Update on the therapeutic role of metformin in the management of polycystic ovary syndrome: Effects on pathophysiologic process and fertility outcomes
No full textInfluential guidelines have supported the role of metformin in the management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) for a number of years. However, regulatory approvals for this therapeutic indication are still exceptional and exist only in a few countries, including for the originator, Glucophage®. PCOS is an insulin-resistant state, which drives hyperandrogenism and anovulatory infertility. The metabolic action of metformin involves amelioration of insulin resistance, which helps to resolve hormonal and metabolic disturbances and increases ovulation, pregnancy, and live birth rates relative to placebo. A combination of metformin with clomifene citrate (another widely used treatment for PCOS) is more effective than either alone and is a useful option in women with clomifene-resistant PCOS. Combining metformin with letrozole (1st-line agent for ovulation induction in women with PCOS and no other infertility risk factors) is not more effective than letrozole alone. Continuing metformin to the end of the 1st trimester at an effective dose (e.g. 1000–2000 mg/day) may help to reduce the rate of miscarriages. Metformin also has an adjunctive role in women with PCOS receiving assisted reproduction technology (ART) using the long gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist protocol, where it appears to increase the pregnancy rate and to reduce the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. There is no role for metformin in women receiving short ART protocols. Where a successful pregnancy is achieved, metformin is generally safe for the mother and neonate. Further research is needed to define with greater precision the optimal dosage and times to initiate and discontinue metformin in women with PCOS who achieve pregnancy
Re-Epithelialization of Superficial Second-Degree Burn Wounds Treated With Axonopus Compressus (Carabao Grass) Leaf Ethanolic Extract: A Histological Analysis
No full textWith an increase in fire incidents in recent years, different therapeutic agents have been administered to manage wound healing associated with burn injuries; however, particular conventional treatments have been shown to hinder the wound healing process and cause adverse effects. The objective of this study was to determine the potential of Axonopus compressus (A. compressus) leaf ethanolic extract in the re-epithelialization of second-degree burn wounds in a rat model. The methodology included a total of 15 albino rats being categorized into three groups, subjected to second-degree burn injuries via thermal contact, and receiving either silver sulfadiazine (positive control), no treatment (negative control), or A. compressus leaf ethanolic extract (treatment group) administered for 14 days. The rats were euthanized on day 15 post-burn and examined histologically, and the wound-contraction rates and histological characteristics were recorded and compared. The phytochemical results showed the extract to possess glycosides, flavonoids, and tannins, among other compounds, which are beneficial to wound healing. Through One-way ANOVA, mean wound-contraction rates presented no statistically significant difference between the positive control and treatment group but presented significant differences for each when compared to the negative control group (p\u3c 0.05) for days 3, 7, and 14. The histological characteristics indicated that the treatment group exhibited the most advanced healing progression compared to the positive and negative control group, supported by histological scores and microscopic evaluation. These findings suggest that with future research and validation, A. compressus may be used as an alternative therapeutic agent for burn-wound management
Lived Experiences of Speech-Language Pathology Board Passers of Batch 2023 and 2024 Graduates of the De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute
No full textThe Professional Regulation Commission in the Philippines mandated that all Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) graduates from Batch 2019 onward must take and pass the Speech-Language Pathology Licensure Examination (SLPLE) to practice legally. Despite the increasing number of SLP graduates taking the SLPLE, there remains a limited understanding of how various factors, such as personal, academic, social, and environmental factors, contribute to the success of the SLP board passers. This study explored the lived experiences of SLP board passers of Batch 2023 and 2024 graduates of the De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute in how they succeeded in the SLPLE using a phenomenological theoretical framework. Key Informant Interviews were conducted via Google Meet with 10 participants, all of whom passed the SLPLE without prior clinical professional experience. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed through thematic analysis, which was documented via a Google Docs file. Findings of the thematic analysis revealed three main themes that contributed to the success of SLP board passers: (1) motivations to succeed in the SLPLE, (2) adaptive strategies applied by the SLP board passers, and (3) challenges faced by the SLP board passers. For each component, the study revealed specific elements that contributed to the success of the SLP board passers. This study provided a descriptive guide and a conceptual framework that can help the examinees succeed in the SLPLE. The findings offer valuable insights for SLP examinees, educators, and institutions, addressing knowledge gaps and guiding future licensure examination preparation strategies
