AI Article Synopsis
- The American College of Cardiology's recent survey involved 2,313 cardiologists, revealing a decrease in response rates and an aging workforce with more professionals moving away from private practice compared to past decades.
- Women doctors are primarily found in academic settings and pediatric cardiology roles, while men report increased family responsibilities affecting their careers; however, women are less likely to marry or have children.
- Both genders express high career satisfaction, with women reporting even higher levels, but two-thirds of women face discrimination—almost three times the rate observed in men—indicating ongoing personal and professional disparities despite some improvements.
Article Abstract
The American College of Cardiology third decennial Professional Life Survey was completed by 2,313 cardiologists: 964 women (42%) and 1,349 men (58%). Compared with 10 and 20 years ago, current results reflect a substantially lower response rate (21% vs. 31% and 49%, respectively) and an aging workforce that is less likely to be in private practice. Women continue to be more likely to practice in academic centers, be pediatric cardiologists, and have a noninvasive subspecialty. Men were more likely to indicate that family responsibilities negatively influenced their careers than previously, whereas women remained less likely to marry or have children. Men and women reported similar, high levels of career satisfaction, with women reporting higher satisfaction currently. However, two-thirds of women continue to experience discrimination, nearly 3 times the rate in men. Personal life choices continue to differ substantially for men and women in cardiology, although differences have diminished.

Dual-Double Stem Cell Ovarian Therapy: A Comprehensive Approach in Regenerative Medicine.
Int J Mol Sci

Clinic of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Diseases of National Center for Infertility and Endocrinology of Gender, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia.
Dual-double stem cell therapy, which integrates mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), represents a cutting-edge approach in regenerative medicine, particularly for conditions such as ovarian decline, premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), and induced ovarian failure. This therapy leverages the unique properties of MSCs and HSCs, enhancing tissue repair, immune modulation, and overall regenerative outcomes. MSCs, known for their ability to differentiate into various cell types, provide a supportive microenvironment and secrete bioactive molecules that promote angiogenesis and reduce inflammation.
