Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as two or more consecutive miscarriages before 20 weeks of gestation, affects 1-2% of couples worldwide. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 play critical roles in early pregnancy, while anti-inflammatory cytokines like TGF-β and IL-10 promote immune tolerance to prevent harmful inflammatory responses that play important role in placental and fetal development. This aim of the study is to analyse the levels of inflammatory cytokines in blood serum from RPL patients and healthy women (control).

Article Synopsis
- - The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant increase in plastic waste due to heightened hygiene practices and the extensive use of personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and Hazmat suits.
- - The surge in production of single-use plastics, particularly in testing and healthcare settings, has created challenges for effective plastic waste management and contributed to growing environmental concerns.
- - To address this issue, it's essential to implement policies that encourage behavioral change, improve waste management strategies, and foster public-private partnerships to mitigate plastic waste and prevent similar crises in the future.
