Mediterranean Diet Prior to Ischemic Stroke and Potential Circulating Mediators of Favorable Outcomes.

. A Mediterranean diet (MD) has been associated with neuroprotective effects. We aimed to assess the MD's association with stroke prognosis and the potential mediators involved.

Challenges associated with follow-up care after implementation of an HPV screen-and-treat program with ablative therapy for cervical cancer prevention.

Background: Cervical cancer is a preventable cancer; however, decreasing its prevalence requires early detection and treatment strategies that reduce rates of loss to follow-up. This study explores factors associated with loss to follow-up among HPV-positive women after implementation of a new HPV-based screen-and-treat approach for cervical cancer prevention in Iquitos, Peru.

Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with "obstetras" (i.

Philippine retinoblastoma initiative multi-eye center study 2010-2020.

Aim: To provide a comprehensive and more representative national data on the disease, especially on treatment options and outcomes, and to determine access of retinoblastoma patients from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao to eye care, and determine if access is associated with delay in consultation, staging and outcomes.

Methods: Cohort study of retinoblastoma patients seen in eleven institutions located in the three major areas of the Philippines namely Luzon, Vizayas and Mindanao from 2010-2020.

Results: Totally 636 patients, involving 821 eyes, were included.

Comparison of the Administration of 150 or 75 of Recombinant LH in Agonist ICSI Cycles Stimulated with Recombinant FSH in Women Aged 35-39: A Comparative Study.

Background: The purpose of the study was to assess whether the coadministration of 150 of recombinant LH instead of 75 in women aged 35-39 improves the results in agonist ICSI cycles stimulated with 300 of recombinant FSH.

Methods: In this study, two ovarian stimulation protocols coexisted which were identical except in the administered dose of recombinant LH, for which some patients received 150 (n=231) and some received 75 (n=216). Both groups received 300 of recombinant FSH.
