Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the single most common endocrine-metabolic disorder among reproductive-aged women, characterized by hyperandrogenism (HA), ovulatory dysfunction (IM), and polycystic ovarian morphology (PCO). The antral follicle count (AFC) has been widely used as a diagnostic marker […]

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with low-grade inflammatory response, which was reported to contribute to insulin resistance. Sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, is widely used for glycemic control and has been suggested to exert anti-inflammatory effects.Aims: […]

Background: European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS) 2020 proposed a novel primary chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) phenotype classification. As the endotype and phenotype of primary CRS are highly heterogeneous, clinical evaluation to match these endotypes and corresponding clinical […]

Physical activity (PA) demonstrates its positive long-term effects on physical and mental health and on preventing the onset of non-communicable diseases. However, the short-term effects remain insufficiently studied, particularly in women. Apart from their unique anatomical structure, women exhibit physiological […]

Background: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, rapidly progressive, and universally fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by the accumulation of misfolded prion proteins. Early-stage diagnosis is often delayed due to its initially non-specific presentation and broad differential diagnosis.Case Presentation: We describe […]
