Recent progresses in natural based therapeutic materials for Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder that causes increased memory loss, mood swings, behavioral disorders, and disruptions in daily activities. Polymer scaffolds for the brain have been grown under laboratory, physiological, and pathological circumstances because of the limitations of conventional treatments for patients with central nervous system diseases. The blood-brain barrier prevents medications from entering the brain, challenging AD treatment.

Novel complex compounds of nickel with 3-(1-phenyl-2,3-dimethyl-pyrazolone-5)azopentadione-2,4: synthesis, NBO analysis, reactivity descriptors and and anti-cancer and bioactivity studies.

A synthesized azo compound based on 4-amino antipyrine and its complexes with Ni(II) in solution and solid phase is reported. The structures of these compounds have been testified by IR and NMR spectroscopy. The combined experimental and theoretical approach was used.

Diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration biopsy versus postoperative histopathology for diagnosing thyroid malignancy.

Introduction: Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is currently widely used for the initial screening of patients with thyroid nodules enabling prevention of unnecessary surgery. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyse the diagnostic accuracy of thyroid FNAB compared with postoperative histopathology of a large cohort from Azerbaijan.

Methods: We evaluated the FNAB results of 738 patients who underwent thyroid surgery at the National Centre of Oncology in Azerbaijan.

Gender Differences in Perceptions and Attitudes of Medical Students Toward Neurosurgery: A German Nationwide Survey.

Background: Despite advances in gender equity, the paucity of women neurosurgeons remains. In Germany, women accounted for only 24% of the specialists who completed their neurosurgical training in 2019. We sought to explore the perceptions of medical students in Germany toward a neurosurgical career, focusing on gender-specific differences.

The value of [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE PET/CT in diagnosis and management of suspected pituitary tumors.

Background: Gallium 68-tetraazacyclododecane-tetraacetic acid-octreotate ([68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE) is a selective somatostatin analogue ligand, which shows increased affinity for somatostatin receptor subtype (SSTR) 2 and has been used routinely for imaging neuroendocrine tumors with PET/CT. We investigated the utility of [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with suspected pituitary pathology. We reviewed imaging for twenty consecutive patients (8 men, 12 women, mean age of 48.

[Clinical and morphological observation of Löffler's endomyocarditis].

The article describes the case of a 42-year-old young woman with Löffler's endomyocarditis (fibroplastic endomyocarditis with eosinophilic syndrome). Pathomorphological (macroscopic and histological) criteria for the diagnosis of this rare form of restrictive cardiomyopathy are presented.

A German Study Comparing Standard Wire Localization With Magnetic Seed Localization of Non-palpable Breast Lesions.

Background: Exact localization of non-palpable breast lesions is necessary to ensure that the correct lesion is removed. Conventional methods come with several disadvantages.

Patients And Methods: We compared 28 patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery for a non-palpable lesion.

Morphologically proved ANCA positive Loeffler's pancarditis: medical and surgical treatment.

Loeffler's endocarditis remains is a very rare disease, develops due to eosinophilic inflammation predominantly of the endocardium with an outcome in fibrosis and massive thrombus formation and. He is generally characterized by an unfavorable prognosis. Clinical case of a 42-year-old patient with Loeffler endocarditis is presented.

Current developments in green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles using plant extracts: a review.

Metal nanoparticles (MNPs) produced by green approaches have received global attention because of their physicochemical characteristics and their applications in the field of biotechnology. In recent years, the development of synthesizing NPs by plant extracts has become a major focus of researchers because of these NPs have low hazardous effect in the environment and low toxicity for the human body. Synthesized NPs from plants are not only more stable in terms of size and shape, also the yield of this method is higher than the other methods.

An optical coherence tomography study of residual subfoveal fluid after successful pars plana vitrectomy in patients with diabetic tractional macular detachment.

Purpose: To analyze the prevalence of residual subfoveal fluid (RSF) after pars plana vitrectomy in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy complicated by tractional detachment of the macula and the effect of RSF on the postoperative visual outcome.

Methods: This study was a prospective observational case study of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) records of 23 patients (24 eyes) with macula-off diabetic tractional retinal detachment (TRD) who underwent successful 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy between July 2012 and December 2015.

Results: The prevalence of RSF on OCT examination was 100% at 1 and 2 months, 91.
