: Achilles and hamstring tendinopathies are common injuries in runners, and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) may be an effective treatment. Runners are at risk for lower extremity tendinopathies and the Male and Female Athlete Triad (Triad). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association of sex, exposure to hormonal contraceptives, menopause, and Triad-related risk factors with ESWT outcomes in the treatment of Achilles and hamstring tendinopathy.

- Results showed that women who were vaccinated (Group B) experienced higher instances of certain complications but had lower COVID-19 rates post-vaccination, indicating the vaccine's potential benefits despite some risks.
Article Synopsis
- The text highlights the existing racial disparities in cardiovascular health, particularly sudden cardiac death (SCD) among competitive athletes, emphasizing the need to understand the influence of social determinants of health and structural racism on these disparities.* -
- It advocates for a paradigm shift in sports cardiology that focuses on three principles: race-conscious awareness, clinical inclusivity, and research-driven refinement, suggesting a move away from race-based assumptions towards personalized and equitable health care.* -
- The conclusion stresses the importance of recognizing structural racism and social determinants of health in understanding and addressing health outcome disparities, proposing that a race-conscious framework could improve the quality of cardiovascular care for diverse athletes.*
Introduction: Death in cervical cancer patients is usually due to invasion and metastasis due to the aggressive nature of the tumour. Therefore, it is critical to identify potent therapeutic targets and prognostic markers to detect high-risk patients.
Material And Methods: We assessed the immunohistochemical expression of protein disulphide isomerase A3 (PDIA3) and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (p-STAT3) in 50 cases of cervical carcinoma, and we investigated their association with clinicopathological characteristics.
