BRAF p.V600E Mutational Status Does Not Correlate with Biological Behavior in Conventional Ameloblastomas: A Disease-Free Survival Analysis.
Head Neck Pathol
March 2024
Background: Dysregulation of the MAPK pathway appears to exert a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of ameloblastomas, since BRAF p.V600E has been reported in over 65% of the tumors. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether the BRAF p.

Background: The objective of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of plasma-based liquid biopsy for the detection of the BRAF V600E mutation in circulating cell-free DNA from patients with ameloblastoma.
Methods: This is a prospective diagnostic accuracy study conducted based on the Standards for Reporting Diagnostic Accuracy recommendations. The index test was the plasma-based liquid biopsy, whereas the reference standard was the conventional tissue biopsy.
Healthcare workers exposed to COVID-19 patients present an inflammatory status and Th2/Th17/Th22 immune profile: findings from before vaccine application in Brazil.

Article Synopsis
- Healthcare workers are at a higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection due to their exposure to infected patients, necessitating a study of their clinical and immunological status.
- A study involving 50 healthcare professionals in Brazil revealed that most participants were women over 50 years old working as nursing technicians, with around 56% testing positive for previous COVID-19 infection.
- Immunological findings indicated signs of light inflammation and a distinct immune response in positive workers, highlighting the need for further research on the long-term effects of continuous virus exposure in this group.
