B cells are vital for the normal evolution of pregnancy due to their humoral and possible regulatory activities. Our group others have documented that circulating B-cell subsets undergo changes from late postpartum period. However, underlying mechanisms poorly understood. Therefore, this study examined degree activation in by analyzing levels serum markers healthy pregnant women during third trimester pregnancy, day delivery, period.A prospective including non-pregnant attending routine care...
Abstract Sociocultural gender is a complex construct encompassing different aspects of individuals’ life, whereas sex refers to biological factors. These terms are often misused, although they impact differently on health. Recognizing the role and health status fundamental in pursuit personalized medicine. Aim current study was investigate awareness approaching clinical research questions among European internists. Clinicians affiliated with Federation Internal Medicine from 33 countries...
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with multisystemic manifestations, including central nervous system involvement. Chorea a hyperkinetic movement disorder, characterized by involuntary, dance-like and poorly coordinated movements. Acute-onset chorea rare neuropsychiatric inaugural manifestation of SLE. This presentation frequently associated positive antiphospholipid antibodies, it usually improves immunosuppressive treatment. We report the case 20-year-old female,...
Approximately 10% of patients experience symptoms Post COVID-19 Condition (PCC) after a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Akin acute COVID-19, PCC may impact multitude organs and systems, such as the cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, neurological systems. The frequency associated risk factors are still unclear among both community hospital settings in individuals with history COVID-19. LOCUS study was designed to clarify PCC’s burden factors. is multi-component that encompasses three...
Highly Ordered Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) has been extensively researched due to its chemical and physical properties that make it suitable for applications in several technologies. Its high thermal conductivity makes HOPG an excellent heat sink, a crucial characteristic manufacturing targets used nuclear reactions, such as those proposed by the NUMEN project. However, when subjected different radiation sources, this material undergoes changes crystalline structure, which alters intended...

Primary hyperparathyroidism consists of a dysregulated production parathyroid hormone that results in abnormal calcium homeostasis. It is mostly detected the asymptomatic phase; however, presentation may include broad spectrum clinical manifestations. We describe case 67-year-old female patient with previous history bipolar disorder and several vascular risk factors who presented generalized muscular weakness, anorexia weight loss, polydipsia, nausea, constipation mental confusion...
