Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists for Substance Use Disorders: Comprehensive Review of Circuit Mechanisms and Clinical Evidence

Adela G. Buciuc, Mark S. Gold, Brian Fuehrlein

Substance use disorders (SUDs) are a leading cause of preventable death worldwide, yet approved pharmacotherapies exist for only three of them: alcohol, tobacco, and opioid use disorders. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), established in metabolic medicine, are candidates for repurposing across multiple SUDs. This review synthesizes preclinical mechanistic evidence, pharmacoepidemiologic data, and randomized trials, comprehensively for human studies and selectively for preclinical work establish …

Atopic Dermatitis in Otorhinolaryngology: Clinical Manifestations and Implications for Practice

Nikolaos Fylaktou, Alexandra Danielidi, Katerina Grafanaki, Athanasios Vlachodimitropoulos, Gerasimos Danielides, Foteini Tsapardoni, Spyridon Lygeros

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease increasingly recognized as part of a broader atopic and type 2 inflammatory spectrum rather than a condition confined to the skin alone. Although its dermatologic burden is well established, its relevance to otorhinolaryngology remains relatively underrecognized. This narrative review examines atopic dermatitis from an otorhinolaryngology-centered perspective, focusing on ear, nose and throat (ENT) associations, clinical overlaps, shared inflammatory pathways …

Accuracy Verification and Correction of a Depth-Camera-Based Digital Measurement System for Pelvic Balance Assessment in the Trendelenburg Test

JongHyun Kim, ChangGi Lee, KwangTae Jung

This study proposes a markerless, single-camera depth-sensing system for digitally quantifying pelvic-balance ability in the Trendelenburg test, and verifies its accuracy and reliability against a marker-based motion capture (MC) reference and manual measurement (MM) in 16 healthy adults. A paired-samples t-test confirmed that the pre-correction bias between MC and DC was significantly different from zero (p < 0.001), whereas the post-correction bias between MC and the corrected DC (cDC) was not (p = 0.791; LOSO p …

Using Artificial Intelligence to Balance Agency and Efficiency in AAC Devices for Speech-Impaired Users

Engy Kherella, Jerry Shaughnessy, Frances Anne Belleza, Jingyi Xie

The speech-impaired population often encounters barriers to effective self-expression through speech, which can limit social participation. Many use Augmentative and Alternative (AAC) devices to facilitate communication and interaction. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have introduced features such as predictive word and phrase suggestions to improve communication efficiency. However, while these systems enhance efficiency, they can constrain users’ sense of agency and authentic self-expression. Prio …

Sergio A Rivera-Rodríguez, Naomi Zewde, Alexandra C Rivera-González

Abstract Introduction Puerto Rico's Medicare Advantage market operates under a persistent yet fluctuating federal funding disparity, with reported benchmark payments approximately 38% below those in United States states. Health insurance industry representatives have argued that this disparity constrains their financial margins, warranting measures to reduce healthcare benefits and demand more federal funds for Medicare. Methods This study assessed the relationship between Puerto Rico’s Medicare funding disparity a …

Evaluating the feasibility, cost savings and outcomes of a comprehensive electronic pathology record to inform clinical decisions: An Australian pilot study

Marshall Makate, Oliver Waters, David Lim, James H. Boyd, Suzanne Robinson

Background: In Australia, a patient’s pathology results are held in separate provider systems, so clinicians often cannot see a full testing history during a consultation, which delays decisions and drives unnecessary repeat testing. Point-of-care access to a complete pathology record has been proposed as a remedy, but its feasibility and effect in routine outpatient practice remain poorly established. Objective: To evaluate whether point-of-care access to a patient’s complete pathology history is feasible and whet …
