Background: Norethisterone acetate (NETA), also known as norethindrone acetate is a progestogens medication that is widely used in birth control pills, menopausal hormone therapy, and for the treatment of gynecological disorders as abnormal uterine bleeding and endometriosis. There is a lack of detailed histological information regarding the effects of NETA on the uterine structure. So, the present study focuses on the uterine histological, histochemical and ultrastructure changes following the exposure to NETA in the albino rats.

Article Synopsis
  • Xp11 translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC) is a rare cancer that mostly affects females and is caused by a fusion of the TFE3 gene on chromosome X with other genes.
  • The study explores how TFE3 fusions occur through rearrangements and whether these fusions arise from the active or inactive X chromosomes, shedding light on tRCC's female predominance.
  • Findings show that TFE3 fusions are typically due to reciprocal translocations and that specific translocations involving the inactive X chromosome contribute to the higher incidence of tRCC in females, revealing important insights into cancer genetics and sex differences.

This study assessed the clinical effectiveness of orange peel polymethoxy-flavonoids rich fraction (OPMF) solid dispersion as a palatal dressing material, compared with Alveogyl, in a randomized clinical trial. After harvesting free gingival grafts for 18 patients in three groups, the donor site in group I received OPMF; group II received Alveogyl; and group III received placebo dough material. The visual analog scale (VAS) pain score in group I showed the lowest value in week one without a significant difference.

Materials informatics (MI) has immense potential to accelerate the pace of innovation and new product development in biotechnology. Close collaborations between skilled physical and life scientists with data scientists are being established in pursuit of leveraging MI tools in automation and artificial intelligence (AI) to predict material properties and . However, the scarcity of large, standardized, and labeled materials data for connecting structure-function relationships represents one of the largest hurdles to overcome.

Article Synopsis
  • Xp11 translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC) is a type of kidney cancer that mostly affects females, caused by genetic rearrangements on the X chromosome.
  • The study investigates how these genetic fusions occur, focusing on whether they emerge from active or inactive X chromosomes in females and their link to the female predominance in this cancer.
  • The findings reveal a significant 2:1 ratio of female to male fusions resulting from X:autosomal translocations, suggesting that inactive X chromosomes contribute to this female bias in tRCC and highlight the unique role of sex chromosomes in cancer development.

Simvastatin (SV) is a poorly soluble drug; its oral administration is associated with a significant problem: Myopathy. The present study aims to formulate SV microsponges that have the potential to minimize the myotoxicity accompanying the oral administration of the drug. SV microsponges were prepared by exploiting the emulsion solvent evaporation technique.

Background: Melasma is one of the common pigmentary problems affecting females in our community, owing to the frequent use of hormonal contraceptives as well as our sunny climate. A lot of treatment options are available but none of them is completely satisfactory. Many patients prefer the use of topical preparations and minimally invasive methods.
