Paracetamol, diclofenac, and ibuprofen are among the most commonly used analgesics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) worldwide. Although generally considered safe, chronic use of these medications has been associated with drug-induced liver injury. Comparative data on their hepatotoxic potential in long-term users remain limited. The main aim of study is to evaluate and compare the hepatotoxic effects of chronic use of paracetamol, diclofenac, and ibuprofen among adult patients attending a tertiary care hospital. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted over six mont

Artificial intelligence (AI) has transitioned over the past two decades from a set of experimental tools to an integral component of medical education. Despite several recent reviews, a consolidated two-decade overview that synthesises thematic developments and persistent gaps remains limited. This narrative review therefore examines how AI has shaped medical education between 2005 and 2025, highlighting progress, evolving practices, and areas requiring further research. A narrative review methodology was used to synthesise peer-reviewed literature published from January 2005 to May 2025. Sear

The primary objective of study is to compare the effects of different glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) on liver steatosis and fibrosis in patients with metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on 357 MASLD patients treated with liraglutide (n=129), semaglutide (n=118), or dulaglutide (n=110) for at least six months. Liver steatosis and fibrosis were assessed using transient elastography, with controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) values analyzed. Multivariabl
