Incidence of chronic pelvic pain after childbirth and its causal association with C-section.

This study aimed to report the incidence of chronic pelvic pain in women 12 to 24 months postpartum, to identify the independently associated factors, and to conduct a causal inference with C-section as the exposure. This was a cross-sectional study nested within 2 distinct prospective cohorts from 2 Brazilian cities. Chronic pelvic pain was the dependent variable.

Mepolizumab in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps: Real life data in a multicentric Sicilian experience.

Unlocking the power of empagliflozin: Rescuing inflammation in hyperglycaemia- exposed human cardiomyocytes through comprehensive multi-level analysis.

Aims: Hyperglycaemic conditions increase cardiac stress, a common phenomenon associated with inflammation, aging, and metabolic imbalance. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, a class of anti-diabetic drugs, showed to improve cardiovascular functions although their mechanism of action has not yet been fully established. This study investigated the effects of empagliflozin on cardiomyocytes following high glucose exposure, specifically focusing on inflammatory and metabolic responses.
