Are maternal serum subfatin levels altered in women with one abnormal glucose tolerance test value?
Subfatin, a newly discovered adipokine, plays a pivotal role in the regulation of glucose metabolism. The relationship between gestational diabetes mellitus and maternal dyslipidemia is well-documented. ⋯ Serum subfatin levels in women with one abnormal abnormal glucose tolerance test value are compared to those in the control group, while the triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio is significantly altered in women with one abnormal abnormal glucose tolerance test value when compared to the control group.

Homologous recombination deficiency gene panel analysis results in synchronous endometrial and ovarian cancers.
The objective of this study was to analyze the genetic alterations of tumors within the scope of the homologous recombination deficiency gene panel in patients diagnosed with synchronous endometrial ovarian cancer who have been followed for over 5 years using next-generation sequencing. ⋯ Pathogenic variations confirming the diagnosis of synchronous endometrial ovarian cancer with genetic alterations were identified in all but one case. ATM gene mutation emerged as the most common alteration and has a potential association with a favorable prognosis.

Determinants of anemia among pregnant women attending a tertiary hospital, Mogadishu, Somalia: unmatched case-control study.
The objective of this study was to identify the factors associated with anemia among pregnant women attending a tertiary referral hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia. ⋯ This study demonstrated that women who consumed green vegetables such as spinach, bukurey, cagaar, and koomboow in their diet had middle-upper arm circumference less than 23 cm, and those with low dietary diversity significantly developed anemia during pregnancy.

The role of circulating miRNAs in the diagnosis of osteoporosis miRNAs in osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis, defined as a systemic skeletal disease, is characterized by increased bone fragility and fracture risk. Studies have shown that dysregulation of the functions of miRNAs or the mechanisms they mediate may be an important pathological factor in bone degeneration. Therefore, the aim of the study was to determine the role of miRNAs, which are thought to play a role in bone metabolism, in osteoporosis. ⋯ In this study, it was determined that the combined effects of miRNAs, as well as their single effects, were effective in the development of osteoporosis. Therefore, a miRNA panel to be created can make a significant contribution to the development of novel diagnostic and treatment approaches for this disease.
