Colorectal cancer (CRC) is well characterized in terms of genetic mutations and the mechanisms by which they contribute to carcinogenesis. Mutations in APC, TP53, and KRAS are common in CRC, indicating key roles for these genes in tumor development and progression. However, for certain tumors with low frequencies of these mutations that are defined by tumor location and molecular phenotypes, a carcinogenic mechanism dependent on BRAF mutations has been proposed.

Elevated progesterone (EP) or inadequate progesterone levels during ART cycle monitoring may lead to cycle cancellations or further progesterone supplementation, but practice varies. It remains controversial whether modifying clinical practice in the presence or absence of EP improves clinical outcomes. This systematic review aims to investigate if progesterone levels at different phases of fresh and frozen ART cycles influence pregnancy outcomes, in particular, that pertaining to day 3 versus day 5 embryo transfers.

Article Synopsis
  • Dengue is a significant global health issue, and introducing Wolbachia bacteria into Aedes aegypti populations has been effective in reducing its transmission, though the impact on untreated areas is unclear.
  • A synthetic control method was utilized to estimate the effectiveness of Wolbachia in reducing dengue incidence in Malaysia, comparing treated areas to non-treated control areas.
  • The study found a substantial direct reduction of 64.35% in dengue cases in treated areas and a notable 37.69% reduction in adjacent untreated regions due to spillover effects.
