Background: The obesogenic and diabetogenic effects of the environmental toxin bisphenol A during critical windows of development are well recognized. Liver and skeletal muscle play a central role in the control of glucose production, utilization, and storage.
Objectives: We hypothesized that maternal bisphenol A exposure disrupts insulin signaling in rat offspring liver and skeletal muscle.
Background: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (EBRT + cisplatin) plus intracavitary brachytherapy is the standard of care in patients with advanced cervical cancer. However, a number of patients could not undergone brachytherapy due to massive residual tumor or anatomical distortion. In this study, we have evaluated the treatment outcome in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer, undergone conventional EBRT plus cisplatin based chemotherapy.

- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of vaginal and sublingual misoprostol for helping induce labor in a group of 140 women.
- Participants were split into two groups, with one receiving vaginal misoprostol and the other sublingual misoprostol every 6 hours for 24 hours, and outcomes for mothers and babies were assessed.
- Results showed no significant differences in cesarean indications or complications between the two methods, but sublingual misoprostol was noted to be easier to administer, making it potentially more suitable for some patients.
