BackgroundExposure to isotretinoin during pregnancy must be avoided due to its teratogenicity, but real-world data on its use are scarce.We aimed to describe (i) isotretinoin use in women of childbearing age in Germany; (ii) the occurrence of isotretinoin-exposed pregnancies; and (iii) malformations among children exposed in utero.Methods and findi
Iron compounds for food fortification: The development of an essential nutritional strategy for developing countries. A review
Iron (Fe) deficiency has been recognized as a public health problem due to its health and economic implications.In developing countries like Colombia this deficiency still affects a large part of its population, especially children and women in gestation.Hence the importance of developing strategies such as food fortification with iron to improve t
Human Archaeological Dentin as Source of Polar and Less Polar Metabolites for Untargeted Metabolomic Research: The Case of Yersinia pestis
Metabolomic approaches, such as ACETYL-L-CARNITINE in clinical applications of living individuals, have shown potential use for solving questions regarding the past when applied to archaeological material.Here, we study for the first time the potential of this Omic approach as applied to metabolites extracted from archaeological human dentin.Dentin
Triboelectric touch sensor for position mapping during total hip arthroplasty
Abstract Objective In this research, a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) was utilized to determine if a pressure-based sensor could detect bearing friction in a total hip arthroplasty (THA) and detect the contact of specific Dog Drying Coats areas during ROM checks.Results The pressure-based sensor shows capability to sense bearing friction.In mor
Functional outcomes of bowel resection versus shaving or disc excision of colorectal endometriosis: a systematic review protocol
Introduction Endometriosis is a prevalent gynaecological condition for women of reproductive age worldwide.While endometriosis primarily involves the reproductive system, it can also infiltrate additional viscera such as the gastrointestinal tract.Patients with colorectal endometriosis can have severe symptoms that require surgical intervention.The
