Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) administered to CBA female mice provoked a significant uterine weight increase and pseudoestrus comparable to that produced by diethylstilbestrol (DES) used in a positive control.

Comparison of Catheter Ablation in Patients with Paroxysmal Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction.
Int J Med Sci

The efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has been established, but the efficacy and safety of cryoballoon ablation (CBA) and pulsed field ablation (PFA) remain unclear. This retrospective cohort study included 223 patients with paroxysmal non-valvular AF and HFpEF who underwent their first AF ablation between January 2017 and December 2021 and were divided into RFA (n = 77), CBA (n = 127), and PFA (n = 19) groups. After a mean follow-up of 11.

Circadian rhythm disruption (CRD), stemming from sleep disorders and/or shift work, is a risk factor for reproductive dysfunction. CRD has been reported to disturb nocturnal melatonin signaling, which plays a crucial role in female reproduction as a circadian regulator and an antioxidant. The hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis regulates female reproduction, with luteinizing hormone (LH) pulse pattern playing a pivotal role in folliculogenesis and steroidogenesis.

Article Synopsis
- This research investigates the potential biomarkers and metabolic changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with autoimmune encephalitis (AE) compared to healthy controls.
- A total of 21 potential biomarkers were identified, with elevated levels of pyruvic and oxoglutaric acids, pointing to a dysregulated TCA cycle in AE patients.
- Additionally, the study highlights differences in unsaturated fatty acid metabolism, indicating that these metabolic pathways may play a significant role in understanding the pathology of AE.
Deep Learning-Based Prediction of Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease With the Ensemble Channel Selection Approach.

Purpose: A debilitating and poorly understood symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) is freezing of gait (FoG), which increases the risk of falling. Clinical evaluations of FoG, relying on patients' subjective reports and manual examinations by specialists, are unreliable, and most detection methods are influenced by subject-specific factors.
Method: To address this, we developed a novel algorithm for detecting FoG events based on movement signals.
Effects of exercise on vascular remodelling and fetal growth in uncomplicated and abortion-prone mouse pregnancies.

Studies in humans and rodents show exercise in pregnancy can modulate maternal blood pressure, vascular volume, and placental efficiency, but whether exercise affects early uteroplacental vascular adaptations is unknown. To investigate this, CBA/J female mice mated with BALB/c males to generate healthy uncomplicated pregnancies (BALB/c-mated) or mated with DBA/2J males to generate abortion-prone pregnancies (DBA/2J-mated), were subjected to treadmill exercise (5 days/week, 10 m/min, 30 min/day for 6 weeks before and throughout pregnancy), or remained sedentary. In uncomplicated pregnancies, exercise caused symmetric fetal growth restriction in fetuses evidenced by reductions in fetal weight, crown-to-rump length, abdominal girth and biparietal diameter.
