suggests that prenatal exposure to bisphenol A (BPA),...

Global in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of Mycobacterium abscessus: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Mycobacterium abscessus (MAB) exhibits extensive antimicrobial resistance, contributing to major treatment challenges and frequent therapeutic failure. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the global in vitro susceptibility of antimicrobial agents against clin...

Asian Neurogastroenterology and Motility Association and Asia-Pacific Association of Gastroenterology Chronic Constipation Consensus 2026.

Background/Aims: : Chronic constipation is a common gastrointestinal (GI) disorder in Asia, characterized by heterogeneous symptom presentation, frequent overlap with other GI symptoms, and limited access to specialized diagnostic tests in many settings. These factors contribute...

Associations of ambient temperature and PM2.5 concentration with temporal variability in emergency department visits for acute gastrointestinal illnesses in central Bangkok, Thailand: a 5-year retrospective analysis

The combined effects of temperature and air pollution on acute gastrointestinal (GI) illnesses remain underexplored in tropical settings. This study examined the association between ambient temperature, fine particulate matter (PM2.5), and emergency department (ED) visits for gas...

Single-cell morphological responses as predictors of ciprofloxacin resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii

ABSTRACT The rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) coincides with a declining pipeline of new antibiotics, underscoring the urgent need for rapid and accurate antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST). Single-cell AST approaches offer the potential to shorten diagnostic turnaround...
