Pulmonary Aspergilloma Presenting With Recurrent and Massive Hemoptysis in Post Tuberculous Cavities A Five Patient Surgical Case Series From a Tuberculosis Endemic Region

This case series from a tuberculosis-endemic region in South India demonstrates that surgical resection, often preceded by endovascular embolization for life-threatening hemorrhage, provides a definitive and effective treatment for pulmonary aspergilloma causing recurrent hemoptysis in post-tuberculous patients with acceptable morbidity.

The His41 site of 3CLpro is a new target for designing broad-spectrum antiviral agents against coronaviruses via a non-covalent pan-binding mode

This study identifies the conserved His41 site of coronavirus 3CLpro as a novel non-covalent pan-binding target, leading to the development of the optimized derivative ISL-221, which demonstrates broad-spectrum antiviral efficacy against multiple coronaviruses comparable to Paxlovid.

Increased myocardial [⁶⁴Cu]Cu-DOTATATE uptake is associated with subsequent cancer therapy- related cardiac dysfunction in rats

This study demonstrates that increased myocardial [⁶⁴Cu]Cu-DOTATATE uptake detected by PET/MR in rats serves as an early biomarker for doxorubicin-induced cardiac dysfunction, correlating with subsequent declines in left ventricular ejection fraction.

Intimate-partner physical and psychological violence in pregnancy and breastfeeding outcomes: findings from a UK prospective birth cohort of first-time mothers

This prospective UK birth cohort study of first-time mothers found that experiencing psychological intimate partner violence during pregnancy, regardless of whether it was perpetrated by the partner or the mother, significantly increases the likelihood of not exclusively breastfeeding at six weeks postpartum, whereas physical violence showed no such association.

Effects of Riociguat on Ovarian Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury: Modulation of Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Endocrine Function in a Rat Model

This study demonstrates that riociguat treatment in a rat model of ovarian ischemia–reperfusion injury significantly mitigates tissue damage by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, enhancing antioxidant capacity, and improving endocrine function, likely through the modulation of the NO–sGC–cGMP pathway.

Excess-Weight Metrics Misrepresent Weight Loss and No Metric Predicts the Metabolic Outcome After Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery

This study analyzing over 180,000 patients demonstrates that common excess-weight metrics misrepresent actual weight loss due to baseline BMI dependence and fail to predict metabolic outcomes after bariatric surgery, suggesting that direct measurement of glycemic response should be prioritized for patients with type 2 diabetes.
