The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of head-up tilt (HUT) test on male and female young patients, diagnosed with orthostatic intolerance (OI), in comparison to male and female healthy subjects. Twenty seven OI patients (21 women, 6 men) and 26 age-matched healthy subjects (13 women, 13 men) were enrolled in a 70° HUT test. In addition to hemodynamic variables, cardiovascular and respiratory parameters were determined using linear and nonlinear methods to analyze heart rate (HRV) and blood pressure variability (BPV). During the complete test, HRV was lower in healthy men than in female controls. Decreased HRV and increased BPV were observed in female patients compared to healthy women. Furthermore, systolic BPV was increased in male and female patients. However, linear (rmssd) and nonlinear (plvar2) parameters indicated that diastolic BPV decreased in male patients during orthostatic phase, but remained unchanged in female patients. Findings indicated gender dependent mechanisms for the regulation of diastolic blood pressure during orthostatic stress in patients.

Importance: Clinical trials are vital for advancing cancer treatments and improving patient outcomes. Understanding the factors that influence participants' decision-making is critical for enhancing trial recruitment.
Objective: To evaluate the attitudes of patients with cancer and their relatives toward clinical trial participation, identifying key barriers and motivators that affect their willingness to engage in such trials.
Effects of variable mating opportunity, delay, and male mating experience on the lifespan, female reproductive traits, and offspring traits of Phytoseiulus persimilis (Acari: Phytoseiidae).

The balance between mating benefits and costs shapes reproductive strategies and life history traits across animal species. For biological control programs, understanding how mating rates influence life history traits is essential for optimising population management and enhancing predator efficacy. This study investigates the impact of mating opportunity availability, delayed mating, and male mating history (copulation frequency) on the lifespan (both sexes), female reproductive traits (duration of oviposition and of pre- and post-oviposition periods, and lifetime oviposition), and offspring quality (egg size and offspring survival) of the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae), an important biological control agent against spider mites.

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the current status of lipid-lowering therapy utilization and lipid goal attainment in women. We focus on lipid-lowering therapy in individuals with and without established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, as well as familial hypercholesterolemia. Additionally, this review aims to explore the underlying mechanisms driving these sex differences and to identify existing knowledge gaps in this area.

Purpose: The greater palatine foramen (GPF) represents the inferior opening of the greater palatine canal and is located posterolaterally on both sides of the hard palate. The aim of this study is to morphometrically characterise the GPF and to determine its anatomical relationships in a Portuguese population.
Methods: A retrospective study was performed based on the clinical records which included all permanent teeth erupted and a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of the entire maxilla.
Dermatologists' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding omalizumab therapy for chronic urticaria.

Department of dermatology, Lishui Central Hospital, Lishui, 323000, China.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate dermatologists' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) concerning omalizumab therapy for chronic urticaria. We conducted a cross-sectional study in several hospitals in China, mainly in hospitals in Zhejiang Province, during August 1, 2024 - August 15, 2024 using a self-administered KAP questionnaire. Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney tests and Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance were performed to compare differences across groups Factors influencing practice were determined through multivariable logistic regression.
