Introduction: The objective of the paper is to evaluate the influence of the body mass index (BMI) on selected parameters of the coagulation system in patients with disorders of the balance system taking oral contraceptives.
Material And Methods: 105 young women participated in the study who were divided into 2 groups. Group I: 52 women disorders of the balance system taking hormonal contraceptives for at least 2 months, between the age of 20-49; Group II: 53 women with no disorders of the balance system taking hormonal contraceptives for at least 2 months, between the age of 18-40. Patients entering the study underwent full otoneurological examination, detailed laryngological assessment and the examination of selected parameters of the hemostasis system, including the evaluation of fibrinogen and D-dimer levels, APTT and PT, estradiol and progesterone concentrations in the blood serum and evaluation of the body mass index (BMI).
Results: Central vertigo was the most common type of vertigo in the study group (59,6% of cases). Other vertigo types in this group included compensated vertigo of mixed origin (36,6% of cases) and peripheral vertigo (only 3,8% of cases), which indicates that 40.4% of the cases suffer from damage to the labyrinth. The analysis of the concentration of estradiol in the blood serum revealed, after consideration of a menstrual cycle phase, that estradiol concentration exceeded normative values significantly more often in the study group than in the control group and that estradiol concentration was significantly less frequently below the norm in the study group; the difference was statistically significant (p=0,048). The body mass index (BMI) of women participating in the study significantly correlated with the concentration of D-dimers only in the study group (p=0,35 vs p=0,012).
Conclusions: Evaluating the body mass index before administering hormonal contraception can be useful to eliminate other risk factors for thromboembolism. In order to prevent potential thromboembolism episodes, administering hormonal contraception only after lowering the body mass index may also be worth considering.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) with onset in youth may be more consequential for adverse outcomes than that detected later in adulthood. Transaminitis in the general population is a marker of the prevalence of MASLD. There are no previous community-based studies in Indian youth assessing the prevalence of transaminitis.

Introduction: Dual tasking (DT) requires individuals to carry out two actions simultaneously, comparable to how the brain can perform a cognitive function while the body is in motion, which eventually enhances human balance. This paper aims to examine and compare the impact of DT on the risk of falling (ROF) among Saudi female students.
Methods: A cross-sectional design was used.

Infiltrating lipid-rich macrophage subpopulations identified as a regulator of increasing prostate size in human benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Introduction: Macrophages exhibit marked phenotypic heterogeneity within and across disease states, with lipid metabolic reprogramming contributing to macrophage activation and heterogeneity. Chronic inflammation has been observed in human benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) tissues, however macrophage activation states and their contributions to this hyperplastic disease have not been defined. We postulated that a shift in macrophage phenotypes with increasing prostate size could involve metabolic alterations resulting in prostatic epithelial or stromal hyperplasia.
