Trends, outcomes and knowledge gaps in mobile apps for reproductive endocrinology and infertility: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Infertility is a complex condition that affects millions worldwide, with significant physical, emotional and social implications. Mobile apps have emerged as potential tools to assist in the management of infertility by offering features such as menstrual cycle tracking, ovulation prediction, fertility education, lifestyle modification guidance and emotional support, thereby promoting reproductive health. Despite promising advancements such as the development of apps with sophisticated algorithms for ovulation prediction and comprehensive platforms offering integrated fertility education and emotional support, there remain gaps in the literature regarding the comprehensive evaluation of mobile apps for reproductive endocrinology and infertility.

Analysis of Velocity, Power and Skin Temperature in Paralympic Powerlifting Athletes with Fixed and Variable Resistance.

Unlabelled: Variable resistance training has been widely used in athletic preparation.

Objectives: To analyze the use of currents (VRT) and the traditional method (TRAD) on speed, power and temperature in a training session.

Methods: Fourteen paralympic powerlifting (PP) athletes took part over three weeks.

Circulating levels of galectin-9 are a potential biomarker of survival in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.

Background: The immune system is recognized to have therapeutic potential to destroy cancer cells. Soluble T-cell immunoglobulin mucin domain-3 (sTIM-3) and its ligand galectin 9 (Gal-9) cause suppression of cytokine production, cell cycle arrest and cell death. sTIM-3 and Gal-9 levels may have prognostic implications in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

Redefining Abdominal Contours: An Analysis of Medium Definition Liposuction Abdominoplasty.

Introduction: This study elucidates the application of Medium Definition Liposuction Abdominoplasty, a novel technique for achieving well-defined abdominal contours. The technique focuses on revealing the patient's inherent muscular volume and form by creating thinner flaps compared to traditional liposuction methodologies.

Methods: Objective evaluations of the abdominal wall's configuration were systematically executed both pre- and post-intervention for each participant.
