Article Synopsis
- Research found that exposure to glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides in female rats during pregnancy and lactation led to preimplantation losses and may affect gene transcription through epigenetic changes.* -
- The study involved treating mother rats with glyphosate or a glyphosate herbicide, then analyzing the offspring's uterine tissues for changes in gene expression, DNA methylation, and histone modifications.* -
- Results indicated that both glyphosate and its herbicide counterpart resulted in decreased gene expression, increased DNA methylation, and distinct histone modifications, suggesting their potential role in implantation failure.*
Introduction: With the ageing of the global population and the rise in noncommunicable diseases, there is an increased need for rehabilitation services, especially those that address the specific needs of ageing populations. Through their proximity to patients, nurses play a critical role in providing rehabilitation interventions for older adults in primary health care. However, they are not yet established as typical rehabilitation providers and further research is needed to clarify their role and competencies to optimize rehabilitation interventions for ageing populations.

We aimed to elucidate a mechanism of action of these compounds assessing the transcriptional and epigenetic status of the receptivity marker, leukemia inhibitory factor (Lif) gene. F0 rats were orally exposed to GBH or Gly at 3.

This study investigates potential mechanisms of action, analyzing uterine preparation towards the receptive state. Pregnant Wistar rats (F0) were treated orally with GBH or Gly (3.

Background: The correlation between diabetes and aortic dissection is not fully understood yet, although in literature many studies have suggested that there may be an association between the two conditions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether diabetes represents a short- and long-term risk factor for mortality from type A acute aortic dissection.
Materials And Methods: A total of 340 patients with the diagnosis of type A acute aortic dissection underwent aortic surgery between January 2002 and March 2023.
