The performance gut: a key to optimizing performance in high-level athletes: a systematic scoping review
Introduction: The gut microbiome represents a key ecosystem influencing athletic performance through energy metabolism modulation, inflammatory response regulation, and recovery optimization in high-level athletes. However, the relationship between performance and gut microbiome composition in high-level athletes remains poorly understood. Objectives: This systematic scoping review aims to map the current evidence on the relationship between training and gut microbiome in high-level athle...
Interactions Between Gut Microbiota and Brain: Possible Effects on Sport Performance
Purpose This review examines the bidirectional interactions between gut microbiota and the brain, with a specific focus on their implications for sport performance. The main research question addresses how gut-brain communication responds to physical activity and actively contributes to athletic performance in elite athletes subjected to high physiological demands. Methods A comprehensive review was conducted analysing the characteristics and development of gut microbiota, the methods used t...
Comparative Gastrointestinal Safety of Dulaglutide, Semaglutide, and Tirzepatide in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes
Background: The comparative gastrointestinal safety across glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and tirzepatide is still unclear. Objective: To compare the risk for severe gastrointestinal adverse events across dulaglutide, subcutaneous semaglutide, and tirzepatide in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in routine clinical practice. Design: New-user, active-comparator cohort study. Setting: Population-based study. Participants: Adults with T2D initiating dulaglutide, subcutaneous semaglutid...
Intratumoral calcifications in pancreatic neoplasms on unenhanced CT: frequency and diagnostic implications
Purpose: Serous cystadenomas (SCAs), solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPNs), neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs), and mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) are pancreatic tumors that frequently develop calcifications. Identifying the presence and pattern of calcifications on unenhanced CT scans can significantly aid radiologists in differential diagnosis. Methods: Patients were included if they had a confirmed diagnosis through pathology or endoscopic ultrasound and MRI follow-up for at least one year. E...
Bone mineral density response to romosozumab in post-menopausal women: A prospective observational real-world study
Background: Romosozumab is approved in Europe for severe osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk of fracture including older women, but whether bone mineral density (BMD) response varies with age remains unknown. Purpose: To examine BMD changes in a real-world cohort of older women treated with romosozumab. We hypothesized that younger, treatment-naive patients and those with lower baseline BMD might experience greater BMD improvements. Methods: Prospective observational study in one I...
