The aim of this study was to investigate whether a single administration of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) can improve the pregnancy outcomes of RPL mice and whether the improvement is cause by TGF-β1 driving the expression of immune tolerance molecule indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO).

Materials And Methods: In this experimental study, 40 RPL model mice were equally divided into a control group, that received 0.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to assess the prevalence of hospital-acquired infections in patients who stayed in the hospital for at least 48 hours, revealing a 12.3% infection rate among the 463 patients studied.
  • The majority of infections were urinary, surgical site, and bacteremia, with a notable presence of invasive devices in most cases, and a diverse range of germs identified, including enterobacteria and resistant strains.
  • The findings highlight the significant occurrence of nosocomial infections and the importance of further research to better understand and address this issue.
