- The study investigates the involvement of the Wnt signaling pathway in early- and late-onset preeclampsia (PE) by measuring serum levels of Dickkopf-1 and R-Spondin-3 in 80 pregnant women.
- Results indicated that Dickkopf-1 levels were significantly higher in the early-onset PE group compared to controls, but no significant differences were found between the two PE groups or in R-Spondin-3 levels.
- The study concludes that elevated Dickkopf-1 may play a role in early-onset PE, prompting the need for further research to clarify its exact implications in PE pathology.
Objective: To investigate sestrin 2 (SESN2) levels in preeclampsia (PE) cases and uncomplicated pregnancies.
Methods: Cross-sectional study including 26 pregnant women with PE, 24 with severe-PE, and 30 randomly selected healthy pregnant women.
Results: The mean arterial pressure, severe proteinuria, number of HELLP syndrome cases, and serum SESN2 levels in the severe PE group were significantly higher than those in the other groups (p < 0.
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) may arise sporadically or in familial manner. We presented sporadic and familial cases with MTC in order to raise awareness on management of such patients. Three medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) cases were presented.

Of the 45 Klebsiella isolates, 24 (53%) were identified as K. oxytoca and 21 (47%) were identified as K.
