Mapping capacity building programs in health diplomacy: Relevance and application in an uncertain world.

Health diplomacy is one of the emerging avenues for academics where foreign policy dynamics and global health meet. Its relevance has augmented especially after the COVID-19 pandemic that brought the world to a halt. International organization and national entities that are responsible for health governance as well as its socio-economic determinants have been increasingly involved in the negotiations for a collective action towards a better health infrastructure and preparedness.

Certain misconceptions often lead to misdiagnosis. This article presents and discusses six myths about several common headache disorders (migraine, tension-type headache, cluster headache, cervicogenic headache, sinus headache, and occipital neuralgia) often encountered in clinical practice.

Thrombin - A Molecular Dynamics Perspective.

Thrombin is a crucial enzyme involved in blood coagulation, essential for maintaining circulatory system integrity and preventing excessive bleeding. However, thrombin is also implicated in pathological conditions such as thrombosis and cancer. Despite the application of various experimental techniques, including X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and HDXMS, none of these methods can precisely detect thrombin's dynamics and conformational ensembles at high spatial and temporal resolution.

Sentinel Node Mapping in Early Breast Cancer: A Randomized Comparison of Fluorescein Guided All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Anurag's Technique with Technetium-99 m Sulfur Colloid Plus Methylene Blue.

Purpose: Evaluation of fluorescein along with blue dye as an affordable tracer for sentinel node biopsy in comparison with technetium + methylene blue. A randomized trial was conducted with the following objectives: (1) to demonstrate that the identification of sentinel lymph node by fluorescein + methylene blue is not inferior to the identification by Tc-99 m sulfur colloid + methylene blue and (2) to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of sentinel node biopsy by above two tracers.

Subjects And Methods: One-thirty patients above age 18 years presenting with early breast cancer T1, T2, N0 breast carcinoma were randomized to undergo sentinel node biopsy by either fluorescein + methylene blue or Tc-99 m sulfur colloid + methylene blue.
