16. Autoantibodies against desmoglein 2 are not pathogenic in pemphigus
Abstract Background Anti-desmoglein 1 and 3 autoantibodies justify acantholysis in pemphigus; however, the pathogenesis of anti-desmoglein 2 is hypothetical. Objective To compare the participation of desmogleins 1, 2 and 3 through the production of serum autoantibodies, and protein and gene expression in the skin/mucosa of patients with pemphigus foliaceus

18. Association of salivary alpha-2-macroglobulin with glycemia and glycated hemoglobin in type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis study
Abstract BACKGROUND: Chronically elevated alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2MG) in the blood has been correlated with diabetes and the HbA1c profile; however, no systematic review has been conducted to evaluate the association of A2MG salivary levels and glycemia or HbA1c levels in diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) patients. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether A2MG salivar

19. High uterosacral ligament hysteropexy for the management of pelvic organ prolapse
ABSTRACT Objective: To demonstrate our transvaginal high uterosacral ligament (HUL) hysteropexy technique as an alternative mesh-free uterine-preserving pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair approach and present our institutional outcomes. Concurrent hysterectomy with POP repair is controversial as uterine-preserving techniques may beneficially allow fertility
