We aimed to evaluate the role of thyroid autoantibodies (TAA) on the outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (ICSI-ET). A prospective case-control study was conducted in the in vitro fertilisation (IVF) centre of Suleymaniye Maternity Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey between July 2013 and March 2014. A total of 49 (19.52%) TAA-positive and 202 TAA-negative patients were enrolled. Demographic characteristics and laboratory parameters were recorded. All patients underwent ICSI-ET. Thirty-one TAA-positive patients (32 cycles) and 121 TAA-negative patients (126 cycles) completed the study. Mean female age, body mass index (BMI), type of infertility, duration of infertility, antral follicle count (AFC), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), basal follicle stimulating hormone (bFSH), luteinising hormone (bLH), and oestradiol (bE2), prolactin and thyroid hormone profiles, male age and aetiology of infertility of both groups were similar (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference between groups in terms of duration and dose of gonadotropin (Gn) therapy, day of human chorionic Gn (hCG) administration, serum E2 and progesterone levels, number of collected oocytes, ratio of fertilisation, number of available embryos, positive pregnancy test, biochemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, ratio of miscarriage and ongoing pregnancy (p > 0.05). In conclusion, we failed to demonstrate a significant role of TAA on the outcomes of ICSI-ET in euthyroid patients. Further studies with larger numbers of participants are required to clarify these data.

Background: The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the impact of mental health disorders (MHDs) on the clinical and functional outcomes following total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) for the treatment of end-stage ankle arthritis.
Methods: A systematic review of the EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted in April 2024 following PRISMA guidelines. Data collected included patient demographics, clinical outcomes, complications, and failures.
Design Rational for Total Ankle Arthroplasty: An Update.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg

From the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC (Gross and Scott), the University of California Irvine, Orange, CA (Hsu), and the Palomar Health Medical Group, San Diego, CA (Palanca).
The design of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) systems is rapidly evolving as device companies try to keep pace with the expansion of surgical indications and a refinement of techniques for TAA. Even since the publication of the latest "update," published in 2018, three new designs and three updates on preexisting third-generation implants came onto the market. Improvements in third-generation TAA systems include minimal bone resection, retaining ligamentous support, and anatomic balancing.

Outcomes in TAA are influenced by factors like age, sex, and comorbidities such as hypertension. This study examines mortality trends and disparities associated with TAA in US adults.

Objective: Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA) represents an aortic pathology that is caused by the deranged integrity of the three layers of the aortic wall, and is related to severe morbidity and mortality. Consequently, it is crucial to identify the biomarkers implicated in the pathogenesis and biology of TAA. The aim of the current computational study was to assess the differential gene expression profile of the gap junction proteins (GJPs) in patients with TAA in order to identify novel potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Background And Aim: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a complex neurological disorder in individuals with liver diseases, necessitating effective neuroprotective interventions to alleviate its adverse outcomes. Berberine (BBR), a natural compound with well-established anti-fibrotic and neuroprotective properties, has not been extensively studied in the context of glial activation under hyperammonaemic conditions. This study evaluates the neuroprotective potential of BBR in a thioacetamide (TAA)-induced HE rat model, focusing on its effects on glial activation and NLRP3 inflammasome signalling.
