Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the levels of Vascular Peroxidase 1 (VPO1), humanin, and MOTS-c in untreated preeclamptic pregnancies, focusing on their relationship with miR-200c expression and comparing these findings to endoglin levels.
- Blood samples from preeclamptic patients showed significantly elevated levels of endoglin, VPO1, and miR-200c, while MOTS-c levels were reduced; humanin levels did not differ significantly.
- A strong positive correlation was found between endoglin and VPO1, suggesting that these molecular changes may play a role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia and contribute to endothelial dysfunction.
The ability to consistently recognize an object despite variable sensory input is termed perceptual constancy. This ability is not innate; rather, it develops with experience early in life. We show that, when mice are naïve to an odor object, perceptual constancy is absent across increasing concentrations.

- The study aimed to address the lack of research on pneumonia management in immunocompromised patients, focusing on their specific unmet needs.
- An observational study of 140 CAP patients indicated a 30-day mortality rate of 17.8%, with higher fatalities noted in patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and in those who did not respond to treatment within three days.
- The findings suggest that early treatment response is crucial for improving outcomes in immunocompromised patients, highlighting a significant area that needs more attention in clinical care.
Endometriosis is one of the most frequent gynecologic disorders. The pathognomonic symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain. The recommended pain medications are oral hormonal contraceptives, progestin therapy, danazol, gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and aromatase inhibitors.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study included girls between 8-18 years old, without premature ovarian failure or without genetic factors resulting in ovarian dysgenesis. Blood specimens were collected after overnight fasting early in the morning during the early follicular phase.
