Background: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia defined by a fusion gene transcript called PML::RARA. Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) is characterized by elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) and presents with pulsatile tinnitus, headaches, and visual disturbances. Pseudotumor cerebri has been observed in some patients undergoing long-term ATRA therapy.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the relationship between maternal fasting blood sugar (FBS), body mass index (BMI), and age as predictors for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women, using data from 4007 Iranian women.
  • - Results show that FBS has a strong correlation with GDM, particularly when considering a cut-off point of 85.95 mg/dL, which produced a sensitivity of 81% and specificity of 71%.
  • - The findings emphasize the importance of maternal weight and BMI in predicting GDM and highlight the need for further research to better standardize FBS cut-off points while accounting for age and BMI.

  • Primary immunodeficiency diseases with partial albinism, such as Chediak Higashi Syndrome (CHS) and Griscelli Syndrome type 2 (GS2), are autosomal recessive disorders characterized by immune deficiencies and abnormal pigmentation.
  • The study evaluated 25 patients over the past decade, using genetic analyses and examinations of leukocyte granules and hair shafts to identify these conditions, along with control groups of patients with albinism and healthy individuals.
  • The findings indicated specific genetic variants associated with CHS and HPS2, highlighting the importance of timely hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and genetic testing for accurate diagnosis and management of these syndromes.

Background: The optimal approach to luteal-phase support in infertility treatment remains a subject of debate. This study was conducted to investigate the clinical outcomes, side effects, and patient satisfaction associated with vaginal, subcutaneous, and intramuscular progesterone administration in infertile women undergoing Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET).

Methods: This three-armed randomized clinical trial assigned infertile patients eligible for FET to three progesterone treatment groups: vaginal suppositories (400 mg twice daily; n = 100), subcutaneous injections (25 mg daily; n = 102), and intramuscular injections (50 mg daily; n = 108).

Article Synopsis
  • Iran has seen a significant rise in cancer cases, creating challenges in oncofertility, which focuses on maintaining fertility post-cancer treatment.
  • A cross-sectional study involving 423 healthcare providers revealed that over 30% had no education on fertility preservation, and more than 20% do not incorporate FP strategies in treatment.
  • The results indicate a critical need for improved training and awareness among healthcare workers regarding fertility preservation options for young cancer patients in Iran.

Numerous strategies have been investigated for addressing recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and enhancing endometrial receptivity, yet agreement on the optimal intervention remains elusive. Our investigation endeavors to assess the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on pregnancy outcomes in individuals who have undergone a minimum of three unsuccessful embryo transfer cycles (ET). In our randomized single-blinded clinical trial, we enrolled thirty females with a medical history of RIF who were eligible for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET).

Unlabelled: Sequential local activation time (LAT) mapping of intracardiac electrograms' activations requires a stable reference signal to align recording phases.

Objective: This work's purpose is to develop an LAT mapping approach that does not rely on a time-alignment reference (TAR).

Methods: To create an LAT map in absence of TAR (TARLess), the coordinates and LATs of recording electrodes are collected sequentially; a bank of candidate functions (CFs) is constructed that contains constant binary level CFs and non-linear functions of recording points' coordinates.

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was, for the first time, to explore whether postpartum maternal iodine status or supplementation is associated with thyroid function after delivery. The MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus were searched up to December 2021 to identify relevant studies. The pooled mean thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (fT4), and thyroxine (T4) concentrations and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated based on maternal urinary iodine concentration (UIC) (< 50, 50-100, 100-200, and > 200 µg/L) or breast milk iodine concentration (BMIC) (< 100 µg/L vs.
