Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors improve long-term atrial fibrillation-free survival after catheter ablation.

Although sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are known to reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and AF-related adverse events, evidence on their prognostic effect in patients undergoing catheter ablation (CA) for AF is limited. In a single-center, 614 patients (mean age 58.1±9.

Natural Disasters as a Maternal Prenatal Stressor and Children's Neurodevelopment: A Systematic Review.

The intrauterine period is a time of high sensitivity in the development of the embryo and the fetus. Therefore, low levels of maternal stress are closely associated with healthy brain development in the neonatal and early childhood periods. There is increasing evidence linking natural disasters as prenatal maternal stress (PNMS) to neurodevelopmental disorders (including subclinical manifestations).

The Power of and Gene Expression and Methylation Status in the Diagnosis-Treatment-Cause Triangle in Tension-Type Headache.

DNA methylation is the epigenetic pathway controlling cellular gene expression. Methylation is a natural and cellular epigenetic mechanism for gene silencing. The fact that the genes that the cell decides to be silent do not speak or begin to speak may coincide with diseases.

Identifying predictors of persistent post-earthquake dizziness among adolescents after the 2023 earthquakes in Türkiye: A cross-sectional, multicenter study.
