Unbalanced T-cell subsets in pediatric patients with beta-thalassemia
CONCLUSION: Patients with beta-thalassemia have functionally distinct CD4 and CD8 T cell subsets imbalances, and this may contribute to their high susceptibility to infections and immune dysregulation.PMID:36604193 | DOI:10.1016/j.humimm.2022.12.003 (Source: Human Immunology)

The co-effect of sensate focus technique and sexual position changing on sexual function of women who use medical treatment for endometriosis
This study aimed to investigate the effect of sensate focus technique and sexual position changing on sexual function of women who used medical treatment for endometriosis. This clinical trial study was performed on 80 women who used medical treatment for endometriosis. Women were randomly assigned to two groups: in the intervention group, 2 h of verbal educational session were held and at the end of the session, an instruction booklet about sensate focus technique was given to them, the control group received routine treatment. The sexual function and the dyspareunia of the participants were evaluated after 4 and 8 weeks....

Metabolic switch in cancer – Survival of the fittest
Cell metabolism is characterised by the highly coordinated conversion of nutrients into energy and biomass. In solid cancers, hypoxia, nutrient deficiencies, and tumour vasculature are incompatible with accelerated anabolic growth and require a rewiring of cancer cell metabolism. Driver gene mutations direct malignant cells away from oxidation to maximise energy production and biosynthesis while tumour-secreted factors degrade peripheral tissues to fuel disease progression and initiate metastasis.

Tin from Uluburun shipwreck shows small-scale commodity exchange fueled continental tin supply across Late Bronze Age Eurasia
Sci Adv. 2022 Dec 2;8(48):eabq3766. doi: 10.1126/sciadv.abq3766. Epub 2022 Nov 30.ABSTRACTThis paper provides the first comprehensive sourcing analysis of the tin ingots carried by the well-known Late Bronze Age shipwreck found off the Turkish coast at Uluburun (ca. 1320 BCE). Using lead isotope, trace element, and tin isotope analyses, this study demonstrates that ores from Central Asia (Uzbekistan and Tajikistan) were used to produce one-third of the Uluburun tin ingots. The remaining two-thirds were derived from the Taurus Mountains of Turkey, namely, from stream tin and residual low-grade mineralization remaining after...

Mechanistic Observation of Interactions between Macrophages and Inorganic Particles with Different Densities
This work provides a study for understanding the mechanistic interactions between particles of different densities and the mobility of macrophages to conclude that the particles ’ densities can affect the migratory behaviors of macrophages: the higher the density of particles engulfed inside the macrophages, the less mobile the macrophages become. AbstractMany different types of inorganic materials are processed into nano/microparticles for medical utilization. The impact of selected key characteristics of these particles, including size, shape, and surface chemistries, on biological systems, is frequently studied in cli...

Quantitative evaluation of Zindagii Shoista (Living with Dignity) intervention to prevent violence against women in Tajikistan
CONCLUSIONS: The quantitative findings are confirmed by the findings of the qualitative research and monitoring data. They demonstrate that Zindagii Shoista is a very promising intervention for strengthening gender relations, reducing IPV, and improving mental health and socio-economic circumstances for younger married women and their families in Tajikistan.PMID:36441089 | DOI:10.1080/16549716.2022.2122994 (Source: Global Health Action)

Refining the upper limit of normal for the ascending aorta: In search of optimal criteria -- a large database study of normal individuals
CONCLUSIONS: The lowest prevalence of 7.6% probably represents the optimal cutoff for dilated mAA because it includes age, which explains most of the variation in mAA, in narrow (10 year) intervals only performed in our normals, which represents the largest sample size to date.PMID:36412136 | DOI:10.1177/17085381221140171 (Source: Vascular)
