Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the levels of Vascular Peroxidase 1 (VPO1), humanin, and MOTS-c in untreated preeclamptic pregnancies, focusing on their relationship with miR-200c expression and comparing these findings to endoglin levels.
- Blood samples from preeclamptic patients showed significantly elevated levels of endoglin, VPO1, and miR-200c, while MOTS-c levels were reduced; humanin levels did not differ significantly.
- A strong positive correlation was found between endoglin and VPO1, suggesting that these molecular changes may play a role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia and contribute to endothelial dysfunction.
Transgender men use exogenous androgen for male pattern virilization. Hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (HBSO) is performed to stop the endogenous estrogen secretion. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk has been shown to increase with long-term use of androgens and the removal of estrogen.

- The study examines the role of soluble vascular endothelial cadherin (sVE-cadherin) in understanding preeclampsia, a condition characterized by endothelial dysfunction, by comparing serum levels in preeclamptic women and healthy controls.
- A total of 240 pregnant women were involved, including those with early-onset and late-onset preeclampsia, with blood samples taken for analysis before labor, showing significantly higher sVE-cadherin levels in women with early-onset preeclampsia.
- The findings suggest that sVE-cadherin levels correlate positively with blood pressure and inversely with gestational age, making it a key marker for identifying
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates if the Pfannenstiel skin incision during cesarean deliveries can be modified based on the size of the fetal head's occipitofrontal diameter (OFD).
- Among 114 nulliparous women, the incision length was closely aligned with the fetal head size, achieving a 95.6% success rate without extensions for the majority.
- The technique allows for a more cosmetic incision while maintaining safety and comparable outcomes for newborns.
