Introduction: Infertility is a very discussed problem in many endocrinological and gynecological courses and congresses. In a rapidly revolving environment women tend to postpone pregnancy to have security in their financial life and career.We discuss primary and secondary infertility and the hormonal results in women that presented for a desire to conceive with their partner.

Article Synopsis
  • Coronary aneurysms are defined as sections of a coronary artery that are significantly enlarged, with giant aneurysms being particularly large and lacking a clear consensus definition.
  • Atherosclerosis is a common cause in adults, while Kawasaki disease and Takayasu arteritis are key contributors in children, but complications from these aneurysms can lead to serious health issues like heart failure and arrhythmias.
  • Recent studies are investigating the molecular mechanisms behind these aneurysms, highlighting the roles of specific molecules like MMPs and inflammatory cytokines in causing arterial wall degradation and subsequent aneurysm formation.

Hemophilia, which is a rare disease, results from congenital deficiencies of coagulation factors VIII and IX, respectively, leading to spontaneous bleeding into joints, resulting in hemophilic arthropathy (HA). HA involves complex processes, including synovial proliferation, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling. Despite ongoing research, factors contributing to HA progression, especially in adults with severe HA experiencing joint pain, remain unclear.

Navigating through antithrombotic therapy in patients with both hemophilia and cardiovascular pathology presents a complex scenario with inherent challenges and opportunities. The presence of hemophilia, characterized by impaired blood clotting, adds a layer of complexity to the management of cardiovascular conditions requiring antiplatelet therapy and anticoagulation. Striking a delicate balance between the necessity for antithrombotic treatment to prevent cardiovascular events and the heightened risk of severe bleeding in individuals with hemophilia demands a nuanced and carefully considered approach.

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), comprising leucine (Leu), isoleucine (Ile), and valine (Val), are essential nutrients vital for protein synthesis and metabolic regulation via specialized signaling networks. Their association with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) has become a focal point of scientific debate, with emerging evidence suggesting both beneficial and detrimental roles. This review aims to dissect the multifaceted relationship between BCAAs and cardiovascular health, exploring the molecular mechanisms and clinical implications.
