The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology: Risk of Malignancy in Pediatric Thyroid Nodules.

Introduction: Thyroid nodules are infrequent findings in children, though malignancy rates are higher in this population. The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) standardizes the reporting of thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA) specimens and has become a global reference for assessing the risk of malignancy (ROM) of thyroid nodules. The 2023 update includes pediatric-specific risk predictions and management recommendations.

Photoprotective effect of topical treatment with Lopezia racemosa extract against deleterious UVB irradiation effects in the skin of hairless mice.

Lopezia racemosa is known as a "mosquito flower or perlilla." It is commonly found in corn crops. In traditional Mexican medicine, this plant is used to treat stomach cancer and urinary tract infections.

Role of laparoscopy in the immediate, intermediate, and long-term management of iatrogenic bile duct injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Purpose: Bile duct injuries (BDI) during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy still remain as one of the most feared complications in surgery. The use of laparoscopy for its management is a controversial subject of discussion. The purpose of this study is to assess the amount of possibilities that a laparoscopic approach allows in its resolution.

Determination of the diffusion coefficient through oil absorption and moisture loss, such as the porosity of pieces of yam () during deep fat frying.

This study evaluated moisture loss, oil gain and porosity when frying pieces of yam (). The parallelepiped-shaped samples, approximately 1 × 1 × 4 cm, were subjected to frying temperatures of 145, 165 and 185 °C for 50, 150, 300, 450, or 600 s. Fick's law was used to determine the diffusion coefficient from the experiment data for the varieties 153 traditional Espino and 125 Brazilian Espino.
