Article Synopsis
- Oral contraceptives (OCs) are commonly used by women for pregnancy control and health issues, but misconceptions about their benefits and risks exist.
- A study in western Saudi Arabia surveyed women aged 15-49 using an online questionnaire to assess their awareness of OCs.
- Results showed only 13.6% of participants had excellent knowledge, with most information coming from friends/relatives and physicians, highlighting a connection between reliable sources and knowledge levels.
Phytoremediation potential of seedlings: comparing heavy metal accumulation in Ailanthus, Acer, and Fraxinus species.
Environ Monit Assess
September 2024
This study investigates the phytoremediation potential of non-productive seedlings of Ailanthus altissima, Acer pseudoplatanus, and Fraxinus excelsior for lead, cadmium, and zinc accumulation in contaminated soils of Zanjan Province, an industrial area with significant pollution. The evaluation employed a completely randomized design, with three treatment levels for each element, alongside a control treatment, replicated three times over a two-year period. A total of 810 one-year-old seedlings from the three species were involved in the study.

- BTBGD is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the SLC19A3 gene, leading to severe neurological symptoms like confusion, seizures, and disabilities.
- Diagnosis is challenging due to the disease's rarity and varied symptoms, with current treatment involving thiamine and biotin supplementation, although long-term effectiveness is still unclear.
- Researchers have created induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from a BTBGD patient, which can help study the disease's mechanisms and potentially lead to new treatments.
Septicemia caused by in a pregnant woman after cerclage-A case report.
SAGE Open Med Case Rep
May 2024
The objective of this case report is to discuss a case of septicemia caused by following cervical cerclage. The study described a case of a 42-year-old female patient who visited the Ante-natal Clinic for a follow-up appointment during the 8th week of gestation. The patient had previously undergone successful in vitro fertilization treatment following 16 years of primary infertility.

Therefore, in the present study, we sought to elucidate the function of decorin in breast stromal fibroblasts (BSFs). We first showed DCN downregulation in active cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) compared to their adjacent tumor counterpart fibroblasts at both the mRNA and protein levels.
