Uterine Rupture Trends in Patients Pursuing Trial of Labor After Cesarean in the United States from 2010 to 2022.

National rates of trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) have increased, but the risk of uterine rupture remains. Clinical practice- and patient-level changes also have occurred in the past decade, and an evaluation of contemporary uterine rupture rates is needed. Using natality files available in the National Vital Statistics System from 2010 to 2022, we conducted a repeated cross-sectional analysis to evaluate U.

Separation Anxiety and Personality Domains in a Dimensional Perspective: A Cross-Sectional Study in a Sample of Adults with Personality Disorders.

Background: Recent developments have highlighted the importance of separation anxiety across the lifespan, positioning it as a longitudinal psychopathological dimension. Few studies in the past decade, have explored this correlation within the context of other psychiatric disorders. This study aims to assess the presence of childhood and adulthood separation anxiety in a sample of adults with personality disorders, and its potential contribution to specific personality domains.

Differential transcript and soluble factor patterns in macrophage/enterocyte-like monolayer co-cultures based on apical or basolateral LPS exposure.

Background: The monolayer of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) plays a crucial role in controlling intestinal homeostasis, also by its interaction with the immune system, via paracrine cytokine production, thus driving innate responses by tissue-resident immune cells. Here, using a co-culture model, we investigated the interactions between differentiated Caco-2 cells in monolayer and macrophages, by mimicking the cross-talk between enterocytes and immune cells during gastrointestinal (GI) tract inflammation.

Methods: Caco-2 mature monolayers grown on Transwell membranes were challenged with apical or basolateral LPS.

Aspirin prevents metastasis by limiting platelet TXA suppression of T cell immunity.

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from primary tumours to distant organs and is the cause of 90% of cancer deaths globally. Metastasizing cancer cells are uniquely vulnerable to immune attack, as they are initially deprived of the immunosuppressive microenvironment found within established tumours. There is interest in therapeutically exploiting this immune vulnerability to prevent recurrence in patients with early cancer at risk of metastasis.
