Clinical, Journal: Quinagolide vaginal ring for reduction of endometriotic lesions: Results from the QLARITY trial. (Pubmed Central) - May 21, 2025 P2 Our primary analysis showed no significant difference between treatment groups in terms of change in total lesion size. Many patients in this study presented with advanced disease, which may be less responsive to quinagolide than highly vascularized superficial lesions, as quinagolide inhibits the VEGF signaling pathway.

Our analysis spans multiple omics disciplines, including genomics, transcriptomics (both bulk RNA and single-cell RNA sequencing), proteomics, microbiomics, and metabolomics, with particular emphasis on the impact of models integrating multiple omics datasets. Additionally, to further the field of precision medicine, we evaluated specific biomarkers that may exhibit distinct effects on responses to multiple therapeutic interventions.

Preclinical, Journal: Chemotherapy-induced diminished murine ovarian reserve model and impact of low-dose chemotherapy on fertility. (Pubmed Central) - May 17, 2025 We successfully established a chemotherapy-induced DOR model using 12 mg/kg of Bu + 120 mg/kg of Cy, as evidenced by lower, but not completely depleted, follicle numbers and fewer retrieved embryos. Histologic study of ovarian tissue exposed to DOR-inducing chemotherapy revealed that surviving follicles were of the similar quality as tissue not exposed to chemotherapy.

Journal: Obstetric Use of Prostaglandin Preparations Compared to Mechanical Methods for Cervical Ripening in Pregnancies With Premature Rupture of Membranes at Term. (Pubmed Central) - May 14, 2025 Background We examined the difference in obstetric outcomes between the cases using dinoprostone and those using mechanical methods in pregnant women requiring cervical ripening following premature rupture of the membranes (PROMs) at term...The clinical intrauterine infection in the cases of the mechanical methods group occurred more than 2 days after the start of cervical ripening; however, there was no case of neonatal infection in the two groups. Conclusions There were differences in the characteristics of the effects between the two methods in pregnant women with PROM who have an unfavorable cervix; however, there were no differences in the final perinatal outcome.

- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Novel Small-Molecule Treatment and Emerging Biological Therapy for Psoriasis. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 29, 2025
There are many types of drugs to treat psoriasis: small-molecule drugs, including corticosteroids; retinoids; vitamin D analogs; and immunosuppressants, such as glucocorticoid ointment, tretinoin cream, methotrexate tablets, etc. Macromolecular biological drugs, such as Certolizumab, Secukinumab, Guselkumab, etc., include monoclonal antibodies that target various inflammatory signaling pathways...Spesolimab is the latest biological agent used to target the interleukin-36 receptor (IL-36R) to be approved for market use, which significantly reduces the risk of general pustular psoriasis (GPP) flare by 84%...In this review, we analyze the current status of psoriasis therapeutics and discuss novel delivery systems for diverse psoriasis drugs, as well as emerging cell-based therapies. We also summarize the therapeutic effectiveness of different delivery strategies.

Preclinical, Journal: Association of Labor-Related Medications With Molar Hypomineralization: An Experimental Study in Rats. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 29, 2025 Significant differences (P<0.001) were found in magnesium and phosphorus levels in the group administered pethidine and haloperidol, indicating a significant impact on the mineral composition of teeth. The results suggest that medications administered during delivery could influence dental mineralization, potentially contributing to the development of molar hypomineralization.

(Pubmed Central) - Apr 21, 2025 The official FMT recommendation for recurrent CDI is emphasised from the perspective of public health, with the argument that early implementation could limit antibiotic overuse and prevent antibiotic resistance. Initiatives like the Universal Stool Bank concept aim to streamline donor selection and distribution procedures to minimise operational restrictions.

Journal: Therapeutic potential of GNRHR analogs and SRC/FAK inhibitors to counteract tumor growth and metastasis in breast cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 13, 2025 Combining DEGA with PP2 or FAKi enhanced tumor inhibition, improving mice survival. These findings provide valuable insights into the essential regulatory role of gonadotropins in genes involved in tumorigenic processes, highlighting the potential of GnRHR antagonists combined with Src or FAK inhibitors as a promising strategy to develop new drugs that interfere with the ability of breast tumor progression.

Observational data, Journal: Nulliparous Women's Experience in the Immediate Postpartum Period After Cervical Ripening According to the Method: A Prospective Observational Study. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 12, 2025 A prospective observational study included 340 nulliparous women with a singleton fetus in cephalic presentation and cervical ripening at term (?37 weeks) for maternal and/or fetal disease using a cervical ripening balloon (CRB, 33.8%), dinoprostone vaginal insert (PG, 32.7%), oral misoprostol (M, 3.8%), or repeated methods (R, 29.7%)...After adjustment, maternal experience and childbirth were similar between methods used alone for cervical ripening. Nulliparous women who required repeated methods for cervical ripening at term had significantly worse experiences of ripening and childbirth in the immediate postpartum period compared to PG, CRB, or M used alone, regardless of the mode of delivery and maternal and neonatal morbidity.
