The Neurological Impact of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery: A Systematic Review of Post-Operative Neuropathic and Non-Neuropathic Complications.

Metabolic and bariatric surgery achieves durable weight loss and meaningful improvement in obesity-related comorbidities yet carries a risk of neurological complications that remains under-recognised in routine clinical practice. This systematic review, registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024591611) and conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines, searched MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, CINAHL and Cochrane databases through September 2023 to evaluate the incidence, spectrum, timing, pathophysiology and management of post-operative neurological complications. Twelve studies comprising over 5000 patients were included. Reported incidence ranged from 1.4% to 16%, with peripheral neuropathy the most frequent manifestation. Mononeuropathies, particularly carpal tunnel syndrome, were prominent in several cohorts, while central complications including Wernicke encephalopathy occurred less commonly but with considerably greater severity. Thiamine deficiency was the predominant aetiological factor. Onset varied from days to several years postoperatively, with early presentations typically compression-related and later ones nutritionally mediated. Outcomes were generally favourable with early intervention, though severe or delayed cases were associated with persistent neurological deficits and occasional mortality. Neurological complications after bariatric surgery are heterogeneous and largely preventable, and structured post-operative follow-up with consistent adherence to nutritional supplementation remains central to reducing long-term harm.

Assessing the Frequency of VEXAS-Related Canonical UBA1 Mutations in Myelodysplastic Syndrome Patients.

OBJECTIVES: Somatic mutations in the UBA1 gene cause VEXAS syndrome, which presents with inflammatory and hematological symptoms. Case studies show a strong overlap between VEXAS and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Recognizing VEXAS is important for differential diagnosis in patients with both inflammation and MDS, as accurate identification guides treatment. The study focuses on determining how often canonical UBA1 mutations linked to VEXAS occur in MDS patients. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with MDS were enrolled in the study, and genomic DNA was isolated from bone marrow FFPE samples. Molecular analysis was performed using a specifically designed ARMS-PCR approach. Additionally, protein-protein interaction (PPI) studies combined with bioinformatic analyses were carried out to explore potential links between UBA1 and pyroptosis. RESULTS: Among the 149 MDS patients analyzed, none exhibited high-Variant Allele Frequency (VAF) the canonical UBA1 point mutations linked to VEXAS syndrome. PPI analysis revealed a possible association between UBA1 and the NLRP3 inflammasome component. CONCLUSIONS: Expanding the sample size and using targeted NGS or ddPCR would improve mutation detection sensitivity and could reveal UBA1 canonical and non-canonical variants and more accurately estimate the frequency of VEXAS-related mutations in the MDS population.

A profile of abandoned fetal and neonatal remains admitted to the Diepkloof forensic pathology service medico-legal mortuary during the COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 periods.

The abandonment of neonates is a global concern, with a higher prevalence of cases present in South Africa. This study aimed to review cases admitted to the Diepkloof Forensic Pathology Service during the COVID-19 (2020-2021) and post-COVID-19 (2023) periods. A total of 158 cases were analysed to determine prevalence, demographic characteristics, circumstances and causes of death, with a comparative analysis between the COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 periods. Most cases were classified as natural. However, many were undetermined due to decomposition. Non-viable fetuses (< 26 wk gestation) comprised 47% of the cases. Among the viable births (n = 72), 23 (32%) were classified as stillbirths, while 11 (15%) were live births. A minority of cases were deemed unnatural, with deaths attributed to trauma (8 cases) or abandonment (2 cases). No statistically significant difference was found between the COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 periods. Decedents were most often found in open spaces, roads or streets, or dumping sites, most commonly wrapped in plastic materials. These findings highlight the severity of fetal and neonatal abandonment. They underscore a pressing need for targeted preventative measures, community outreach, and enhanced support systems in maternal healthcare to address this growing concern.

Comparison of conventional and micro-surgical techniques for gingival recession using collagen matrix: Randomised controlled split-mouth clinical trial.

