Association of Gestational Iron-deficiency Anemia with Antenatal Depression among Pregnant Women: A Case-control Study from Tertiary Care Hospitals, Lahore.

Objective: The goal of this study is to investigate the potential association between gestational anemia and antenatal depression in pregnant women.

Methods: It is a case-control study consisting of 684 pregnant women under 18 years recruited in different tertiary care hospitals, in Lahore, between June 2023 and December 2023. Utilizing an online questionnaire, data collection encompassed demographics, dietary habits, and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS).

Risk of Parkinson's disease among users of alpha-adrenergic receptor antagonists: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Recent studies have tried to establish an association between the use of alpha-1-adrenergic receptor antagonists (A1ARAs) used in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and the risk of PD. The objective of the study is to compare the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) between terazosin/alfuzosin/doxazosin (TZ/AZ/DZ) users and tamsulosin users.

Methods: PubMed, Google Scholar, and Embase were systematically searched from inception to April 2023.

Children with autism spectrum disorder who demonstrate normal language scores use a bottom-up semantic processing strategy: Evidence from N400 recordings.

Introduction: The N400 is an electrophysiological component that reflects lexical access and integration of words with mental representations.

Methods: Thirty-five young children with a range of language capabilities (n = 21 neurotypical controls, 10 males, mean age = 6.3 ± 0.

The Neurobiology of Semantic Processing in Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Activation Likelihood Estimation Analysis.

Semantic processing impairments are present in a proportion of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Despite the numerous imaging studies investigating this language domain in ASD, there is a lack of consensus regarding the brain structures showing abnormal pattern of activity. This meta-analysis aimed to identify neural activation patterns present during semantic processing in ASD.
