This paper investigates whether glycoprotein 6 () gene polymorphisms are a risk factor for recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in Korean women. Genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and real-time polymerase chain reaction amplification. We identified five polymorphisms in the gene: rs1654410 T>C, rs1671153 T>G, rs1654419 G>A, rs12610286 A>G, and rs1654431 G>A. rs1654410 CC was associated with decreased RPL risk (adjusted odds ratio = 0.292, 95% confidence interval = 0.105-0.815, = 0.019), and recessive genotypes were also significantly associated with decreased RPL risk (adjusted odds ratio = 0.348, 95% confidence interval = 0.128-0.944, = 0.038). rs1654419 GA was associated with decreased RPL risk (adjusted odds ratio = 0.607, 95% confidence interval = 0.375-0.982, = 0.042), and dominant genotypes were significantly associated with decreased RPL risk (adjusted odds ratio = 0.563, 95% confidence interval = 0.358-0.885, = 0.013). Altogether, the genotype frequencies of rs1654410 T>C and rs1654419 G>A were significantly different between RPL patients and control participants. Therefore, although polymorphisms may be useful as biomarkers of RPL, additional studies with heterogeneous cohorts are required to better understand the influence of GP6 and assess its performance as a biomarker.

Objective: We previously documented that exposure to a spectrum of elements is associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is a lack of mechanistic understanding as to how elemental mixtures contribute to the ASD development.
Materials And Methods: Serum and urinary concentrations of 26 elements and six biomarkers of ASD-relevant pathophysiologic pathways including serum HIPK 2, serum p53 protein, urine malondialdehyde (MDA), urine 8-OHdG, serum melatonin, and urine carnitine, were measured in 21 ASD cases and 21 age-matched healthy controls of children aged 6-12 years.

Background: Atherosclerosis, a leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality worldwide, is characterized by dysregulated lipid metabolism and unresolved inflammation. Macrophage-derived foam cell formation and apoptosis contribute to plaque formation and vulnerability. Elevated serum galectin-3 (Gal-3) levels are associated with increased CVD risk, and Gal-3 in plaques is strongly associated with macrophages.

Background: Every year in France, 40% of people aged ≥80 years are hospitalized, with an average length of hospital stay of 25 days and a readmission rate of 14% to 30% within the month following discharge. This situation is putting pressure on the health care system, encouraging the reinforcement of home care to reduce avoidable hospitalization. The EPOCA remote patient monitoring (RPM) system is a medical and social telehealth solution specialized in RPM, teleconsultation, tele-expertise, and care coordination in emergency medicine and geriatrics.

Background: Hospital falls represent a persistent and significant threat to safety within health care systems worldwide, impacting both patient well-being and the occupational health of health care staff. While patient falls are a primary concern, addressing fall risks for all individuals within the health care environment remains a key objective. Caregiver visibility and spatial monitoring are recognized as crucial considerations in mitigating fall-related incidents.

Aim: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its associated risk factors in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent treatment for IBD at Jordan University Hospital between January 2013 and 2022. Case finding methods and clinical chart reviews were used to evaluate the clinical profile of patients with IBD.
