Article Synopsis
  • Infertility in female rats was linked to drugs that inhibit serotonin reuptake, which can lead to elevated levels of prolactin and cortisol.
  • In a study, female rats were divided into eight groups to test the effects of meperidine, sertraline, and tianeptine on reproductive function over a 25-day period.
  • Results showed that meperidine and sertraline increased prolactin levels and infertility rates, while tianeptine was found to inhibit these effects and may offer a treatment option for reproductive issues caused by serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

  • Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) and osteoarthritis share common underlying factors, such as metabolic syndrome and systemic inflammation, which may link the two conditions.
  • A study involving 60 patients with SD and 60 matched controls found that the distal femoral cartilage thickness (FCT) was significantly greater in SD patients, especially those with moderate disease severity.
  • The results suggest that increased FCT could be an early sign of osteoarthritis in SD patients, but more research with older participants is needed to confirm these findings.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease and the most common form of acute leukemia with a poor prognosis. Due to its complexity, the disease requires the identification of biomarkers for reliable prognosis. To identify potential disease genes that regulate patient prognosis, we used differential co-expression network analysis and transcriptomics data from relapsed, refractory, and previously untreated AML patients based on their response to treatment in the present study.

Objectives: The underlying mechanisms for the development of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and prognostic biomarkers are not clear yet. Thus, our aim is to assess and identify new biomarkers for the expression of 84 key genes linked to angiogenesis.

Methods: Patients who had levels more than 1000 dynes·sec·cm were included in the test group, and the other patients were included in the control group.

Almost half of the trials failed to recruit their targeted sample size of which 89% could be preventable. Successful implementation of mental health trials in a context of forcibly displaced individuals can be even more challenging. Mental health difficulties have the potential to impact parenting skills, which are linked to poor development in children, while parenting interventions can improve parents' mental health and parenting behaviors.

Aim of this study is to investigate whether the risk of miscarriage increases in pregnant women who had COVID-19 in first trimester. Our study included 52 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection detected by RT-PCR and 53 patients with negative RT-PCR test in samples taken with nasopharyngeal swab in the first trimester between March 1 and December 31, 2020. Complete abortion, incomplete abortion, blighted ovum, intrauterine exitus, biochemical pregnancies were accepted as in the miscarriage group (MG).

Background: Proteasome inhibitors target different pathways in cells and therefore are promising drugs in cancer therapy. The use of these inhibitors is approved mainly in hematological cancers, and recently many clinical trials and preclinical studies have been conducted on efficacy in solid tumors. Carfilzomib is a second-generation inhibitor and was developed to decrease the side effects of bortezomib.

Innovation roadmaps are important, because they encourage the actors in an innovation ecosystem to creatively imagine multiple possible science future(s), while anticipating the prospects and challenges on the innovation trajectory. In this overarching context, this expert review highlights the present unmet need for therapeutic innovations for pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs), also known as pituitary adenomas. Although there are many drugs used in practice to treat PitNETs, many of these drugs can have negative side effects and show highly variable outcomes in terms of overall recovery.

Objectives: Conflicts expose families to a range of factors that could have a negative impact upon parental mental health which in turn leads to poor growth and development of children. Early support can improve parental mental health and parenting behaviours but currently, there is a lack of evidence on parenting interventions for forcibly displaced populations. This study aims to deliver an online parenting intervention with a mental health component for refugee and asylum-seeker parents to evaluate its feasibility and acceptability.

Article Synopsis
  • 3D printing technology is revolutionizing tissue engineering, offering benefits over traditional methods, particularly in creating scaffolds for medical applications.
  • This research focuses on developing 3D printed patches made of Polylactic Acid (PLA) combined with Chitosan (CS) and Sodium Alginate (SA) to treat tympanic membrane perforations and improve hearing loss.
  • The study found that 3 wt% CS and 3 wt% SA added to PLA enhanced the scaffolds' printing quality and biocompatibility, indicating their potential for effective repair options in ear-related medical treatments.

Glioblastoma (GBM), one of the most malignant types of human brain tumor, is resistant to conventional treatments and is associated with poor survival. Since the 3D extracellular matrix (ECM) of GBM microenvironment plays a significant role on the tumor behavior, the engineering of the ECM will help us to get more information on the tumor behavior and to define novel therapeutic strategies. In this study, polycaprolactone (PCL)/gelatin(Gel)/hyaluronic acid(HA) composite scaffolds with aligned and randomly oriented nanofibers were successfully fabricated by electrospinning for mimicking the extracellular matrix of GBM tumor.

Within the scope of this study, p(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-co-tetraacrylic cyclen) (p(HEMA-co-TACYC)) hydrogels were synthesized for the first time in the literature using a tetraacrylic cyclen (TACYC) as both functional monomer and crosslinker. The hydrogels designed especially for Cu ions showed colorimetric sensor behavior selective for Cu ions in all aqueous media (deionized, tap, river and sea water) and in metal ion mixtures. The p(HEMA-co-TACYC) hydrogels forming a stable complex with Cu ions simultaneously showed properties of being a good adsorbent material.

Tumor deposits (TD) are irregular discrete tumor masses in adipose tissue, discontinuous from the primary tumor, that are described in various cancers. The incidence and/or prognostic value of TD in breast carcinomas have not been studied so far. We reevaluated 145 breast cancer patients, diagnosed and treated between 2001 and 2006 at our institution for the presence and incidence of TD.