BACKGROUND: The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the microsurgical approach in treating gingival recession with collagen matrix by comparing it with Conventional surgery in terms of clinical and patient-centered outcomes. METHODS: A total of 29 patients with bilateral gingival recession in the maxillary canine and/or premolar region were selected. After randomisation, bilateral recession sites were grouped into the test group (Microsurgery under 3.5 X magnification) and the control group (Conventional surgery). All the clinical and patient-reported parameters were recorded at baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months. RESULTS: Both groups showed statistically significant differences in terms of reduction in gingival recession height (GRH), gingival recession width (GRW), clinical attachment level gain (CAL gain), increase in keratinized tissue thickness (KTT) and keratinized tissue width (KTW) after 6 months. But intergroup comparison showed no significant difference in terms of clinical parameters. The only significant difference was noted in terms of patient-centred parameters (Patient satisfactory score, Hypersensitivity score, Root aesthetic scores), which favoured the microsurgical group. CONCLUSIONS: Both groups demonstrated comparable clinical improvement; However, Patient-centred parameters were significantly better with the Microsurgical approach. Selection of the surgical approach should balance patient needs with practical considerations like cost, time, and clinician proficiency.

ER proteostasis failure in HYOU1 deficiency alters B cells, neutrophils, and interferon signalling.

Hypoxia upregulated 1 (HYOU1) is a stress-inducible ER chaperone. We investigated 2 unrelated patients carrying biallelic HYOU1 variants and presenting with primary immunodeficiency. Patient 1, homozygous for p.Pro444His, displayed failure to thrive, hypoglycemia, B cell lymphopenia, and neutropenia. Patient 2, compound heterozygous for p.Arg262Gln and p.Pro757_Glu758insAla, exhibited recurrent infections, enteropathy, and hypogammaglobulinemia. In Patient 1, while HYOU1 transcription was preserved, the protein was severely reduced. Tunicamycin treatment of dermal fibroblasts showed a blunted unfolded protein response and defective induction of ER stress-responsive genes. Immunophenotyping showed near-absence of circulating B cells, and single-cell RNA sequencing of bone marrow identified an arrest at the pro-B cell stage. Neutrophils displayed hypogranulation and dysregulated IFN- and apoptosis-associated transcriptional signatures, unresponsive to G-CSF. HYOU1 deficiency hence results in ER stress-induced proteostasis failure that simultaneously impairs adaptive immunity through B cell developmental arrest and innate immunity through neutrophil dysfunction and IFN pathway imbalance. This work expands the spectrum of HYOU1 deficiency and further identifies ER proteostasis as a central determinant of immune homeostasis.

CNOT1 is a potential YTHDF2 target that orchestrates maternal mRNA decay and zygotic genome activation during goat embryogenesis.

Timely and efficient degradation of maternal mRNA is essential for early embryonic development, which occurs from fertilization through the initiation of zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Yet, the regulatory mechanisms governing this process remain poorly characterized. In the present study, we investigated the function of CCR4-NOT transcription complex subunit 1 (CNOT1) during goat embryogenesis. We found that CNOT1 was upregulated during mammalian ZGA, and that its knockdown led to developmental arrest and a marked reduction in blastocyst formation. Moreover, CNOT1 knockdown impaired nascent RNA activity, resulting in 814 upregulated and 1014 downregulated genes, which were enriched for RNA splicing, regulation of chromosome organization, and RNA localization. RNA splicing analysis revealed differential splicing events in 2959 genes, of which 259 were downregulated following CNOT1 knockdown. Notably, CNOT1 was predicted to crosstalk with the m6A reader YTHDF2. Knockdown of YTHDF2 resulted in CNOT1 downregulation at the 8-cell stage in goats and increased transcription levels around polyadenylation sites during ZGA in mice. Together, these findings indicate that CNOT1 is a potential YTHDF2 target that orchestrates maternal mRNA decay and ZGA during goat embryogenesis. Our work provides new insight into the complex regulatory landscape underlying ZGA and may inform strategies to improve the efficiency of goat embryogenesis.

