The landscape of recurrent spontaneous abortion registered on clinical trials.gov.

Objective: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) presents a significant challenge in the field of reproductive medicine, as effective treatments remain limited despite extensive research efforts. A comprehensive understanding of current RSA clinical trials is essential for enhancing trial design and identifying existing research gaps. The aim of this study is to characterize RSA related clinical trials registered on Clinical Trials.

Predicting three-month fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin changes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus based on multiple machine learning algorithms.

Fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) are key indicators reflecting blood glucose control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. The purpose of this study is to establish a predictive model for blood glucose changes in T2DM patients after 3 months of treatment, achieving personalized treatment.A retrospective study was conducted on type 2 diabetes mellitus real-world medical data from 4 cities in Sichuan Province, China from January 2015 to December 2020.

Advancements in lead therapeutic phytochemicals polycystic ovary syndrome: A review.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine diseases in women of reproductive age and features complex pathological symptoms and mechanisms.

Vascular lipidomics analysis reveales increased levels of phosphocholine and lysophosphocholine in atherosclerotic mice.

Objective: Atherosclerosis (AS) is the major cause of cardiovascular disease, and dyslipidemia is a principal determinant of the initiation and progression of AS. Numerous works have analyzed the lipid signature of blood, but scarce information on the lipidome of vascular tissue is available. This study investigated the lipid profile in the aorta of ApoE mice.

Development and Pilot-Testing of a Patient Decision-Making Aid for Nutrition in Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Objective: We described the development and pilot-testing of an application based patient decision-making aid (PDA) for nutrition in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Alpha-testing and beta-testing were performed to explore the PDA's usability, acceptability, and comprehensibility in the design stage and in "real-life" conditions.

Methods: A nutrition PDA was developed in this study by a multidisciplinary steering committee that consisted of ophthalmologists, nurses, nutritionists, and methodologists using a systematic development process.
