Elevated levels of Inter-alpha-trypsin-inhibitor heavy chain 4 (ITIH4) have grabbed attention in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis, though its precise mechanisms remain unexplored. To elucidate these mechanisms, a comprehensive strategy employin...

Background: The pathophysiological mechanism underlying pregnancy complications is not entirely known. Although it is currently impossible to predict the occurrence of redox imbalance, it is possible to identify women with a high or medium risk of de...

High systolic blood pressure and increased blood pressure variability after the onset of ischemic stroke are associated with poor clinical outcomes. One of the key determinants of blood pressure is arteriolar size, determined by vascular smooth muscl...

Cathepsin S (CatS) is a proteolytic enzyme and a member of the cysteine protease family of proteolytic enzymes. Cathepsins S, K, and L are particularly similar in terms of their amino acid sequences and interactions with substrates, and this has made...

Wound healing is a complex dynamic biomechanical process as the body attempts to restore the integrity of traumatized or devitalized tissues. There are four stages of wound of healing that begins with hemostasis followed by inflammation, proliferatio...

The assessment of endothelial dysfunction and free radical homeostasis parameters were performed in 92 women, aged 45 to 69 years, divided into the following groups: women without COVID-19 (unvaccinated, no antibodies, control); women with acute phas...

Small GTP-binding proteins of the Rab family regulate intracellular vesicle trafficking across many aspects of the transport system. Among these, Rab9 is recognized for its role in controlling the transport system not only around the trans-Golgi netw...

The present study aims to evaluate the effect of Sepia pharaonis ink on insulin resistance in PCOS-induced mice. Treatment with sepia ink in dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)-induced PCOS mice at various doses of 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, and 200&thins...

Several studies have correlate improved patient outcomes with increased physician–patient contacts, particularly in chronic diseases. Extending this approach to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) care presents a promising means of improving outco...

Background: Surgeons often encounter patients with intestinal failure due to inadequate intestinal length (“short bowel syndrome”/SBS). Treatment in these patients remains challenging and the process of physiologic adaptation may take yea...

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders. Many patients with ASD often show behavioral problems at mealtimes, including food selectivity and atypical feeding behaviors. The Mediterranean die...

Patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) surgery can develop TURP syndrome and post-TURP bleeding. Post-TURP bleeding can be surgical, from arteries or venous sinuses, or non-surgical, due to coagulopathy preventing clot for...

Obesity is a big public health problem that claims several thousand lives every year. Bariatric surgery has arisen as a suitable procedure for treating obesity, particularly morbid obesity. Oxidative stress, genotoxicity, apoptosis, and inflammatory...

The authors would like to make the following corrections to the paper published [...]

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly contributes to acute ischemic stroke, with undetected AF being a common culprit in cryptogenic strokes. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), indicative of myocardial stress, has bee...

Understanding how gut flora interacts with oxidative stress has been the subject of significant research in recent years. There is much evidence demonstrating the existence of the microbiome–oxidative stress interaction. However, the biochemica...
