Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is a common complication secondary to estrogen depletion which leads to tissue changes in the female genitourinary tract. Here, we sought to investigate the short- and long-term effects of CO laser therapy on symptoms of GSM in postmenopausal women. In this clinical trial, 47 postmenopausal women with symptoms of GSM were included.

However, the regulatory mechanisms governing ILC2 function remain inadequately explored. This study uncovers V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) as an inhibitory immune checkpoint crucial for modulating ILC2-driven lung inflammation.

Methods: Participants were 633 females, 21-45 y, presenting to an academic fertility center.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) in localizing the seizure onset zone (SOZ) in epilepsy surgery through comparison with other methods like EEG and surgical outcomes.
- Over 9,500 articles were reviewed, leading to 25 that met inclusion criteria, highlighting various comparative modalities, with rs-fMRI showing significant variability in agreement when compared to different methods.
- Results showed that surgical outcomes had better agreement with rs-fMRI than EEG and intracranial EEG, and the study provided meaningful insights into the heterogeneity of SOZ identification using rs-fMRI techniques.
