Aim: In frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET), differences in endometrial preparation methods affect the incidence of perinatal complications. However, the underlying causes are unclear. We aimed to investigate whether serum E2, P4 levels are associated with perinatal complications.

- The study aimed to analyze treatment patterns for biliary tract cancer (BTC) in Japan and investigate how often biliary infections affect treatment.
- Data was collected from over 22,000 patients diagnosed with BTC who received systemic therapies between 2011 and 2020, revealing that most patients were older males with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma being the most common type.
- Findings indicated that nearly 30% of patients experienced treatment delays due to biliary infections, with specific details on antibiotic duration and timing of infections occurring during therapy.
Article Synopsis
- - This study examined how oral ferric citrate hydrate (FCH) affects iron absorption in hemodialysis patients and looked at the role of hepcidin-25, a hormone that regulates iron metabolism, in this process.
- - Over six months, 268 participants were treated with FCH, and researchers tracked changes in serum iron levels to assess absorption, finding that lower hepcidin-25 levels correlated with better iron absorption.
- - Results indicated that as erythropoiesis (red blood cell production) was limited, patients experienced higher hepcidin-25 levels, leading to lower iron absorption from the intestine despite ongoing treatment with FCH.
Aim: This study was undertaken to investigate the utility of the fatty liver index (FLI) as a noninvasive tool for predicting hepatic steatosis based on alcohol consumption and sex in a large Asian population.
Methods: We carried out a single-center observational cohort study at the HITO Medical Center in Japan and enrolled 1976 Asian subjects. The subjects were categorized into nondrinkers and light drinkers (0-19 g/day) and moderate drinkers (20-59 g/day) based on their self-reported alcohol intake.
