Distinct Clinical Presentations of Vein of Galen Aneurysmal Malformation: A Case Series.

We present two cases of vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation, detected in early life, with differing outcomes. This suggests that early detection of this malformation in fetuses or neonates does not necessarily indicate a poor prognosis, highlighting the need for vigilant monitoring and timely intervention to optimize outcomes.

The effect of Myo-inositol on improving sperm quality and IVF outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Myo-inositol may be efficient to improve sperm parameters to increase the chance of fertility. Although, the data are controversial. This study aimed to assess the impact of Myo-inositol supplements on semen quality and in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes.

White matter correlates of impulsive behavior in healthy individuals: A diffusion magnetic resonance imaging study.

Aim: To explore white matter (WM) tracts linked to impulsivity using the diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (DMRI) connectometry method.

Methods: We analyzed 218 healthy participants from the Leipzig Study for Mind-Body-Emotion Interactions database. Impulsivity correlations with DMRI-derived WM changes were assessed using Urgency-Premeditation-Perseverance-Sensation (UPPS) Impulsive Behavior Scale subscales: lack of perseverance (PE), lack of premeditation (PM), sensation seeking (SS), and negative urgency.

Cross-cultural adaptation and measurement properties of the Persian version of the modified Cincinnati knee rating system.

Purpose: To validate and assess the cross-sectional adaptation of the modified Cincinnati knee rating system (MCRKS) Persian translation.

Methods: To assess test-pretest reliability, 102 participants were asked to fill out the MCRKS (Per) scale after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. Internal consistency (Cronbach's ), reliability (intraclass correlation coefficients), construct validity (Pearson's ) and sensitivity (floor/ceiling effect) were determined.

The c.1243T>C mutation in the gene is linked with inherited protein C deficiency and severe purpura fulminans.

Purpura fulminans is a severe coagulation disorder that often leads to death in neonates. Mutations in the protein C (PROC) gene can cause protein C deficiency, leading to this disorder. This study aimed to investigate a family with a history of coagulopathies, particularly those related to protein C deficiency.

Lipid profile, ox-LDL, and LCAT activity in patients with endometrial carcinoma and type 2 diabetes: The effect of concurrent disease based on a case-control study.

Background And Aim: The role of lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in endometrial cancer (EC) or EC with concurrent type 2 diabetes is still unclear. This study investigated the LCAT activity, ox-LDL, and lipid profile in EC patients with or without type 2 diabetes and compared them with healthy individuals and patients with type 2 diabetes alone.

Methods: In this cross-sectional, case-control study, 93 female participants were recruited.

HELLP syndrome complicated by ischemic colitis: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: HELLP syndrome is a complicated disorder associated with many unknown complications, which ischemic colitis might be one of. Timely diagnosis and prompt management with multidisciplinary approach is the key for a favorable outcome.

Abstract: HELLP syndrome is a triad of hemolysis (H), elevated liver enzymes (EL), and low platelet count (LP) which is considered a rare but serious pregnancy complication.
