The Influence of CD40/CD40L, MMP2/MMP9 on Uterine Artery Blood Flow and Their Expression in Recurrent Miscarriage
CONCLUSION: Serum levels of sCD40L, MMP2, and MMP9, along with non-invasive and easily accessible indicators such as PI and RI in uterine artery blood flow measured by ultrasound, emerge as potential predictive markers for the outcome of recurrent miscarriage pregnancies. Moreover, these indicators can serve as valuable evaluation markers in clinical practice, facilitating the monitoring of treatment effectiveness for recurrent miscarriage.PMID:38581334 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)

Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Treating Psoriatic Arthritis
CONCLUSIONS: The polyhedral clinical expression of PsA underlines the need for a multidisciplinary approach combining the synergistic effects of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. The latter range from preventive measures, like dietary modifications, weight loss, and cigarette smoking cessation, to personalized training protocols according to disease activity and phenotype, comorbidities, and individual tolerability. In these patients, we strongly encourage the regular practice of motor activity at progressively increasing intensity with combined supervised aerobic, strength, endurance, and stretching exer...

The 34-year-old patient presented with cough and hemoptysis. The diagnosis was challenging due to the absence of gynecological abnormalities and elevated β-HCG levels, only revealing a cardiac mass upon imaging. While no abnormalities were found through gynecological ultrasound or gynecological examination, the serum human chorionic gonadotropin β subunit (β-HCG) lev...
