Steroid hormones take an active part in a whole complex of physiological processes that are fundamental for the normal development and functioning of the human body. In the bloodstream steroid hormones are bind with specific transport proteins, in particular with transcortin. The matter of changes in hormone-protein complex in various conditions were actively studied in the second half of the twentieth century, but currently this issue has been taken a back seat by the development of high-precision diagnostic methods of steroid hormones determining.

The p53 protein has attracted huge research interest over several decades due to its role as one of the most important tumor suppressors in mammals, which orchestrates a synchronous response from normal cells in the body to various forms of stress. The diverse cellular activities of the p53 protein are regulated mainly via its post-translational modifications (PTMs). PTMs affect p53 on several levels: at the level of the assembly of tetrameric complexes on DNA to transactivate its target genes, at the level of the assembly of tetrameric complexes on DNA to transactivate its target genes; at the level of proteolysis in the absence of stress; and on the contrary, at the level of augmented protein stability in response to stress signals.

Article Synopsis
  • Pilonidal disease (PD) is a skin condition caused by hair-related issues in the intergluteal area, typically treated with surgery, but laser treatment (PiLaT) is emerging as a new option, especially for adolescents.
  • A study was conducted at a pediatric surgical hospital involving 17 adolescents who underwent a-PiLaT between 2019 and 2023, revealing an average operative time of about 21 minutes and a follow-up period of roughly 25 months.
  • Results showed a 24% complication rate and an 18% recurrence rate, with scars assessed as moderately favorable, indicating this technique is promising and should be explored further in larger studies.

Purpose: How to best support self-regulated learning (SRL) skills development and track trainees' progress along their competency-based medical education learning trajectory is unclear. Learning plans (LPs) may be the answer; however, information on their use in undergraduate medical education (UME) is limited. This study summarizes the literature regarding LP use in UME, explores the student's role in LP development and implementation, and identifies additional research areas.

Background: The current paradigm of competency-based medical education and learner-centredness requires learners to take an active role in their training. However, deliberate and planned continual assessment and performance improvement is hindered by the fragmented nature of many medical training programs. Attempts to bridge this continuity gap between supervision and feedback through learner handover have been controversial.