Formation of environmental persistent free radicals in soil of ammunition demolition site: Roles of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and heavy metals.

Environmental Persistent Free Radicals (EPFRs) are a particular type of contaminant present in soil. This study investigated the formation process, environmental behavior, and main influencing variables of EPFRs in soils contaminated with heavy metals and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) from an ammunition demolition site. The results showed that the concentration of total organic carbon (TOC) in the soil was negatively correlated with EPFRs (r = -0.29). In contrast, the content of TNT and copper was significantly positively correlated with EPFRs (r = 0.90 and 0.78, respectively), indicating that TNT acts as a precursor macromolecule in the formation of EPFRs in this type of contaminated soil. Transition metal Cu may be an essential carrier in EPFR production. In order to explore the possible formation mechanism of EPFRs, a simulation experiment was carried out under different temperature and light conditions. The results showed that the photolysis process of TNT was impacted by external energy sources such as heat and light. TNT was firstly adsorbed onto the surface of a transition metal (Cu), and then EPFRs were formed through further electron transfer. This is the first study to detect significant levels of EPFRs in the soil at ammunition demolition sites.

Identifying and Prioritizing Core Components of Relationship Education Programs: a Case Study of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Assisted Systematic Review.

The field of prevention science seeks to identify and implement effective strategies to address social, emotional, and health challenges. A critical aspect of this endeavor is determining the core components of prevention programs that drive positive outcomes. This article presents a case study utilizing artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted systematic review methods to identify key components of healthy marriage and relationship education programs. Given the growing body of research in this domain, AI tools offer a promising means to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of literature reviews. This study employed AI to screen, code, and validate research articles, demonstrating its effectiveness in expediting systematic reviews while maintaining high accuracy in inclusion screening. This case study involved a systematic review of 22,028 resources (identified from PsycINFO, Academic Search Ultimate, and Google) and a final data set of 268 relevant studies. AI screening was integral in effectively conducting multiple rounds of screening. However, findings also highlight challenges in AI-assisted qualitative data abstraction, underscoring the continued need for human expertise in complex coding tasks. The study contributes to the ongoing discourse on integrating AI into prevention science methodologies and offers insights for optimizing AI applications in systematic reviews.

Long-term glycemic variability and risk of peripheral artery disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies.

BACKGROUND: A systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of long-term glucose variability (GV) on the risk of developing peripheral artery disease (PAD). METHODS: The protocol was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (ID: CRD420251148763). Relevant longitudinal studies were identified through comprehensive searches of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. The primary outcome was the risk ratio (RR) of PAD comparing participants with high versus low GV. Summary effect sizes were calculated using a random-effects model to account for between-study heterogeneity. RESULTS: Eleven cohorts were included. Higher GV showed a positive association with PAD risk (RR: 1.42; 95% CI [1.21-1.66] p < 0.001), although substantial heterogeneity was present (I 2 = 91%). This association was consistent across subgroups defined by region (Asian vs. Western), study design, diabetic status, GV metrics, PAD diagnostic methods, and adjustment for HbA1c (all p for subgroup differences > 0.05), except for follow-up duration. Studies with follow-up < 8 years showed a stronger association than those with ≥ 8 years (RR: 1.64 vs. 1.19; p for subgroup difference = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS: Elevated long-term GV appears to be associated with an increased risk of PAD. However, substantial heterogeneity across studies suggests that the magnitude of this association should be interpreted with caution.

Understanding FDA's reasons for nonapproval: A systematic review of complete response letters in cell and gene therapy.

