Purpose Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) presents a chronic pain condition affecting muscles and joints. Investigating circadian rhythms' disruption, integral to physiological responses, this study delves into the potential impact of  gene polymorphism (rs57875989) on FMS pathogenesis. Methods In this study, we investigated gene polymorphism in 100 FMS patients and an equal number of control individuals.

Digital pathology has emerged as a revolutionary field, transforming traditional diagnostic practices by integrating advanced imaging technologies, computational tools, and artificial intelligence (AI). Adopting digital slides over conventional glass slides enables high-resolution imaging, facilitating remote consultations, second opinions, and telepathology. The digitalization of pathology laboratories enhances workflow efficiency and allows for large-scale data storage, retrieval, and analysis, paving the way for developing robust diagnostic algorithms.

Magnesium is an essential nutrient for various physiological processes and becomes even more vital during pregnancy, contributing to muscle relaxation, bone development, electrolyte balance, and blood pressure regulation. Despite the fact that the dietary sources of magnesium are diversified, it is still challenging to obtain it in sufficient quantities during pregnancy. We have elucidated its interactions and its specific impact on maternal-fetal health in different research publications.

Purpose Vitamin D receptor (VDR) has been proposed as a possible marker for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). The purpose of this study is to characterize the expression pattern of BsmI polymorphism (rs1544410) in the VDR gene in women with FMS and the genotype-phenotype association. Methods A total of 105 FMS patients and 105 controls were included in this study.
