The co-occurrence of bilateral medial medullary infarction and anterior spinal artery syndrome in pregnancy: A case report.

Anterior spinal artery occlusion resulting in bilateral medial medullary infarction (bMMI) and anterior spinal artery syndrome (ASAS) simultaneously has been rarely described. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such occurrence during pregnancy. A 23-year-old preeclamptic parturient at 37 weeks underwent an emergent cesarean section after developing gradual neurological deficits.

Colorectal Cancer Incidence in Iran Based on Sex, Age, and Geographical Regions: A Study of 2014-2017 and Projected Rates to 2025.

Background: While there has been extensive research on colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and its associated factors in Iran, a significant gap exists in studies predicting its future trends. Our study aimed to thoroughly report CRC incidence across Iran from 2014 to 2017, by sex, age, and geographical regions, and provide a projection for 2025.

Methods: This retrospective study utilized data from the Iranian National Population-based Cancer Registry (INPCR).

miR-939, as an important regulator in various cancers pathogenesis, has diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic values: a review.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are highly conserved non-coding RNAs with a short length (18-24 nucleotides) that directly bind to a complementary sequence within 3'-untranslated regions of their target mRNAs and regulate gene expression, post-transcriptionally. They play crucial roles in diverse biological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. In the context of cancer, miRNAs are key regulators of growth, angiogenesis, metastasis, and drug resistance.

Prostate cancer: Novel genetic and immunologic biomarkers.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is considered one of the most prevalent male malignancies worldwide with a global burden estimated to increase over the next two decades. Due to significant mortality and debilitation of survival, early diagnosis has been described as key. Unfortunately, current diagnostic serum-based strategies have low specificity and sensitivity.

Sleep disturbance and gastrointestinal cancer risk: a literature review.

Sleep, accounting for roughly one-third of a person's life, plays an important role in human health. Despite the close association between sleep patterns and medical diseases proven by several studies, it has been neglected in recent years. Presently, all societies are facing the most challenging health-threatening disease, cancer.
