Effects of KRAS Gene Mutations in Gynaecological Malignancies by Ramakrishnan V in Gynecology Journal_ Gynecology Open access Journal
Gynaecological disorders and malignancies affect the female reproductive system. Every woman in her life time suffers from gynaecological problem at some extent. The development and pathogenesis of gynaecological disorders is still remains unclear, several clinical and epidemiological studies have documented that they can be triggered by environmental, life-style, genetic factors and epigenetic alterations.The KRAS (Kristen rat sarcoma viral oncogene) gene is the commonly mutated oncogene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein called as K-Ras, which plays a vital role in cell division, differentiation and apoptosis. The frequency of mutations in this oncogene is highly reported in gynaecological cancers. This review highlights the common mutations observed in KRAS gene that is associated with breast, cervical, ovarian and endometrial cancer. These genetic variations can be considered with their clinical significance and might be used as diagnostic biomarkers and testing for RAS pathway mutations.

Hopefully, brain enhancement is winning from buttock enhancement. Introduction It is rather strange to read at International Women’s Day the first report of a buttock implant leading to fatal lymphoma, a complication that we know until now only of breast implants [1,2] Buttock enhancement is mostly performed with autologous fat injection rather than with silicone implants. However, these Brazilian butt lift procedures are the deadliest in aesthetic surgery. One in every 3000 patients dies of a fat embolism. Injecting fat into the buttocks can easily lead to serious problems if done incorrectly [3]. Most of the 33 deaths have been attributed to unqualified doctors, but underreporting is very likely. Besides fatal fat embolism,

Psychological Health Status and Oral Health Outcomes of Pregnant Women: Practical Implications by Irosha Perera in Womens Health Journal_ Gynecology Open Access Journals Opinion Pregnancy marks an important milestone in the life cycle of a woman garnered by a milieu of physiological, psychological, emotional, social and even spiritual health needs [1]. Ensuring safe motherhoods and pregnancy outcomes for a healthy mother and a baby have become priorities for health policy makers and health care delivery models both in developed and developing country scenarios. Moreover, pregnancy denotes an opportune time for intergenerational investment in health outcomes. It is well known that physiological changes that are taking place during pregnancy could give rise to demanding psychological health concerns among pregnant women compounded by their social determinates such as i.e. level of education, marital status and satisfaction, level of income, parity, minority status, having heal
