Intraventricular Hemorrhage and Related Hydrocephalus Patients Demographics in a University Hospital NICU: Single-Center Data
CONCLUSION: The permanent CSF diversion rate was significantly higher in the high-grade hemorrhage group, which had significantly lower weight and gestational age at birth. Moreover, only weight at VAD insertion had minimal effect on the need for permanent CSF diversion.PMID:38497181 | DOI:10.5137/1019-5149.JTN.43279-22.1 (Source: Turkish Neurosurgery)

Pulmonary Hypertension in Women
Methodist Debakey Cardiovasc J. 2024 Mar 14;20(2):70-80. doi: 10.14797/mdcvj.1308. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare devastating disease characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure and increased pulmonary vascular resistance. Females have a higher incidence of PAH, which is reflected globally across registries in the United States, Europe, and Asia. However, despite female predominance, women had better outcomes compared with male patients, a finding that has been labeled the "estrogen paradox." Special considerations should be given to women with PAH regarding sexual health, ...

In vitro inhibition of uterine contractions using electrospun nanofibers loaded with nifedipine and ML7
CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that human uterine contractions can be inhibited using calcium channel blocker (nifedipine) and myosin light chain kinase inhibitor (ML7) loaded nanofibers in uterine tissue strips. These results strongly suggested the potential for the development of locally effective and safe controlled drug release systems to prevent premature birth.PMID:38497872 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35603 (Source: European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences)
