Prognostic implications of system inflammation response index in atrial fibrillation patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by Yang Chen, Bin Zhou, Chaoquan Peng, Yong Liu, Weiyan Lai

“…When treating the SIRI as a continuous variable, a higher SIRI was significantly associated with increased all-cause mortality both in-hospital [hazard ratio (HR) 1.015, 95%CI 1.010–1.020, P = 0.015] and 1-year (HR 1. 016, 95%CI 1.008–1.015, P = 0.012). Additionally, compared to patients with the lowest tertiles of SIRI, those with the highest tertiles of SIRI possessed significantly higher all-cause mortality both in-hospital and 1-year after multivariable adjustment, and this relationship remained pronounced in AF and T2DM patients [in-hospital mortality (HR: 1.863, 95% CI 1.189–2.918, P = 0.007); one-year mortality (HR: 2.143, 95% CI 1.621–2.831, P < 0.001)]. …”

Is body mass index associated with the incidence of endometriosis and the severity of dysmenorrhoea: a case–control study in China? by Qi Chen, Yifei Gao, Yunhui Tang, Luling Lin, Mingzhi Zhao, George Qiaoqi Chen, Shouzhen Chen

“…According to the BMI categories for Asians/Chinese by WHO (underweight: &lt;18.5 kg/m2, normal weight: 18.5–22.99 kg/m2, overweight: 23–27.49 kg/m2, obese: ≥27.50 kg/m2), overall, there was no difference in the association of BMI and endometriosis (p=0.112). 60% of patients were of normal weight. However, the OR of obese patients (BMI over 27.50 kg/m2) having endometriosis was1.979 (95% CI 1.15 to 3.52, p=0.0185), compared with women with normal weight. 50.3% patients reported dysmenorrhoea, and the OR of developing severe dysmenorrhoea in obese patients (BMI over 27.50 kg/m2) was 3.64 (95% CI 1.195 to 10.15, p=0.025), compared with patients with normal weight.Conclusion Our data demonstrate that overall there was no association between BMI and the incidence of endometriosis, but there was a significant increase in the incidence of endometriosis in obese women, compared with women with normal weight. …”

Relation of Follicular Fluid Soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-Products Concentration and Anti Mullerian Hormone in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Non-PCOS Women Referring... by Neda Emami, Ashraf Moini, Samira Vesali

“…Prior to the in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure, fluid samples were collected and levels of FFsRAGEs and serum AMH were recorded through the use of commercially available ELISA kits.Results: Correlation analysis, without age adjusting, revealed a statistically considerable and positive associationbetween FF sRAGE and serum AMH concentration in PCOS women (P=0.012, r=0.596). Moreover, after age stratification,the same pattern was observed in some age groups; in PCOS women aged 40 years or older (r=1, P<0.001), aswell as those younger than 30 years (r=0.922, P=0.003), correlation analysis demonstrated a significant and positiverelationship between FF sRAGE and serum AMH levels.Conclusion: The association between sRAGE and AMH in women with PCOS is primarily affected by their age,whereas non-PCOS women showed no relationship. …”
