Nanostructured Immunosensors. Application to the detection of Progesterone [PDF]
A novel nanostructured electrochemical immunsensor for the determination of progesterone is reported. The approach combines the properties of gold nanoparticles with the use of a graphite-Teflon composite electrode matrix, into which gold nanoparticles are incorporated by simple physical inclusion.

Exploring The Contribution of Innate Immune Cells to Breast Cancer Immunotherapy [PDF]
Breast cancer is the leading type of cancer in women. About 10-15% of breast cancers are triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a subtype with the worst prognosis. Due to the lack of estrogen, progesterone and HER2 receptor expression, chemotherapies have been the standard of care for decades.

Environmental effects on progesterone profile measures of dairy cow fertility [PDF]
Environmental effects on fertility measures early in lactation, such as the interval from calving to first luteal activity (CLA), proportion of samples with luteal activity during the first 60 days after calving (PLA) and interval to first ovulatory ...

This study aimed to clarify the epidemiology of hemorrhoids by leveraging a comprehensive nationwide healthcare claims database in Japan. By analyzing invasive treatments for hemorrhoids over a 5‐year period (2018–2022), we identified key demographic patterns, including distinct bimodal peaks in incidence among males and females, and highlighted ...

Geodesic Regression Characterizes 3D Shape Changes in the Female Brain During Menstruation [PDF]
Women are at higher risk of Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases after menopause, and yet research connecting female brain health to sex hormone fluctuations is limited. We seek to investigate this connection by developing tools that quantify 3D shape changes that occur in the brain during sex hormone fluctuations.

Solubility improvement of progesterone from solid dispersions prepared by solvent evaporation and co-milling [PDF]
The aim of this contribution was to evaluate the impact of processing methods and polymeric carriers on the physicochemical properties of solid dispersions of the poorly soluble drug progesterone (PG). Five polymers: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC),

ABSTRACT Patients with Turner Syndrome (TS) and those exposed to high concentrations of glucocorticoids have a number of characteristics in common, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Pediatric TS patients underwent studies of salivary cortisol (SC) and cortisone (SCn), body composition, continuous glucose monitoring, vascular ...
