Article Synopsis
- Ovarian cancer (OC) is a critical health issue as it often goes undiagnosed until advanced stages, leading to poor outcomes due to extensive disease spread.
- Researchers analyzed ovarian cancer tissues and control samples using advanced techniques to identify changes in 130 metabolites, finding significant alterations, especially in glycometabolism pathways.
- The study also showed that metabolites like N,N-diacetylspermine were elevated in biofluids such as plasma and urine from OC patients, suggesting potential biomarkers for early detection and understanding of OC metabolic dysregulation.
Background: Group A streptococcus infection during pregnancy can be concerning. It may cause toxic shock syndrome, which can be fatal. Here, we report a rare case of a pregnant woman who developed infectious sacroiliitis due to group A streptococcus infection.

Methods: In Japan during 2015, the medical records of 929 patients with FIGO stage IB1 and IIA disease treated with radical hysterectomy were retrospectively reviewed. We assessed patients' characteristics, disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS) and prognostic factors for survival.
