Azerbaijan Medical Journal

The Azerbaijan Medical Journal (AMJ) is a peer-reviewed, open-access monthly publication dedicated to advancing medical science and clinical practice through the dissemination of high-quality, original research. The Journal aims to serve as a global platform for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals to share innovative findings, critical reviews, and evidence-based insights that contribute to the understanding, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases.

AMJ welcomes submissions across a broad spectrum of medical disciplines, including but not limited to:

  • • Internal Medicine and its subspecialties
  • • Surgery and surgical innovations
  • • Pediatrics and neonatology
  • • Obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive health
  • • Public health, epidemiology, and global health
  • • Medical education and health policy
  • • Pharmacology and therapeutics
  • • Diagnostic imaging and laboratory medicine
  • • Emerging infectious diseases and pandemic preparedness
  • • Translational and interdisciplinary medical research
  • • Dental health

The Journal particularly encourages contributions from early-career researchers, multidisciplinary teams, and authors from underrepresented regions. All manuscripts undergo rigorous double-blind peer review to ensure scientific integrity, methodological soundness, and relevance to contemporary medical challenges.We invite authors worldwide to submit original articles, review papers, case reports, brief communications, and study protocols that align with the Journal’s mission of promoting excellence, equity, and accessibility in medical scholarship.

Wearable Electrochemical Biosensor for Real-Time Cortisol Monitoring in Major Depressive Disorder: Correlation with Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Dynamics

Author(s): Dr. Sophie Martin, Dr. Hiroshi Yamamoto, Dr. Angela Wright

Abstract: Dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in major depressive disorder (MDD) is typically assessed via intermittent serum or salivary cortisol measurements. We developed a microneedle-based electrochemical biosensor for continuous interstitial cortisol monitoring over 72-hour periods. In a cohort of 80 MDD patients and 40 healthy controls, real-time cortisol profiling revealed ultradian rhythmic disruption and enhanced stress-reactivity peaks predictive of treatment ...

Ferroptosis Induction via Glutathione Peroxidase 4 Inhibition Sensitizes Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cells to Radiotherapy

Author(s): Dr. Omar Khalid, Dr. Sarah O'Brien

Abstract: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) stem cells (CSCs) exhibit intrinsic radioresistance driven by robust antioxidant defenses. We demonstrate that CSCs isolated from patient-derived xenografts exhibit elevated glutathione (GSH) synthesis and GPX4 expression, rendering them resistant to lipid peroxidation. Pharmacological inhibition of GPX4 using RSL3 or genetic knockdown induced ferroptosis selectively in CSCs while sparing differentiated tumor cells. Combination of GPX4 inhibition w...

Single-Cell Multi-Omic Analysis Reveals a Transitional Hepatocyte State Driving Liver Regeneration After Acetaminophen-Induced Necrosis

Author(s): Dr. Ana Silva, Dr. Kenji Sato, Dr. Emily Thompson

Abstract: The cellular heterogeneity underlying liver regeneration remains incompletely understood. Employing single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and mitochondrial DNA mutational profiling of 45,000 cells from acetaminophen-overdosed murine livers, we identified a rare transitional hepatocyte population (tHeps) expressing both mature hepatocyte markers (Alb, Ttr) and biliary transcription factors (Sox9, Opgn). These tHeps emerged at 48 hours post-injury, exhibited enhanced proliferative capacity, and g...

Neural Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Modulate Microglial Polarization and Enhance Functional Recovery in Spinal Cord Injury

Author(s): Dr. David Kim, Dr. Layla Mahmoud

Abstract: The inflammatory cascade following spinal cord injury (SCI) impairs axonal regeneration. We investigated the immunomodulatory properties of neural stem cell (NSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in a contusion SCI rat model. Systemic administration of NSC-EVs at 24 hours post-injury shifted microglia/macrophages from pro inflammatory M1 to anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, evidenced by reduced iNOS and elevated Arg1 expression. EV cargo analysis revealed enrichment of miR-124 and miR-1...

Quantum Dot-Based Intraoperative Fluorescence-Guided Surgery Improves Negative Margin Rates in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Author(s): Dr. Rachel Green, Dr. Amir Hassan, Dr. Thomas Weber

Abstract: Achieving negative surgical margins in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is critical for local control but challenging due to microscopic tumor infiltration. We developed near-infrared-II (NIR-II) emitting quantum dots (QDs) conjugated to anti-EGFR antibodies for real-time tumor delineation. In a prospective phase I trial of 30 HNSCC patients, QD-guided surgery identified positive margins in 8 cases deemed negative by standard white-light visualization and frozen section anal...
