Objective: Rosacea is an inflammatory dermatosis. Telangiectasias, edema, erythema, and acneiform eruptions are the main symptoms. Several genetic and environmental factors have been linked to rosacea; however, the etiology of the disease is still not known. It is considered a systemic disease rather than a skin disorder. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals are substances people are exposed to through water, food, self-care products, and the environment. They interfere with normal ...

Introduction: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is associated with maternal and perinatal morbidity. Follistatin-like 1 (FSTL-1), also known as TGFB-beta-stimulated clone 36 (TSC-36), is a glycoprotein cardiokine reported to be associated with insulin resistance and inflammatory processes. To date, there is no study evaluating the effect of FSTL-1 gene polymorphism on the development of GDM in the literature. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of serum FSTL-1 ...

Background and aimMicroRNAs (miRNA) are small nucleotide sequences that affect gene expression in cells at the posttranscriptional level. Some miRNAs behave like oncogenes, while others behave like tumor suppressors. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the role of miRNAs in tumor development and its effects on clinical and metabolic parameters of the patients with acromegaly.Methods39 patients diagnose...
