While point-of-care testing (POCT) devices facilitate hemoglobin testing in resource-limited settings, most are invasive and have inherent limitations.

Article Synopsis
  • Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are crucial for tumor development and can evade the immune system by converting effector T cells into immunosuppressive T-regulatory cells (Tregs).
  • The study found that even a small number of CSCs could generate Tregs from CD4 T cells without direct contact, suppressing the antitumor activity of immune cells.
  • Additionally, CSCs are resistant to chemotherapy and produce high levels of the cytokine TGFβ, which promotes Treg formation, contributing to ongoing tumor growth and potential relapse after treatment.

Background: Hydatidiform mole (HM) is characterized histologically by cystic swelling of the chorionic villi, accompanied by variable trophoblastic proliferation. The most important reason for the correct recognition of moles is that they are associated with an increased risk of persistent trophoblastic disease (invasive mole) or choriocarcinoma.

Aims And Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine whether there is any role of p57 in differentiating partial and complete moles by immunohistochemical staining.
