Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the causal link between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) using Mendelian randomization analysis, aiming to clarify earlier inconsistent findings.
  • - Researchers used genetic variants as instruments to confirm that higher genetically predicted LDL-C levels increase susceptibility to HG, with sensitivity analyses reinforcing the results.
  • - Findings suggest that lowering LDL-C levels could be a potential preventive or treatment strategy for HG, as reverse analyses indicated that HG does not affect LDL-C levels.

Based on the Hill muscle model (HMM), a biomechanical model of human hip muscle tendon assisted by elastic external tendon (EET) was preliminarily established to investigate and analyze the biomechanical transition between the hip joint (HJ) and related muscle tendons. Using the HMM, the optimal muscle fiber length and muscle force scaling variables were introduced by means of constrained optimization problems and were optimized. The optimized HMM was constructed with human parameters of 170 cm and 70 kg.

Transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA) is the standard treatment for the intrauterine adhesions, but the recurrence of adhesions is a tough problem for the gynecologist. In addition, the therapeutic strategy after TCRA about prevention of recurrence remains controversial especially for the patients with moderate to severe intrauterine adhesions (IUAs). Hence, we designed this study to explore the safety and efficacy of fresh amnion grafts for preventing the recurrence after TCRA for patients with moderate to severe IUAs.
