Vitis vinifera extracts have been shown to possess antioxidant activity because of their polyphenol content. In addition, therapeutic potential against several diseases, including cancer, has reported. this study, we produced twelve from the seeds, fruit, leaves, and wood Airen variety using different extraction methodologies measured total content (TPC). We also determined antiproliferative effects normal cells evaluated most potent extract a panel breast cancer cell lines. found that by...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic endocrine disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels, impacting millions of people globally. Its management requires intensive insulin therapy, frequent monitoring, and lifestyle adjustments. The accurate prediction the short-term course levels in subcutaneous space T1D people, as measured continuous monitoring (CGM) system, essential for improving control avoiding harmful hypoglycaemic hyperglycaemic swings, facilitating precise individualized...

The detection of frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) in an athlete represents one the most important red flags during pre-participation screening. We report case a 6-year-old asymptomatic male practicing basketball and sailing, who was examined for His resting electrocardiogram showed very frequent, isolated, monomorphic PVCs. PVCs exhibited left bundle branch block morphology with inferior axis R/S wave precordial transition lead V3. likely origin considered outflow tract....

Higher frequency of subclinical atherosclerosis has been linked with androgen levels in postmenopausal women. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are well-recognized atherogenic molecules. Therefore, we investigated the association sex steroid and metabolic status serum AGE levels.Serum hormones, fasting glucose, insulin, AGEs were assessed 106 healthy Insulin resistance was estimated by using homeostasis model assessment insulin (HOMA-IR).Women highest testosterone quartile (Q4) had...

Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disorder globally and characterized by skeletal fragility microarchitectural deterioration. Genetic pleiotropy occurs when a single genetic element associated with more than one phenotype. We aimed to identify pleiotropic loci mineral density (BMD) nonbone phenotypes in genome-wide association studies. In discovery stage, NHGRI-EBI Catalog was searched for significant associations (P value < 5 × 10-8), excluding bone-related phenotypes. SNiPA...

Background/Objectives: Obesity and overweight have become increasingly prevalent in different populations of people with type 1 diabetes (PwT1D). This study aimed to assess the effect body weight on glycaemic indices PwT1D. Methods: Adult PwT1D using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) followed up at a regional academic centre were included. Body weight, mass index (BMI), waist circumference, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), standard CGM recorded. Glycaemic compared according BMI, correlation...

Glucose prediction is used in diabetes self-management as it allows to take suitable actions for proper glycemic regulation of the patient. The aim this work short-term personalized glucose patients with Type 1 mellitus (T1DM). In scope, we compared two different models, an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model and a long memory (LSTM) horizons. comparison models was performed using evaluation metrics root mean square error (RMSE) absolute (MAE). were trained tested 29 real patients....

PCOS is presented by a broad spectrum of menstrual irregularities appearing often at puberty or later on during the reproductive years in women suffering from this multifaceted syndrome. To our knowledge, there no evidence to suggest whether time onset (peri post pubertal) indicates differential metabolic and/or hormonal profile as well ovarian ultrasonographic findings, adulthood with PCOS.To compare anthropometric, hormonal-metabolic and ultrasound findings peripubertal disorders...
