    Abstract Aims: Telemedicine improves glycemic and perinatal outcomes when used as an adjunct to standard care in gestational diabetes (GDM). Little is known about its effectiveness when used instead of standard care. We aimed to compare the outcomes of telemedicine care and the standard care in women with GDM.
    Methods: In a single-center, parallel, randomized controlled trial, women were randomized to: (1) a telemedicine group, sending glucose readings via an application installed on a smartphone and monthly individual video calls replacing on-site visits or (2) standard care group with routine monthly on-site visits. The primary outcome was the effectiveness of glycemic control. The secondary outcomes were gestational weight gain (GWG) and perinatal data, including birth weight, gestational age, the incidence of the offspring large for gestational age, preterm birth, preeclampsia and cesarean section.
    Results: A total of 106 women were randomized to the telemedicine (n = 54) and the standard care group (n = 52). The telemedicine group demonstrated less postprandial measurements above the glycemic target (10.4% [3.9-17.9] vs. 14.6% [6.5-27.1]; p = 0.015), together with lower average postprandial glucose (5.6 ± 0.3 vs. 5.9 ± 0.4; p = 0.004). Percentage of cesarean section was lower in the telemedicine group (9 (17.3%) vs. 18 (35.3%); p = 0.038).
    Conclusions: Telemedicine offers an effective alternative to delivering care to women with GDM. Trial registration NCT05521893, ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier URL: https://www.

    Abstract Breast cancer is still the leading cause of death in women of all ages. The reason for this is therapy resistance, which leads to the progression of the disease and the formation of metastases. Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a multifactorial process that leads to therapy failure. MDR involves multiple processes and many signaling pathways that support each other, making it difficult to overcome once established. Here, we discuss cellular-oxidative-stress-modulating factors focusing on transcription factors NRF2, FOXO family, and peroxiporins, as well as their possible contribution to MDR. This is significant because oxidative stress is a consequence of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, and the activation of detoxification pathways could modulate the cellular response to therapy and could support MDR. These proteins are not directly responsible for MDR, but they support the survival of cancer cells under stress conditions.

    Abstract Informed consent is a process in which a human subject who is to participate in research needs to give his or her consent after being properly informed of the expected benefits as well as the potential harm of the research that will be performed. The function and purpose of the research ethics committee is to ensure that the research that will take place is in accordance with the relevant ethical standards. This means that the committee must assess the appropriateness of the design of the study reviewed. Research in the field of laboratory medicine has specific features,

    Abstract Breast cancer (BC) and ovarian cancer (OC) are among the most common and deadly cancers affecting women worldwide. Both are complex diseases with marked heterogeneity. Despite the induction of screening programs that increase the frequency of earlier diagnosis of BC, at a stage when the cancer is more likely to respond to therapy, which does not exist for OC, more than 50% of both cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Initial therapy can put the cancer into remission. However, recurrences occur frequently in both BC and OC, which are highly cancer-subtype dependent. Therapy resistance is mainly attributed to a rare subpopulation of cells, named cancer stem cells (CSC) or tumor-initiating cells, as they are capable of self-renewal, tumor initiation, and regrowth of tumor bulk. In this review, we will discuss the distinctive markers and signaling pathways that characterize CSC, their interactions with the tumor microenvironment, and the strategies they employ to evade immune surveillance. Our focus will be on identifying the common features of breast cancer stem cells (BCSC) and ovarian cancer stem cells (OCSC) and suggesting potential therapeutic approaches.

    Abstract Aquaporin 3 (AQP3) is a peroxiporin, a membrane protein that channels hydrogen peroxide in addition to water and glycerol. AQP3 expression also correlates with tumor progression and malignancy and is, therefore, a potential target in breast cancer therapy. In addition, epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays an important role in breast cancer. Therefore, we investigated whether disruption of the lipid raft harboring EGFR could affect AQP3 expression, and conversely, whether AQP3 silencing would affect the EGFR/phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)/Protein kinase B (PKB or Akt) signaling pathway in breast cancer cell lines with different malignant capacities. We evaluated H

    Abstract The constitutive proteasome and the immunoproteasome represent validated targets for pharmacological intervention in the context of various diseases, such as cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases. The development of novel chemical scaffolds of non-peptidic nature, capable of inhibiting different catalytically active subunits of both isoforms, is a viable approach against these diseases. Such compounds are also useful as leads for the development of biochemical probes that enable the studies of the roles of both isoforms in various biological contexts. Here, we present a ligand-based computational design of (immuno)proteasome inhibitors, which resulted in the amino-substituted
