Role of Prothrombin and Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene Polymorphisms as well as Thrombophilia Markers, as Risk Factors for Unexplained Recurrent Miscarriage: A Case-Control Study.
Int J Fertil Steril
January 2025
Background: Unexplained recurrent miscarriage (RM) is still an unsolved reproductive health problem. Inherited thrombophilias have been one of the causes. Mutation in genes encoding coagulation proteins, including prothrombin (PT G20210A) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genes, increase tendency for venous thromboembolism.

However, no studies have explored melatonin levels in camel seminal plasma or their relationship with testosterone, age, or climatic factors, nor is it known whether melatonin receptors exist in camel spermatozoa to respond to seminal melatonin. This study aimed to analyze melatonin levels in camel seminal plasma and its specific receptors in spermatozoa.

Article Synopsis
- Snakebite envenoming (SBE) is a major public health problem in tropical areas, especially Africa, where it causes a high number of fatalities and serious health issues due to ineffective antivenom treatments.
- This study focuses on developing nanobodies as a new type of treatment against cobra venoms, investigating toxic venom fractions and their interaction with acetylcholine receptors.
- The research identified two particularly deadly venom fractions, F5 and F6, and demonstrated that combining specific nanobodies could neutralize these venoms effectively in mice, revealing the complex nature of cobra venom's lethal effects.
This study investigates the ecological interaction between honeybees (Apis mellifera) and fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) plants, examining the mutual benefits of this relationship. Field experiments conducted in Egypt from December 2022 to May 2023 recorded diverse insect pollinators attracted to fennel flowers, especially honeybees. Assessing honeybee colonies near fennel fields showed improvements in sealed brood (357.
