Objective: The Prolapse and Incontinence Knowledge Questionnaire (PIKQ) is a self-administered, reliable and valid instrument which assess knowledge regarding urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. There is no validated Hungarian version of this questionnaire; therefore the aim of this study was to develop a reliable, valid and culturally sensitive Hungarian version of the PIKQ.
Study Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to October 2022 with a sample of 459 women.
This article investigates how non-invasive prenatal testing and the incorporation of genomic sequencing into newborn screening postnatally are transforming perinatal care. They improve the accuracy of prenatal and neonatal screening, allowing for early interventions and personalized therapies. Non-invasive prenatal testing before birth and saliva-sample-based newborn genomic sequencing after birth can be collectively referred to as non-invasive perinatal testing.

There may be characteristic patterns in the amino acid sequences of aging-related proteins that distinguish them from other proteins and this information will lead to a better understanding of the aging process. To test this hypothesis, human protein sequences are extracted from the UniProt database and the relative frequency of every amino acid residue in aging-related proteins and the remaining proteins is calculated.

Objectives: The aims of the present study were to evaluate Hungarian women's knowledge about pelvic floor disorders and to assess health care-seeking behavior.
Study Design: We conducted a cross-sectional survey from March to October 2022 using self-administered questionnaires.
A central question in the field of aging research is to identify the cellular and molecular basis of neuroresilience. One potential candidate is the small GTPase, Rab10. Here, we used Rab10 mice to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying Rab10-mediated neuroresilience.
