    Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but serious condition during pregnancy, with significant maternal morbidity and mortality.

  • 2

    The study identified that early pregnancy CVST has a higher severity and mortality rate compared to postpartum CVST.

  • 3

    Lower apolipoprotein A1 levels were found to be associated with an increased risk of CVST occurrence.

  • 4

    In the study, 18.75% of surviving CVST patients had subsequent pregnancies, with no recurrence of CVST observed.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that a history of CVST may not preclude future pregnancies, but individual risk assessment is crucial.

Creatine's ATP-buffering trick isn't just for biceps. In mice, it juices up dendritic cells' energy supply, sharpening T-cell priming and shrinking tumors on daily injections. Human DCs got the memo too, at least in a dish. Early days, but a fun plot twist for gym-bag chemistry.
