Twenty women and 20 men subjected to urologic operations comprise the study group. Ten women and 10 men were operated under halothane anesthesia and 10 women and 10 men--under neuroleptanesthesia. Plasma prolactin levels were determined before induction in anesthesia, and 30 and 60 minutes after the onset of the operation. The mean plasma prolactin level in women exceeded the upper normal limit at the first determination before induction in anesthesia. During the operation, both in women and in men, with either type of anesthesia there occurred statistically significant rise in the mean plasma prolactin, more pronounced in women than in men. In women, the rise in plasma prolactin was greater during operations performed under halothane anesthesia and in men--under neuroleptanesthesia.

Pregnancy is a vulnerable time with significant cardiovascular changes that can lead to adverse outcomes, which can extend into the postpartum window. Exposure to emissions from electronic cigarettes (Ecig), commonly known as "vaping," has an adverse impact on cardiovascular function during pregnancy and post-natal life of offspring, but the postpartum effects on maternal health are poorly understood. We used a Sprague Dawley rat model, where pregnant dams are exposed to Ecigs between gestational day (GD)2-GD21 to examine postpartum consequences.

Background: Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) deficiencies comprise a group of five neurometabolic disorders caused by five genetic defects responsible for BH4 biosynthesis and regeneration. Their global prevalence remains unknown, and variance exists among different countries.
Aims: To describe clinical, biochemical, molecular genetic data and follow-up of patients with BH4 deficiency seen in Tawam Hospital.

Psilocybin represents a novel therapeutic approach for individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) who do not respond to conventional antidepressant treatment. Investigating the influence of psilocybin on the pathophysiological processes involved in MDD could enhance our neurobiological understanding of the presumed antidepressant action mechanism. This systematic review aims to summarize the results of human studies investigating changes in blood-based biomarkers of MDD to guide future research on potentially relevant analytes that could be monitored in clinical trials.

Introduction: Vigna unguiculata (Cowpea), a legume rich in phytochemicals, has been traditionally used to improve fertility and treat various ailments. This study used in-silico and in-- vivo methods to evaluate the effects of cowpea protein isolate and essential oil on reproductive hormonal and antioxidant indices.
Method: Forty (40) female rats were divided into eight groups (n=5).