BACKGROUND AIMS: Cell and gene therapy products face unique regulatory challenges due to their biological complexity and the stringent expectations for manufacturing control, analytical testing, and clinical assessment. As the pipeline grows, understanding the drivers of FDA non‑approval is increasingly important for improving first‑cycle success and reducing development delays. In this study, we aimed to characterize the frequency and impact of refuse‑to‑file actions, major amendments, and complete response letters issued for biologics licensing applications; and to identify recurring patterns of deficiencies contributing to delayed approval. METHODS: Publicly available documents were extracted from the FDA website. Data from each approved cell and gene therapy product's regulatory history-including complete responses, major amendments, inspection timing, and cited deficiencies-were compiled and categorized across clinical, quality, and labeling domains. RESULTS: Analysis showed that informational deficiencies were common across modalities. Major amendments occurred in roughly half of applications, and complete responses had the most significant impact. Quality deficiencies appeared in all complete responses and were the predominant barrier, while clinical and labeling issues were less frequent but meaningful when present. CONCLUSION: Overall, these findings highlight the need for proactive FDA engagement, comprehensive readiness, and early inspection preparation to reduce regulatory risk and improve first cycle approval outcomes.

Three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxyapatite@gelatin composite as efficient adsorbent for uranyl ion removal from low-level radioactive wastewater.

The contamination of water resources by uranyl (UO22+) ions poses significant environmental and health risks, requiring the development of efficient and sustainable remediation strategies. Adsorption-based techniques have emerged as promising approaches in the field of UO22+ removal, but the design of cost-effective, high-capacity, and environmentally friendly adsorbents remains challenging. In this study, a three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxyapatite@gelatin (nHAP@Ge) composite was synthesized through glutaraldehyde cross-linking, combining the structural stability of Ge with the high uranium affinity of nHAP. The optimized nHAP@Ge, with a nHAP:Ge mass ratio of 1:0.5, exhibited exceptional UO22+ removal efficiency (97 %), along with high adsorption capacity (364.03 mg/g). Systematic characterizations using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods revealed that the porous structure and surface functional groups (-OH, Ca2+, and PO43-) of the material synergistically contributed to binding UO22+ species. Furthermore, the incorporation of nHAP into the Ge framework resulted in enhanced thermal stability while significantly improving the UO22+ adsorption performance. This work presents a scalable, eco-friendly, and recyclable strategy for the effective treatment of uranium-contaminated water, with potential applications in nuclear wastewater treatment and environmental remediation.

How is goal setting used in interventions for chronic disease prevention and management in sub-Saharan Africa? A systematic review and narrative synthesis.

Non-communicable diseases are increasingly prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, and goal setting is often used to promote healthy self-management behaviours. In this review, we aimed to synthesise literature around how goal setting is used, for application in future interventions in the region. A systematic search was conducted in six databases and results screened for eligibility. Study characteristics, intervention details, goal setting components, feedback from participants and facilitators were extracted. Data were analysed using narrative synthesis and thematic analysis. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool was used to assess study quality. We included 24 publications describing 18 unique interventions. Included studies were of high to moderate methodological quality. Goal setting intervention components were informed by a variety of frameworks and involved a range of tasks. Interventions were often facilitator-led; many were conducted in group settings. Participants reported goal setting as useful for putting self-management into practice but encountered challenges related to language and literacy levels. Adequate detail on goal setting intervention components was not always present. Through this review, we provide a comprehensive picture of the variability of goal setting approaches in chronic disease prevention and management in sub-Saharan Africa and recommend more standardised use and reporting of goal setting intervention components.

Biallelic Variants in ATP1A4 Are Associated with Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia and Male Infertility.

