Objective: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is the major cause of maternal morbidity and is responsible for maternal mortality in the first trimester. In order to reduce undesirable results, it is necessary to find rapid and accurate, non-surgical diagnostic tests for ER The goal of the study was to investigate the differences in complete blood count parameters between tubal EPs and healthy pregnancies in be used in the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.
Study Design: White blood cell (WBC), neutrophil, monocyte, lymphocyte, platelet (PLT) counts, mean PLT volume (MPV) and PLT distribution width (PDW) levels in the complete blood count samples have been obtained from subjects with diagnosed tubal EP (n=78; study group) and women with healthy intrauterine gestations (n=79; control group). Statistical comparisons between groups were performed using the t test.
Results: PDW levels were found to be significantly higher in the control group than EP (p<0.001). However no differences between the study and control groups with regard to PLT and MPV levels were observed. WBC levels were found to be significantly higher in the EP group as compared to controls (p<0.001). When leukocyte differentials were compared, monocyte counts in the EP group were significantly higher than in controls (p=0.005). No statistically significant differences in neutrophil and lymphocyte values were observed in either group.
Conclusion: PDW as an indicator of PLT activation is lower in tubal EP than intrauterine pregnancy so, possibly endometrial invasion in the intrauterine pregnancy needs more PLT activation. Monocyte counts are higher in tubal EP, indicating that monocyte activation in the pathophysiology of EP could be effective in the formation of tubal motility and microenvironment regulation.

National Jewish Health, Denver, USA.
Background: We sought consensus among practising respiratory physicians on the prediction, identification and monitoring of progression in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) using a modified Delphi process.
Methods: Following a literature review, statements on the prediction, identification and monitoring of progression of ILD were developed by a panel of physicians with specialist expertise. Practising respiratory physicians were sent a survey asking them to indicate their level of agreement with these statements on a binary scale or 7-point Likert scale (- 3 to 3), or to select answers from a list.
Novel research model for in vitro immunotherapy: co-culturing tumor organoids with peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Tumor organoids have emerged as powerful tools for in vitro cancer research due to their ability to retain the structural and genetic characteristics of tumors. Nevertheless, the absence of a complete tumor microenvironment (TME) limits the broader application of organoid models in immunological studies. Given the critical role of immune cells in tumor initiation and progression, the co-culture model of organoids and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) may provide an effective platform for simulating the interactions between immune and tumor cells in vitro.

Background: Blood pressure (BP) is linearly related to the incidence of cardiovascular disease from values as low as 115/75mmHg, even at young ages. A particularly concerning issue is the decrease representation of optimal BP among children and youth. The mechanisms by which minimal elevations in BP increase cardiovascular risk are not defined.

Background/aim: Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard strategy after induction therapy for newly diagnosed transplant-eligible multiple myeloma. High-dose melphalan (HDM) conditioning has been the recommended treatment regimen for a long time. No other conditioning regimen has been proven safer and more effective.

Background: Asian Indians are susceptible to developing type 2 diabetes at a lower age and often consume diets that are high in glycemic load and low in healthy fats.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of 30 g prebreakfast and 30 g predinner supplementation of pistachios for 12 wk on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), other glycemic markers, anthropometry, and lipid profile of Asian Indians with prediabetes.
Methods: In a 12-wk parallel arm, randomized controlled trial, we recruited 120 participants with prediabetes based on American Diabetes Association criteria.
