PostCOVID-19 Impact on Perinatal Outcomes.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Related Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during pregnancy was associated with a number of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including miscarriage, preeclampsia, preterm birth, and stillbirth. The virus persistence can last for a long time, and the consequences of a previous coronavirus infection are currently under study. This study aimed to establish the clinical features of the course of pregnancy and childbirth in women with a history of asymptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

What Could Lead to the Production of Anti-Rheumatoid Antibodies in Patients with Brucellosis Spondylodiscitis: Possible Causes.

Background: High titers of specific antibodies to cyclic citrulline peptide (ACCP) are often present in the serum of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and, together with rheumatoid factor (RF), are a diagnostic marker of RA. Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection in which osteoarticular involvement occurs in 10-85% of patients. RF in brucellosis patients is significantly higher than in healthy people.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the clinical features of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: an observational cross-sectional study.

The presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and COVID-19 infection is a detrimental combination for patients and can cause negative clinical consequences. The investigation aimed to compare sociodemographic and clinical parameters of COPD individuals hospitalized for exacerbations before and at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. An observational cross-sectional study including 222 patients with COPD was conducted in two stages: a survey and assessment of clinical and laboratory data of patients hospitalized from September 2022 to March 2023 (n=98) and processing of the medical histories of patients with COPD who received hospital treatment in 2017 and 2018 (n=124).

Altered Expressions of , , and Genes in the Thin Endometria of Patients with Reproductive Disorders: A Prospective Comparative Study.

Reproductive disorders are common events in modern reproductive medicine, occurring both in spontaneous and assisted pregnancies. Studies on the molecular mechanisms of implantation disorders in thin endometria, including the study of gene transcriptional activities, have shed light on the identification of the potential biological markers of endometrial receptivity. : The goal of this study was to reveal the significantly dysregulated selected gene expressions between RIF and RPL patients with thin endometria.

Altered Expression of and Genes in the Endometrium of Patients with Recurrent Implantation Failure after In Vitro Fertilization and Thin Endometrium.

Currently, recurrent implantation failure (RIF) after in vitro fertilization is a problem that is commonly faced by reproductive specialists. The phenomenon of a thin endometrium in RIF patients is not yet completely understood or sufficiently treated. This study aimed to reveal the dysregulated expression of selected genes between RIF patients with a thin endometrium and fertile women.
