Metabolic diseases, including and , pose a growing public health and economic burden worldwide. Conventional dietary guidelines often fail to address individual nutritional needs or to achieve adherence in resource-constrained settings.

This Perspective highlights an integrative framework that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and federated learning to enable culturally sensitive, privacy-preserving, and scalable dietary interventions. Building on prior simulation studies demonstrating over 80% compliance with clinical nutrition targets such as DASH and EASD guidelines, this approach supports real-time, explainable nutrition guidance through virtual nutritionist systems.

The framework aligns with clinical nutrition practices, emphasizes sustainable and localized dietary strategies, and has the potential to enhance equity by extending evidence-based nutritional support to underserved populations. Future real-world validation and long-term studies are needed to assess the public health impact of such -driven systems.

โœ…Background: Frailty is a multidimensional syndrome characterized by a reduced physiological reserve, exposing older adults to the dangerous adverse consequences of acute illness or injury. In the Emergency Department (ED), traditional assessment models often fail to detect and estimate vulnerability, leading to undertriage, delayed or inappropriate interventions, and poor outcomes.

โœ…Objective: To advocate for the systematic integration of frailty assessment in emergency medicine using the ABCDE-F framework. The addition of "Frailty" as the "F" in the emergency care patient primary survey (Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure, and ABCDE) reflects a growing consensus that frailty must be addressed as a core clinical concern in acute care.

โœ…Methods: This review synthesizes the recent literature on the impact of frailty assessment in geriatric ED patients and its implications for ethical, efficient, and patient-centered emergency care.

โœ…Results: Integrating frailty into ED workflows improves risk stratification, aligns treatment with patient goals, and reduces unnecessary admissions and intervention. The ABCDEF model offers a structured and actionable framework for emergency physicians.

โœ…Conclusion: Early recognition of frailty is crucial in acute care settings. The application of the ABCDE-F model had a significant transformative impact on emergency care for older adults. Its integration is expected to enhance the outcomes and management of geriatric patients in the emergency department.

๐Ÿ”นBackground: A variety of factors, including lifestyle choices, hormonal levels, and environmental exposure, determine the chance of developing breast cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalent risk factors for breast cancer risk factors and their correlation with demographic characteristics in Western Sudan.

๐Ÿ”นMethodology: This is a prospective descriptive using data collected from 201 Sudanese volunteers between December 15, 2024, and January 25, 2025. Participants were chosen at random, regardless of age, education level, occupation, or other demographic variables.

๐Ÿ”นResults: Approximately 14.2% of the cases have a family history of breast cancer (FBC). The majority of cases were between the ages of 21 and 29, accounting for 53.3%. Menarche occurs in approximately 15.2% of children under the age of 12 years. Approximately 75% of them were now older than 25 years. Approximately 10.2% and 29.5% reported their first complete pregnancy at ages over 25 and under 18 years, respectively. Approximately 60.6% reported non-breastfeeding, with 54.9% under the age of 25 years.

๐Ÿ”นConclusion: The majority of Sudanese women are exposed to a combination of breast cancer risk factors. Use of contraceptive pills is a risk for subsequent development of benign breast lesions. More research is needed to determine the significance of these factors in contributing to early start.

Kidney transplant is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage renal disease. It confers significantly better survival outcomes and an improved quality of life. Despite improved one-year and graft and patient survival, the long-term survival of transplant recipients remains a bleak prospect, owing in large part to cardiovascular disease, infections and malignancies.

Certain malignancies occur at higher rates in transplant recipients, negatively impacting the recipientโ€™s quality of life and, more importantly, their survival. While the development of these cancers involves multiple contributing factors, the majority are linked to oncogenic viruses. Chronic immunosuppression is also instrumental in the increased risk of post-transplantation malignancies โ€“ this double-edged sword causes impaired T-cell function, immunosurveillance, and control of oncogenic viruses.

This review examines the multifactorial pathogenesis, which involves impaired immune surveillance, chronic immunosuppression, and environmental exposures, with a focus on viral oncogenesis.

The author also discusses the diagnosis and management of viral origin post-transplant malignancies, including emerging therapies such as adoptive immunity, which represent promising avenues for treating both viral infections and related malignancies in transplant recipients.

An increased intra-abdominal pressure results in dialysate leaking across the diaphragm into the pleural space causing PPC. It is most commonly to be right-sided. Some PPCs appear rapidly. Some exist with long-term PD.