Male infertility, often caused by structural and functional sperm defects, remains genetically unexplained in a substantial proportion of cases. ATP1A4 encodes a testis-specific isoform of the Na+, K+-ATPase, a membrane enzyme crucial for maintaining cellular ionic homeostasis. Previous studies on Atp1a4 knockout mice have demonstrated severe defects in sperm motility and flagellar architecture; however, the contribution of ATP1A4 variants to human male reproduction remains to be elucidated. In this study, we identified compound biallelic variants in ATP1A4, a missense variant (c.2578 T>A, p.Tyr860Asn) and a frameshift variant (c.2582del, p.Gly861Aspfs*5), in a patient presenting with severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia. Both variants markedly affected ATP1A4 protein expression. Morphological analyses revealed coiled and folded flagella, disrupted mitochondrial sheaths, and irregular head morphology in the patient's spermatozoa. Expression profiling revealed that ATP1A4 was highly enriched in post-meiotic spermatids and localized along the entire flagellum of mature sperm in both humans and mice, indicating a critical role in flagellar assembly and structural integrity. Notably, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in this patient resulted in low fertilization efficiency and failed implantation, suggesting a potential adverse impact of ATP1A4 deficiency on sperm functional competence beyond motility. These findings broaden the genetic spectrum of oligoasthenoteratozoospermia and highlight ATP1A4 as a potential gene associated with human male infertility.

Targeted variant analysis of feline mediastinal lymphoma using MassARRAY and clinical associations.

Lymphoma is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in cats. This study used the Agena MassARRAY to genotype 40 variants across 17 genes in feline mediastinal lymphoma. These variants have previously been identified in tumors, including T- and B-cell lymphomas, acute and chronic lymphocytic leukemias, and mast cell tumors, in humans, dogs, and cats, using various methods. They were selected based on high prevalence reported in prior oncology studies, potential relevance to targeted therapy, and suitability for multiplex PCR amplification. Pleural fluid samples were collected from 76 cats with mediastinal lymphoma, including 69 domestic shorthairs, two Persians, two Siamese, two Wichienmaat, and one Scottish Fold. The most prevalent variants were found in the BCL2, KIT, STAT3, and ZEB1 genes. Specifically, BCL2 c.83275986G > A and c.83275992G > T were present in 71.1% and 57.9%, respectively. In cats with variant-positive in KIT c.163965724C > CT significantly reduced (11 days) compared to wild-type cats (94 days) (p < 0.001). In cats with variant-positive in STAT3 c.42942437C > CA, resulted in shorter median survival compared to wild-type cats (18 days vs. 77 days, p = 0.006). The findings suggest that the variant panel could be useful for the genomic landscape of feline mediastinal lymphoma and warrant further validation.

Comparative genomics and full-length transcriptome profiling of wing morphs in Tetrix grossus (Orthoptera: Tetrigidae).

Wing polymorphism represents a paradigmatic dispersal-reproduction trade-off, yet its molecular basis remains uncharacterised in the phylogenetically distant pygmy grasshoppers (Tetrigidae). Here we integrate comparative genomics across ten orthopteran species with full-length transcriptomics of long-winged (FL) and short-winged (FS) Tetrix grossus. OrthoFinder recovered 118 orthogroups specific to T. grossus. Against a backdrop of pronounced gene-family contraction (36 expansions versus 222 contractions; net -186, mirrored at the ancestral Tetrix node, +37/-140), we identified an ancestral, Tetrix-specific expansion of hormone-regulation (12 genes; fold enrichment 7.93) and lipid/carbohydrate-metabolic families organised into syntenic clusters, alongside 513 positively selected genes enriched for integrin-mediated cell adhesion (6 genes), a process relevant to epithelial and appendage morphogenesis. Full-length transcriptomics of one long-winged (FL) and one short-winged (FS) adult female detected 7530 (FL) and 7515 (FS) expressed genes, with 794 FL- and 776 FS-restricted transcriptome-derived SNP-associated genes. The FL morph was enriched for an EGFR/Ras-Rho developmental-patterning axis and neuromuscular flight genes, whereas the FS morph was enriched for insulin/peptide-hormone response and growth-regulatory loci. Overall, we present genomic resources and testable hypotheses concerning the evolution and regulation of wing morphs in Tetrigidae rather than a validated genetic architecture of wing-morph determination.

Innovations in microbial physical mutagenesis for food fermentation: An overview from traditional to emerging technologies.

