Objective: To investigate the underrepresentation of women in leadership positions within the pathology workforce in Australia, despite their increasing numbers

Women pathologists in Australia represent over 50% of the workforce, yet they remain underrepresented in leadership roles.
Historical data shows that only 6% of RCPA presidents and 5% of College of American Pathologists presidents were women.
Gender biases, such as credibility bias and the motherhood penalty, negatively impact women's career trajectories in pathology.
Current institutional strategies often aim to 'fix the women' rather than addressing systemic biases that hinder women's advancement.
Meritocracy fails to balance opportunities across genders due to underlying biases that affect recognition and selection processes.

Baseline serum cortisol levels are significantly associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor efficacy in advanced gastric cancer patients.
High baseline cortisol correlates with poorer disease control rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival in advanced gastric cancer.
The study identified a cutoff of 193.95 nmol/L for baseline cortisol, with an AUC of 0.673 for overall survival prediction.
Multivariate analysis confirmed high baseline cortisol as an independent prognostic factor for poorer overall survival.
This research supports further exploration of stress hormone signaling to optimize immunotherapy in advanced gastric cancer.

Objective: To evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes, treatment adherence, immunogenicity, and pregnancies in two sisters with congenital generalized lipodyst

Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is characterized by a near-complete absence of adipose tissue and severe metabolic dysfunction due to leptin deficiency.
Metreleptin is the only approved leptin replacement therapy for CGL, significantly improving metabolic outcomes and allowing discontinuation of insulin in treated patients.
The two sisters in the study experienced sustained metabolic enhancement, including normalized triglyceride levels and resumed menstrual cycles, enabling successful pregnancies.
Long-term treatment adherence diminished over time, with one sister developing anti-drug antibodies after 14 years, though without significant clinical impact.
The cases highlight the lasting benefits of metreleptin therapy while also emphasizing the challenges of maintaining adherence and managing antibody development.

Rehmannioside A (REA) reduces neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits after traumatic brain injury (TBI) by inhibiting microglial activation.
In a mouse model of TBI, REA improved neurological function and spatial memory while decreasing cerebral edema and neuronal degeneration.
REA therapy resulted in a dose-dependent reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines in LPS-activated microglial cells.
The neuroprotective effects of REA are associated with decreased phosphorylation of p65 (NF-κB) and p38 (MAPK) in activated microglia.
The study supports REA as a potential therapeutic candidate for managing TBI and other neuroinflammatory disorders.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of budesonide EC and telitacicept in lowering proteinuria and maintaining renal function in patients with IgA nephropath

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis, with significant global incidence variation, particularly high in East Asia.
This study compared the efficacy of budesonide EC and telitacicept in reducing proteinuria and maintaining eGFR in patients with IgAN.
Telitacicept showed a greater reduction in proteinuria, especially in patients with mild-to-moderate baseline proteinuria.
Budesonide EC was associated with a higher average eGFR during follow-up, but this significance diminished after propensity score matching.
The findings highlight the need for further prospective studies to validate the comparative effectiveness of these treatments in IgAN.

Objective: To address the variability in cytokine responses to moderate-intensity exercise by distinguishing between metabolic (aerobic) and mechanical (resista

Moderate-intensity exercise encompasses both aerobic and resistance training, which activate inflammatory pathways differently.
Aerobic exercise induces an anti-inflammatory response via IL-6, while resistance training triggers a damage-repair immune response.
Current meta-analyses often combine cytokine responses from diverse exercise modalities, leading to significant variability in findings.
The proposed dual-axis classification distinguishes between metabolic and mechanical exercise dimensions for better data interpretation.
Future research should utilize time-resolved inflammatory sampling and causal inference techniques to clarify exercise-induced cytokine responses.
