Low blood pressure (hypotension) is a common condition associated with DS and can have a significant impact on exercise tolerance and quality of life. Little is known about the factors driving this hypotensive phenotype and therefore therapeutic interventions are limited.

In particular, a group of eicosanoids termed prostanoids are involved in multiple physiological processes, such as reproduction and immune responses. Although some eicosanoids such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) have been detected in some insect species, molecular mechanisms of eicosanoid synthesis and signal transduction in insects have been poorly investigated.

Background: Refractory epilepsy poses significant challenges in clinical management due to its resistance to standard antiepileptic therapies, necessitating the exploration of more effective treatment regimens. Lamotrigine, with its proven efficacy and tolerability, offers potential benefits when combined with traditional medications like valproate, though its comprehensive impact on clinical outcomes and neurological markers requires further study.
Objective: To analyze the improvement effect of combined application of lamotrigine on refractory epilepsy patients and its impact on patients' EEG and neurological function.

Background Hysteroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure for diagnosing and treating intrauterine pathologies, can be challenging due to inadequate cervical dilation, leading to procedural difficulties and patient discomfort. Misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog, is increasingly used for cervical ripening to ease hysteroscopic procedures. Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of misoprostol for cervical ripening prior to hysteroscopy.
