The canonical Brucella species-host dependency is changing, however, the antibiotic susceptibility profiles remain unchanged.

Brucellosis is a chronic disease caused by Brucella species with a wide range of hosts, from marine mammals to terrestrial species, but with strict host preferences. With the zoonotic character, the prevalence of human brucellosis cases is a reflection of animal infections. This study aimed to identify 192 Brucella isolates obtained from various sources by Bruce-ladder PCR and to determine their antibiotic susceptibilities by gradient diffusion method (E-test).

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent controlled ovarian hyperstimulation or single euploid frozen-thawed embryo transfer at a single academic center. Patients fully vaccinated with a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine were compared with unvaccinated patients who cycled during the same time period.

The effect of virtual reality on Children's anxiety, fear, and pain levels before circumcision.

Background: Circumcision is one of the oldest and most frequently performed surgical interventions in many societies across the world. Boys undergoing this procedure experience anxiety and fear during the preoperative period. In addition, postoperative pain in children is reported to be associated with anxiety and fear.

The association between prior cesarean delivery and subsequent in vitro fertilization outcomes in women undergoing autologous, frozen-thawed single euploid embryo transfer.

Background: The rates of cesarean deliveries continue to increase worldwide. Previous work suggests an association between a previous cesarean delivery and reduced fertility in natural conception and in vitro fertilization treatment cycles. To our knowledge, there is no published research that explored the relationship between a previous cesarean delivery and the clinical outcomes after in vitro fertilization and the subsequent transfer of a single frozen-thawed euploid embryo.

Protective effect of dexpanthenol on cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity in rats.

Cisplatin (CIS) is an antineoplastic agent used for treating solid organ tumors. Toxic side effects of CIS treatment include nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, ototoxicity, myelosuppression and hepatotoxicity. Dexpanthenol (DEX) exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and protective effects against free oxygen radicals.

Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 plays a role in ovarian dysfunction related to high-fat diet-induced obesity.

Obesity, known to cause a systemic elevation in monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), adversely affects normal ovarian function. The aim of this study was to determine whether MCP-1 plays a role in ovarian dysfunction that is related to obesity induced by high-fat (HF) diet intake. Wild type (WT) C57BL/6J mice were fed either normal chow (NC) (Group 1, control group) or HF diet (Group 2).

Dietary Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) could alter ovarian function in mice.

Nutrition is an important source of exogenous AGEs and thermally processed foods present in western-style diets contain a large amount of these pro-inflammatory AGEs. Additionally, the intake of dietary AGEs could upregulate ovarian gene expression of inflammatory macrophage markers. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of diet rich in AGEs on estrous cyclicity and ovarian function in a mouse model.

Role of adiponectin in ovarian follicular development and ovarian reserve.

Adiponectin levels are associated with anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and kisspeptin levels in non-ovarian tissues. The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between adiponectin and the genes important for ovarian follicular development and ovarian reserve, specifically AMH and kisspeptin, and their corresponding receptors. In the first experiment, the mRNA levels of anti-Müllerian hormone () and its receptor (), as well as those of kisspeptin () and its receptor (), were quantified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis in the ovaries of two groups of mice [adiponectin-knockout (KO) vs.
