Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the levels of Vascular Peroxidase 1 (VPO1), humanin, and MOTS-c in untreated preeclamptic pregnancies, focusing on their relationship with miR-200c expression and comparing these findings to endoglin levels.
- Blood samples from preeclamptic patients showed significantly elevated levels of endoglin, VPO1, and miR-200c, while MOTS-c levels were reduced; humanin levels did not differ significantly.
- A strong positive correlation was found between endoglin and VPO1, suggesting that these molecular changes may play a role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia and contribute to endothelial dysfunction.
Action myoclonus-renal failure (AMRF) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by myoclonic epilepsy with occasional renal failure comorbidity. This study examines a consanguineous family with multiple members presenting myoclonic epilepsy. The disease's continued transmission within the family is attributable to a lack of genetic testing and the inability to establish a definitive diagnosis.

Atherosclerosis is the main cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure, and stroke. The mechanism of atherosclerosis has not been well investigated in different aspects, such as the relationship between oxidative stress and endothelial function.

This retrospective and prospective study was an investigation of any differences in terms of clinical risk factors, radiological findings, or prognosis in patients with CVST who presented with isolated headache (IH) and cases with other concomitant findings (non-isolated headache [NIH]).
Methods: A total of 1144 patients from a multicenter study of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (VENOST study) were enrolled in this research.
Objective: To evaluate the possible associations between serum endocan levels and endometriosis.
Study Design: A total of 60 women with histologically proven endometriosis and 40 women who underwent laparoscopy due to unexplained infertility without endometriosis were evaluated in a case-control study. Serum endocan, CA125, CA19.
