Potential of the postoperative lymphocyte-to-monocyte and monocyte-to-red blood cell ratio in predicting locoregional and distant metastases after breast cancer resection - Retrospective study
CONCLUSION: Our results revealed that both postoperative LMR and MRR are independent predictors of DFS in breast cancer patients. Large-scale prospective investigations are needed to validate our findings.PMID:38394965 | DOI:10.1016/j.advms.2024.02.006 (Source: Advances in Medical Sciences)

Metformin improves d-galactose induced premature ovarian insufficiency through PI3K-Akt-FOXO3a pathway
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that MET partially rescued ovarian dysfunction and apoptosis induced by d-galactose via a mechanism involving PI3K-Akt-FOXO3a pathway. Our finding proposed that MET may be a promising alternative treatment for POI.PMID:38387407 | DOI:10.1016/j.advms.2024.02.004 (Source: Advances in Medical Sciences)

Can non-invasive cardiac hemodynamics and fluid content system (NICaS) parameters predict Acute Heart Failure outcomes in Caucasian and Asian patients in the emergency department?
CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that NICaS technology offers a simple, non-invasive, and reliable method of assessing cardiac hemodynamics and congestion in AHF patients. These measurements may enhance diagnosis, tailor management plans, stratify risk, and predict outcomes in both Caucasian and Asian patients.PMID:38387408 | DOI:10.1016/j.advms.2024.02.005 (Source: Advances in Medical Sciences)

The association between growth differentiation factor 15 and presence and severity of coronary atherosclerosis
CONCLUSION: GDF-15 is an independent predictor of CAD and is associated with CAD severity in terms of SYNTAX, SYNTAX II PCI and SYNTAX II CABG scores.PMID:38368744 | DOI:10.1016/j.advms.2024.02.003 (Source: Advances in Medical Sciences)

Transcriptome profiling as a biological marker for bipolar disorder sub-phenotypes
CONCLUSIONS: The most specific transcriptome profile was revealed in BP with psychotic symptoms. Differentially expressed genes in this variant include, among others, genes involved in inflammatory and immune processes. It might suggest the overlap of biological background between BP with a history of psychotic features and schizophrenia.PMID:38368745 | DOI:10.1016/j.advms.2024.02.002 (Source: Advances in Medical Sciences)

Changes in arterial pH do not explain the reductions in ionised calcium observed during COVID-19 infection
CONCLUSION: Reduction in iCa concentration in patients with COVID-19 is not associated with pH derangement. Influenza infection was associated with a minor reduction in iCa in our small sample, a hitherto unreported finding, although statistical significance was not demonstrated.PMID:38364757 | DOI:10.1016/j.advms.2024.02.001 (Source: Advances in Medical Sciences)
