The SEPHS1 (Selenophosphate Synthetase 1) gene encodes a critical enzyme for synthesizing selenophosphate, the active donor of selenium (Se) necessary for selenoprotein biosynthesis. Selenoproteins are vital for antioxidant defense, thyroid hormone metabolism, and cellular homeostasis. Mutations in SEPHS1 gene, are ass…

Our objective is to analyse the observations related to intrauterine volvulus and assess how clinical manifestations and treatment strategies impact prognosis. We conducted a comprehensive search on Pubmed and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to July 2022, using search terms like "intrauterine volvulus" or "foetal vol…

Taking the green financial ecosystem composed of innovators, green financial institutions and regulators as the object of research, it explores the issue of how to improve the level of efforts of the three types of subjects and the benefits of risk management in the green financial ecosystem.
