Researchers investigated the influence of sex on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) assessment of left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) in heart failure (HF) diagnosis.

Metformin use linked to reduced risk of myeloproliferative neoplasms

Fri, 05/17/2024 - 12:14
People who use metformin are less likely to develop a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) over time, indicating that the treatment may help prevent the development of certain types of cancers, according to a study published in Blood Advances.

Study reveals lung vascular differences in growth-restricted fetuses

Fri, 05/17/2024 - 12:06
If during a pregnancy a fetus grows below normal thresholds, at each week of gestation there is an increased risk that some of its organs may not develop properly, which can adversely affect the baby's health after birth.

Twendee X shows promise in reducing oxidative stress in systemic sclerosis

Fri, 05/17/2024 - 11:43
Autoimmune diseases occur when the body's immune system attacks healthy cells instead of protecting them.

Proteins in the blood could warn people of cancer more than seven years before it is diagnosed

Fri, 05/17/2024 - 08:49
Stroke is the leading cause of disability worldwide and the second leading cause of death, but the right early intervention can prevent severe consequences.

Genetic variants in XDH and SLC2A9 genes linked to T2DM control in Jordanian population

Fri, 05/17/2024 - 08:26
Announcing a new article publication for BIO Integration journal. This study determines the relationships between uric acid levels, specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes linked to uric acid metabolism [xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) and Solute carrier family 2 member 9 (SLC2A9) genes], and control of HbA1c levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) within the Jordanian population.

The role of follicular fluid glutamine in granulosa cell apoptosis and ovulation

Fri, 05/17/2024 - 08:19
The study found that FSH controls follicular fluid (FF) glutamine levels to determine ovulation. In mice, ovulation starts from FF-exposing granulosa cell (GC) apoptosis. FF glutamine, which decreases in pre-ovulation porcine FF, elevates in PCOS patients FF.