Microbial strains serve as an important factor affecting fermentation efficiency and product quality. To obtain superior strains, mutation breeding is a classic strategy. Compared to chemical mutagenesis, physical mutagenesis directly induces genomic changes, providing notable advantages such as the elimination of chemical residues and environmental sustainability, hence rendering it a favored method for enhancing food-grade microorganisms. Conventional physical mutagenesis mostly depends on UV, rays, high pressure, or space radiation. As physical technologies advance, emerging methods such as ion implantation, plasma, microwave, ultrasound, and pulsed light are widely utilized for genetic modification. Mutagenesis technologies are progressively transitioning from single-effect to multi-effect synergy. Recent evaluations indicate that emerging technologies can enhance microbial mutation efficiency at the application level relative to established technologies. Nonetheless, the systematic clarification and comparative analysis at the mechanistic level remain inadequate, hindering intuitive comprehension of the qualities and distinctions across techniques. Furthermore, physical mutagenesis encounters several significant obstacles, such as cellular damage, limited rates of advantageous mutations, and laborious screening processes. This review carefully elucidates the mechanisms and properties of physical mutagenesis technology and delineates the distinctions among approaches through comparative analysis. Simultaneously, solutions for optimizing mutagenesis are presented to tackle the principal challenges mentioned above. This review aims to offer a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for the enhanced application of physical mutagenesis technologies in microbial breeding.

Genital surgery in children with differences of sex development (DSD): Strengths and concerns across diverging regulations in four European countries.

Differences of Sex Development (DSD) is a collective term for a heterogeneous group of rare congenital conditions characterized by atypical genetic, gonadal, or genital sexual development. The treatment of children with DSD, particularly the indications for and timing of surgical interventions, has been the subject of debate for decades. In recent years, social developments emphasizing children's rights to self-determination and bodily integrity, along with increasing societal acceptance of atypical sex characteristics, have encouraged a more cautious approach toward early genital surgery in children with DSD. In 2019, the European Parliament adopted a resolution urging Member States to enact legislation prohibiting elective genital surgical interventions on intersex infants and children. Since then, several countries have indeed implemented restrictive measures, including legal bans on early surgical procedures. In this paper, we share the experiences and insights gained in recent years as pediatric urologists working in four neighboring countries in multidisciplinary university centers specializing in DSD care and research. We focus on current approaches to the care of children with DSD, the evolution of relevant national policies over time, and the nature and impact of recently introduced restrictive regulations on early surgical interventions. By presenting perspectives from pediatric urologists across these four countries, we aim to contribute to ongoing discussions on the alignment and refinement of surgical treatment practices for children with DSD.

Parallel evolutionary trajectories rewire enteropathogenic Escherichia coli adhesion to restore host attachment.

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) causes disease in children, presenting as chronic diarrhea that can impair physical and cognitive development. The attachment of typical EPEC (tEPEC) to the gut epithelium via bundle-forming pili (BFP) is a key factor in its virulence. Yet, infections by atypical EPEC (aEPEC), which lack BFP, have become increasingly common. To investigate how aEPEC recover host-attachment in the absence of BFP, we performed experimental evolution using a non-adherent E. coli, constructed to mimic the ancestor of aEPEC, and selected adherent progeny. Highly adherent variants evolved through phase-variable activation of type I fimbriae (T1F), followed by two alternative trajectories: bacterial filamentation, which increases T1F avidity, or point mutations in the T1F adhesin FimH that enhance ligand affinity. Extending our analysis to the genomes of 327 aEPEC strains isolated from infected patients revealed that similar FimH mutations are common. We further demonstrated experimentally that these naturally occurring variants often increase epithelial-attachment. Our findings implicate T1F in aEPEC pathogenesis and suggest it may be clinically relevant for anti-adhesion therapy. More broadly, these results indicate that impaired host-attachment can be rapidly compensated by upregulating and optimizing an alternative adhesin, and that combining experimental evolution with comparative genomics can reveal evolutionary trajectories occurring in nature.
