AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Hypertension is a condition affecting a great number of women, mainly after menopause, with an incidence over 50% up to the sixth decade of life. As in men, hypertension in women involves a great risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, especially from stroke and ischaemic heart disease. A good treatment of high blood pressure has shown a reduction in the number of cardiovascular events, although the results on mortality have not been totally conclusive in the trials conducted up to date. This may be related with the lower number of women included in most of the studies and/or with the lower rate of events in the female population.

This study aimed to identify shared gene expression related to circadian rhythm disruption in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to discover common diagnostic biomarkers. Visceral fat RNA samples were collected from 12 PCOS and 14 non-PCOS patients, a sample size representing the clinical situation and sufficient to capture PCOS gene expression profiles. Along with liver transcriptome profiles from NAFLD patients, these data were analyzed to identify crosstalk circadian rhythm-related genes (CRRGs) between the diseases.

Greater neighborhood disadvantage is associated with poorer global cognition. However, less is known about the variation in the magnitude of neighborhood effects across individual cognitive domains and whether the strength of these associations differs by individual-level factors. The current study investigated these questions in a community sample of older adults ( = 166, mean age = 72.

Background: Preimplantation embryos in vivo are exposed to various growth factors in the female reproductive tract that are absent in in vitro embryo culture media. Cell-free fat extract exerts antioxidant, anti-ageing, and ovarian function-promoting effects. However, its effects on embryo quality are yet to be investigated.
