Objective: To examine the association between cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) and corpus callosum (CC) length and width measurements in mid-trimester sonographic screening in normal fetuses.
Methods: This prospective cohort study examined 152 pregnant women who underwent mid-trimester sonographic fetal anomaly screening. CSP and CC lengths and their anterior, middle, and posterior width measurements were examined sonographically.
Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to compare the rates of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing specifically on patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in Turkey.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 1,748 STEMI patients, differentiating between those treated from March 11 to May 15, 2019 (pre-COVID-19) and March 11 to May 15, 2020 (COVID-19 era).
- - Results showed no significant difference in MACCE rates between the two eras, but COVID-19-positive STEMI patients had substantially worse long-term outcomes, with higher rates of MACCE and heart failure
Objective: We aimed to investigate both the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) admission, and demographic, angiographic, procedural characteristics, and in-hospital clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19 positive STEMI in Turkey.
Methods: This was a multi-center and cross-sectional observational study. The study population included 1788 STEMI patients from 15 centers in Turkey.
Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is well known as a principal scaffolding protein of caveolae which are specialized plasma membrane structures. The role of Cav-1 in tumorigenesis of breast cancers is relatively less studied. The aim of the present study is to describe the biological roles of Cav-1 in breast cancers considering its contrasting dual functions as an oncogene and as a tumor suppressor.
