Objective: To determine the impact of oral contraceptive (OC)-induced mood lability/depression on treatment maintenance in women with endometriosis.
Design: Women with endometriosis were retrospectively identified through International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, codes, and then a comprehensive electronic medical record review was conducted, identifying mood lability/depression as a reason for treatment discontinuation with the use of combined or progestin-only OCs (POCs).
Subjects: A total of 2,682 women with endometriosis, between the ages of 18 and 45 years treated in a university-affiliated hospital between 2012 and 2024.
Background: Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are common arrhythmias with diverse clinical implications. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of medical treatments using various clinical, imaging, and electrocardiographic parameters in patients with idiopathic PVCs.
Methods: A total of 1051 patients with idiopathic PVCs were retrospectively analyzed.
In this work, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) intercalated CuFe layered double hydroxides (LDH) membranes were fabricated and investigated for UV-LED/persulfate degradation of methylene blue (MB), crystal violet (CV), methyl orange (MO), and Eriochrome black T (EBT) dyes from water. The PVDF-CuFe membrane exhibited improved heterogeneity, surface functionality (CuO, Fe-O, Cu-O-Fe), surface roughness, and hydrophilicity. The process parameters were optimized by response surface methodology, and maximum MB removal (100%) was achieved within 45.
