Evaluating single-dose methotrexate alone versus methotrexate with letrozole for treating ectopic pregnancy: a comparative study.

Purpose: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) constitutes 1-2% of all pregnancies. Methotrexate (MTX) is commonly used in treating EP, but it has some limitations and potential side effects. Clinical studies have shown that letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, may potentially be used in conjunction with MTX therapy.

Maternal serum xenin-25 levels in gestational diabetes mellitus.

Objective: Xenin-25 is a polypeptide having an insulinotropic effect via increasing the insulin-releasing action of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and promoting beta cell survival and proliferation. We aimed to assess serum xenin-25 levels in euglycemic pregnancies vs. pregnancies complicated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

The association between CHADS-VASc score and aortic valve sclerosis.

Background: Antithrombotic therapy in atrial fibrillation is generally managed with the CHADS-VASc score. Aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) is a focal thickening of the aortic valve without a restriction of motion. AVS is related to several cardiovascular risk factors.

Methods: The study included a cohort of chronic, episodic migraine (CM - EM) and healthy controls (HC).

Endometrial Cancer Individualized Scoring System (ECISS): A machine learning-based prediction model of endometrial cancer prognosis.

Objective: To establish a prognostic model for endometrial cancer (EC) that individualizes a risk and management plan per patient and disease characteristics.

Methods: A multicenter retrospective study conducted in nine European gynecologic cancer centers. Women with confirmed EC between January 2008 to December 2015 were included.
