Although clinicopathological prognostic factors and gene expression profiles are commonly used to guide treatment decisions in patients with breast cancer, there is still a need for new prognostic markers. One potential marker is survivin, a protein belonging to the apoptosis inhibitor family.

The secondary aim of the study is to assess the ability of POCUS-CAC to detect ROSC during ongoing chest compressions. This prospective study was conducted in a tertiary emergency department between January and June 2023.

- Acute pancreatitis, a serious inflammation of the pancreas, can lead to high morbidity and mortality, often due to causes like gallstones, alcohol, and medications.
- This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) and Prognostic Nutrition Index (PNI) scores as tools for predicting necrotizing pancreatitis, a severe form of the condition.
- Findings from a study of 339 patients indicated that higher CONUT scores and lower PNI scores were associated with necrotizing pancreatitis, suggesting these scores can help in early identification and potentially improve patient outcomes.
: Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) poses a significant risk for heart failure in individuals with diabetes, yet its underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Elevated blood sugar levels initiate harmful processes, including apoptosis, collagen accumulation, and fibrosis in the heart. Vinpocetine, a derivative of L.

Different strategies were therefore developed to increase pregnancy rates. The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate the effects of hormone treatments used to increase the success of embryo transfer programs on pregnancy rates.
