Unveiling the molecular mechanisms of recurrent miscarriage through endoplasmic reticulum stress related gene expression.

Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is a reproductive disorder affecting couples worldwide. The underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive, even though emerging evidence has implicated endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). We investigated RM- and ERS-related genes to develop a diagnostic model that can enhance predictive ability.

Developing Topics.

Background: In the past decades, the NIH has identified a large knowledge gap in the study of health and disease in diverse and underserved inhabitants. The most recent estimates (2020) indicate that rural dwellers represent 15-20% of the total US population, but these individuals experience worse health status than urban counterparts. A major challenge to the study of health disparities in rural areas is the dearth of structured rural cohorts that can be used for scientific research purposes.

A Comparative Study On The Progression Of Neuroendocrine Carcinomas and Mixed Neuroendocrine-Non-Neuroendocrine Neoplasms.

Introduction: The prognostic differences between neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) and mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNEN) remain unclear.

Methods: This study aims to compare the prognostic outcomes of NEC and MiNEN by analyzing the clinicopathological features of these diseases and exploring factors affecting progression after radical surgery. Additionally, we employed whole-exome sequencing to investigate the molecular mechanisms influencing the prognosis of both conditions.

Effects of lifestyle interventions on the prevention of type 2 diabetes and reversion to normoglycemia by prediabetes phenotype: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Objective: To explore the effects of lifestyle interventions on the prevention of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and reversion to normoglycemia by prediabetes phenotype.

Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the effects of lifestyle interventions in adults with prediabetes for a minimum duration of one year. Two reviewers independently screened articles, extracted data, and performed quality assessment.

Effects of expressive writing of positive emotions on mental health among patients with ovarian cancer undergoing postoperative chemotherapy.

Purpose: Patients with ovarian cancer often experience significant psychological distress during postoperative chemotherapy, including anxiety and depression. Expressive writing of positive emotions has shown potential in improving psychological health and fostering post-traumatic growth (PTG) in cancer patients. However, its application to ovarian cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy remains under-explored.
