Postoperative surgical margin results of the phyllodes tumors from a tertiary hospital.
Phyllodes tumors in the breast are exceptionally uncommon fibroepithelial tumors. In the literature, they are typically categorized as benign phyllodes tumor, borderline phyllodes tumor, and malignant phyllodes tumor. This study aims to assess and present the clinical and surgical outcomes of patients diagnosed with phyllodes tumor. ⋯ Phyllodes tumors of the breast can be followed up with a narrow negative surgical margin (0 mm

Association between nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and high serum ferritin levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The aim of this study was to assess the role of elevated serum ferritin levels in the onset, pathological progression and prognosis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has been rapidly increasing worldwide. Despite extensive research on the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a lack of sufficient clinical research on the relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and serum ferritin levels remains. ⋯ Identifying nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients at a risk of developing nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and advanced fibrosis is crucial for implementing timely interventions and improving patient outcomes. This study highlights the potential utility of serum ferritin levels as a serum biomarker for identifying nonalcoholic steatohepatitis patients and those at a risk of late-stage fibrosis, particularly in male patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

The association of ghrelin rs26311 and rs27647 polymorphisms and mRNA expression with preeclampsia susceptibility and severity-A case-control study.
Ghrelin is an adipokine the placenta generates to control the maternal metabolic adaptation to pregnancy. It causes different pregnancy complications like preeclampsia (PE). Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the association between ghrelin mRNA expression and rs26311 and rs27647 polymorphisms and PE development. ⋯ The maternal and placental ghrelin polymorphisms, rs27647 and rs26311, showed no effect on PE. However, the rs27647 variant was associated with severe PE.

The relationship between bone mineral density, vitamin D level, and sleep quality in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis: a relation-seeker type study.
This study was conducted to determine the relationship between bone mineral density, vitamin D level, and sleep quality in female patients with osteoporosis. ⋯ There was no association between the vitamin D level, bone mineral density, and sleep quality, but the duration of osteoporosis was negatively associated with sleep quality. Accordingly, it may be recommended to provide education and counseling to postmenopausal women diagnosed with osteoporosis on issues such as sunbathing, vitamin D and calcium preparation intake, weight control, and non-pharmacological treatment approaches by making necessary individual-specific plans to improve sleep quality.
