Background: Carbonyl stress, a metabolic state characterized by elevated production of reactive carbonyl compounds (RCCs), is closely related to oxidative stress and has been implicated in various diseases. This study aims to investigate carbonyl stress parameters in drug-free bipolar disorder (BD) patients compared to healthy controls, explore their relationship with clinical features, and assess the effect of treatment on these parameters.
Methods: Patients with a primary diagnosis of a manic episode of BD and healthy controls were recruited.
Introduction: The ghrelin system, which generates the appetite hormone, is harmed by obesity, a problem of worldwide public health. An efficient way to cure obesity is through bariatric surgery. This randomized controlled study's objective was to assess preoperative diet-related DNA methylation of Ghrelin (GHRL) levels in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

When the studies are evaluated, immunomodulatory effect of MSCs, administration in critically ill patients, obstacle situations in use and side effects, pulmonary fibrosis prevention, which stem cells and their products, regeneration effect, administration route, and dosage are listed under the main heading like. The effect of MSC administration on DNA repair genes in COVID-19 infection is unknown. Our aim is to determine the effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy applied in critically ill patients with coronavirus infection on DNA repair pathways and genes associated with those pathways.

This study aimed to investigate whether the procedure-associated breast compression affects the widely and simultaneously performed blood measurements of C-reactive protein (CRP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and cancer antigen (CA) 15-3.

Therefore, we aimed to investigate the potential relationship between discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) expression and the prognosis and characteristics of glioma patients.
Materials And Methods: Tissue and serum samples from 34 brain tumor patients were evaluated for DDR1 messenger ribonucleic acid levels in comparison to 10 samples from the control group, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis has performed.
