Early midlife ovarian removal is associated with lower posterior hippocampal function.

Introduction: Women with early bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) have greater Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk than women with spontaneous menopause (SM), but the pathway toward this risk is understudied. Considering associative memory deficits may reflect early signs of AD, we studied how BSO affected brain activity underlying associative memory.

Methods: Early midlife women with BSO (with and without 17β-estradiol therapy [ET]) and age-matched controls (AMCs) with intact ovaries completed a face-name associative memory task during functional magnetic resonance imaging.

A Prospective Evaluation of Chemokine Receptor-4 (CXCR4) Overexpression in High-grade Glioma Using Ga-Pentixafor (Pars-Cixafor™) PET/CT Imaging.

Background: While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains the gold standard for morphological imaging, its ability to differentiate between tumor tissue and treatment-induced changes on the cellular level is insufficient. Notably, glioma cells, particularly glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), demonstrate overexpression of chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4). This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of non-invasive Ga-Cixafor™ PET/CT as a tool to improve diagnostic accuracy in patients with high-grade glioma.

Development of a natural rubber latex-based biodevice with mesenchymal stem cells as a potential treatment for skeletal muscle regeneration in gestational diabetes-induced myopathy.

GDiM is characterized by significant pelvic floor skeletal muscle atrophy and urinary incontinence. This study aimed to develop a natural rubber latex (NRL) based biodevice with mesenchymal/stromal stem cells (MSCs) for skeletal muscle regeneration for women with GDiM.

Recreational and Occupational Physical Activity and Risk of Adverse Events in Truncating Founder Variant Carriers.

Background: founder variants cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy leading to heart failure and malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Exercise is typically regarded as a risk factor for disease expression although evidence is conflicting. Stratifying by type of exercise may discriminate low- from high-risk activities in these patients.

Novel risk predictor of arrhythmias for patients with potassium channel-related congenital long QT syndrome.

Background: Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is characterized by delayed ventricular repolarization, predisposing to potentially lethal ventricular arrhythmias. The variability in disease severity among patients remains largely unexplored, underscoring the limitations of current risk stratification methods.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the potential utility of electrocardiographic markers from the exercise stress test (EST) in identifying patients with high-risk LQTS.

Comparative iron management in hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients: a systematic review.

Background: Patients with kidney failure undergoing dialysis often suffer from anemia. Iron deficiency, along with a shortage in erythropoietin, is a common cause. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients may have a different iron metabolism compared to hemodialysis (HD) patients.

Biosynthesis of Antimicrobial Ornithine-Containing Lacticin 481 Analogues by Use of a Combinatorial Biosynthetic Pathway in .

Lacticin 481, a ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP), exhibits antimicrobial activity, for which its characteristic lanthionine and methyllanthionine ring structures are essential. The post-translational introduction of (methyl)lanthionines in lacticin 481 is catalyzed by the enzyme LctM. In addition to macrocycle formation, various other post-translational modifications can enhance and modulate the chemical and functional diversity of antimicrobial peptides.

The potential inhibitory mechanism of EGCG against the Chikungunya virus targeting non-structural protein 2 through molecular dynamics simulation.
