Triglyceride-Glucose Index Adjusted for Body Mass Index and Risk of MASLD: Evidence from a Cross-Sectional Study

This cross-sectional study of 16,844 U.S. adults demonstrates that the combined Triglyceride-Glucose Index and Weight-Adjusted Waist Index (TyG-WWI) is a superior predictor of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) risk compared to either indicator alone, particularly among individuals with a lower BMI.

Station-level 18F-FDG PET/CT for lymph node staging in gynecologic cancer: where it is reliable, where it misleads, and a two-centre analysis of discordance with histopathology

This two-centre study demonstrates that while preoperative ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT is highly specific and reliable for confirming lymph node metastasis in gynecologic cancer, its moderate sensitivity—particularly at the para-aortic and common iliac stations—means negative results cannot rule out disease, thus supporting its use to guide but not replace surgical nodal staging.
