Laryngeal hemangiomas are rare vascular tumors, mainly in children, and less common in adults. Giant lesions typically require multiple endoscopic procedures and temporary tracheostomy. Open surgery allows single-procedure removal with fewer complications.

- Infections significantly impact pediatric health worldwide, prompting the Staphylo Research Network to study pediatric patients in Colombia between 2018 and 2021, focusing on their epidemiological and microbiological characteristics.
- The study analyzed 8,157 culture isolations from 20 centers, noting that methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) was more common than methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), particularly in different regional hospitals.
- Findings highlight that while MSSA was dominant, regional variations in MRSA prevalence exist, and most strains showed susceptibility to common antibiotics, emphasizing the need for ongoing infection monitoring in children.
"I found out about Zika virus after she was born." Women's experiences of risk communication during the Zika virus epidemic in Brazil, Colombia, and Puerto Rico.

Providing accurate, evidence-based information to women with Zika infection during pregnancy was problematic because of the high degree of uncertainty in the diagnosis of the infection and the associated risk. The 2015-17 Zika virus epidemic overwhelmingly affected women in countries with limited access to safe abortion. Understanding women's perspectives on risk communication during pregnancy in the context of an emerging pathogen can help inform risk communication in response to future outbreaks that affect fetal or child development.

- - The study focuses on creating hybrid molecules as a strategy for drug discovery, emphasizing the significance of 1,2,3-triazole as a key component in medicinal chemistry.
- - Researchers designed and synthesized new 1,2,3-triazole hybrids incorporating isatine and phenolic elements, utilizing a click chemistry approach for efficient synthesis.
- - A molecular docking study identified four therapeutic targets for these hybrids, with the most promising results related to 5-lipoxygenase, which plays a role in inflammation.
Mercury pollution poses a global health threat due to its high toxicity, especially in seafood where it accumulates through various pathways. Developing effective and affordable technologies for mercury removal from water is crucial. Adsorption stands out as a promising method, but creating low-cost materials with high selectivity and capacity for mercury adsorption is challenging.
