This condition manifests as dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and subfertility. Despite extensive research, the etiology and pathogenesis of endometriosis remain unclear, with laparoscopy being the definitive diagnostic method. The association between endometriosis and infertility has been extensively debated. Endometriosis can impair fertility by disrupting embryo implantation, altering hormone levels, and compromising oocyte quality. This literature review aims to examine the effects of endometriosis on female fertility. The review encompasses documents from clinical trials with control groups involving 196 to 22,416 reproductive-age participants (25-42 years), and case studies published over the past thirty-seven years from various regions (USA, Australia, Turkey, Africa, and Europe. Reputable databases such as BMJ, NEJM, Elsevier, AJR, Medline, and PubMed were utilized, with references compiled in the bibliography. A risk-benefit analysis indicates that up to 50% of women with endometriosis experience infertility. Consensus on treatment options remains elusive. The relationship between endometriosis and infertility is supported by studies of both fertile and infertile women, animal studies, donor sperm studies, and in vitro fertilization outcomes. Diagnostic methodologies based on endometrial changes are providing insights into potential mechanisms of infertility, especially in women with milder disease. However, clinical management of endometriosis-related infertility has not shown conclusive success beyond in vitro fertilization.","PeriodicalId":23738,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Biology Pharmacy and Health Sciences","volume":"5 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141795735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Misoprostol, a prostaglandin E1 analogue has been frequently used for cervical ripening and induction of labour with variable outcomes and Hyoscine N-Butyl bromide, which is a smooth muscle relaxant, has been studied widely for its use in labour. The combined effect of both drugs for cervical ripening and labour induction may have a better outcome in labour. Objectives: To compare the impact of combined intramuscular hyoscine and vaginal misoprostol as opposed to vaginal misoprostol alone on the median number of misoprostol insertion and time to achieve full cervical ripening in post-date pregnancies in Federal Medical Center Owerri, Nigeria. Study Design: A randomised double blinded clinical trial involving post-date pregnant women who received combined imtramuscular hyoscine and vaginal misoprostol and those who received vaginal misoprostol only for cervical ripening and induction of labour. Methodology: A total of 130 postdated pregnant women who satisfied the inclusion criteria were recruited for the study by systematic sampling. These were equal number of 65 participants each as case and control. They were matched for gestational age and social status. The case group received both vaginal misoprostol and intramuscular hyosine while the control received vaginal misoprostol alone for cervical ripening and induction of labour The results were analysed using SPSS version 21 with appropriate tables and figures generated. Results: The mean induction-delivery interval was (18.74±3.00 hours) in women who were given vaginal misoprostol + placebo and (16.6 ±3.00 hours) in those who received both vaginal misoprostol and intramuscular hyoscine. The median number of misoprostol inserted in the placebo group was 2 (2,3) while for hyoscine group it was 3(2,3). The mode of delivery between the hyoscine group and the control group did not show any statistically significant difference (P=0.152). Conclusion: The combined intramuscular hyoscine and vaginal misoprostol for cervical ripening and induction of labour as opposed to vaginal misoprostol alone reduces the median number of misoprostol insertion as well as the time to achieve full cervical ripening. Recommendations: The use of combined intramuscular hyoscine and vaginal misoprostol for cervical ripening and induction of labour should be routinely implemented and also the use of hyoscine pessaries with vaginal misoprostol can be studied to see if there would be a different outcome.","PeriodicalId":23738,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Biology Pharmacy and Health Sciences","volume":"3 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141795859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chelating agents and direct incorporation during synthesis are two techniques used in radiolabeling of nanoparticles to monitor particles in vivo. The review covers the background information on PET imaging, the opportunities provided by IONPs, and possible difficulties when using them. With new advancements in bimodal IONP templates, it is possible to use MRI and PET simultaneously for single-cell resolution imaging. The prospects centre on improving IONP safety and efficiency, utilizing nanomaterials with the 52Mn label, and applying IONPs in multimodal imaging. Copper-64 has also emerged as applicable in nuclear medicine, particularly in cancer diagnosis, using the copper-64 as a radiolabeling agent. These new generation automobiles of radiolabeled IONPs for PET imaging are a significant advancement to molecular and cellular imaging with possible enhancements in diagnostic precision and elements of precision medicine.","PeriodicalId":23738,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Biology Pharmacy and Health Sciences","volume":"7 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141795952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ocular transport of the medicine has been one of the challenging tasks for drug researchers because of the amazing development of the eye, which stifles the part of the prescription molecules into the perfect spot. The external visual course is the most often used method of medicine administration for treating visual diseases. Drugs used intraocularly that are topically controlled have very little visual bioavailability. A significant amount of medication is lost as a result of dose structure spilling brought on by tear turnover and nasolacrimal seepage weakening. Therefore, 1–10% of the medicine reaches the cornea. Voriconazole is the drug used in the treatment of fungal keratitis. Various polymers are screened out & among them, K-Carrageenan & Xanthan gum were used for the preparation of various formulations. Drug loaded with voriconazole was optimized using DOE experimental design with concentration of K- Carrageenan (X1), concentration of Xanthan gum(X2) as a dependent variable while Viscosity (Y1), Percent drug release(Y2) as a dependable variable. All the formulated batches were characterized for clarity, pH, drug content, gelling capacity, viscosity, in vitro drug release, accelerated stability study. An optimized batch was evaluated & showed there was no significant difference between them. The stability study suggested the formulation did not show any significant changes in drug content, viscosity, pH, gelling capacity & percent drug release.

This study aims to evaluate Mammogram Density Estimation for Assessing Breast Cancer Risk in Intermediate-Risk Women at Warith International Cancer Institution. Methods: The study included 261 women aged 40-78 who visited the Warith International Cancer Institution in Karbala, Iraq, between May 2023 and April 2024. Participants were divided into two groups based on mammographic breast density (MBD) according to the BI-RADS classification: non-dense (fatty and scattered fibroglandular) and dense (heterogeneously dense and dense) breasts. Demographic and clinical data were collected, and the association between breast density and various breast conditions was analyzed using logistic regression. Results: For malignant cases, the odds ratio (OR) for invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) was 1.04, suggesting no significant difference in the likelihood of IDC between dense and non-dense breasts. The OR for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) was 1.60, indicating a slightly higher, but not statistically significant, likelihood of DCIS in dense breasts. The overall OR for malignant cases was 1.26, showing a trend towards a higher likelihood of malignancy in dense breasts, but it was not statistically significant. For benign conditions, the OR for fibrocystic changes was 1.76, suggesting a higher likelihood in dense breasts, but the results were not statistically significant. Similarly, the ORs for fibroadenoma (1.27) and simple cysts (1.40) showed a slight increase in dense breasts but without statistical significance. Abscess and duct ectasia were less likely in dense breasts, but the results were not statistically significant. Conclusion: The study findings suggest that some breast conditions may be more common in dense breasts, but the differences are not statistically significant in many cases. Further targeted research is needed to understand better the relationships between breast density and various breast pathologies.","PeriodicalId":23738,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Biology Pharmacy and Health Sciences","volume":"16 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141796496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