โœ…Origin of PPC can be detected via contrast CT peritoneography and peritoneal scintigraphy using Technetium-99m tagged macro aggregated albumin or Tc-99m sulfur colloid. Thoracentesis is consistent with a transudative effusion with a high glucose concentration (50 mg/dL greater than simultaneous blood glucose). However, glucose measurement may be equivocal if prolonged effusion results in significant glucose absorption.

โœ…Here we reported two cases of PPC verified by glucose gradient combined with pleural effusion volume observation, which might provide an easy, reliable, and cost-effective method for diagnosing PPC.

โœ…To examine the learning behaviour of surgeons undergoing cataract surgery training in an ambulant, single-centre, single-teacher setting.

โœ…This was a retrospective study to examine the process quality. Cataract surgeries were performed at an eye clinic in Bruchsal, Germany, using manual phacoemulsification technique under local anesthesia or sedation. Surgeon training involved stepwise instruction and practice on porcine eyes and surgical simulators before progressing to complete surgeries. Length of procedure, complication rates and visual outcomes were analysed to assess the effectiveness of the training. Shewhart control charts to assess process quality and detect systematic errors.

โœ…The study included 413 surgeries performed by two trainee surgeons over one year and compared their outcomes with those of an experienced supervisor. Operator A showed a typical learning trajectory, stabilising after 100 operations, whereas Operator B faced challenges, possibly exacerbated by disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Both operators showed comparable visual outcomes but differed in complication trends.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS
โœ…The importance of a consistent practice environment and suggests the integration of cataract surgery training into the ambulatory setting to reduce the training burden and increase accessibility

Read this powerful article by Richard M Fleming, PhD, MD, JD , which highlights key findings regarding the oligonucleotide content of Spikevax (Moderna) and BNT162b2 (Pfizer) COVID-19 vaccines.

Infectious processes, including that caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus number 2 (SARS-CoV-2) result in an Inflammo Thrombotic Immunologic Response (ITIR) Disease (ITIRD), in this instance Coronavirus Disease first described in 2019 (COVID-19). While medical management is possible, enhancement of immunity can be acquired through the administration of vaccines.

The development of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines, such as Spikevax (Moderna) and BNT162b2 (Pfizer), has been pivotal in mitigating the global pandemic. These vaccines rely on modified messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules to instruct cells to produce the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein, triggering an immune response.

While mRNA vaccines underwent rigorous clinical evaluation, emerging concerns have prompted further examination of their nucleic acid content and batch consistency. In particular, discrepancies in genomic material, including the presence of undeclared DNA sequences, have raised questions about manufacturing integrity and potential biological risks.

This study was conducted in response to a formal request by Peter Kotlรกr, MD, Plenipotentiary for the Government of the Slovak Republic, to assess the nucleic acid content in multiple lots of Spikevax and BNT162b2 vaccines. The analysis aimed to:

โœ…Identify the nucleic acids present in the vaccine preparations.
โœ…Quantify nucleic acid content across multiple lots.
โœ…Evaluate batch homogeneity.
โœ…Determine whether undeclared genetic material was present.
โœ…Assess potential biological implications of unexpected nucleic acids.
โœ…Examine the effects of expired storage conditions on nucleic acid stability.
โœ…The findings provide insights into vaccine composition, stability, and manufacturing practices, with implications for public health policy and regulatory oversight.

โœ…Numbers of trauma surgeries at 12 general hospitals from 2015 to 2023 were extracted and those before and after COVID-19 pandemic were compared.

โœ…The annual average number of trauma surgery patients before pandemic was 4279, but this decreased to 3825 (-11%) in 2020. There was no significant difference in the number of patients from the following year onwards. Number of patients who underwent surgery with spinal or local anesthesia before the epidemic was 3375, which significantly decreased to 2754 (-16%) in 2020, but no significant difference was observed after 2021.

โœ…The number of trauma surgeries decreased significantly only in the first year of the pandemic. This was due to a decrease in minor trauma surgeries that could be conducted with local or lumbar anesthesia. The government requested that citizens restrict their activities and asked medical institutions to postpone non-urgent surgeries, but emergency trauma surgeries were performed as usual. The decrease in trauma patients was only seen in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, considered to be due to the fact that numbers of accidents and traumas decreased as a result of citizens complying with the behavioral restrictions, but this voluntary behavioral restraint was thought to last only one year.

โœ…The behavioral restrictions reduced the number of trauma cases, but peopleโ€™s self-restraint was insufficient from the second year onwards.
