Article Synopsis
- Squamous cells in thyroid fine needle aspirations (FNAs) are rare and can indicate both malignant and benign conditions, with a study identifying 107 cases over 22 years.
- Out of these, 44.9% were found to be malignant, including types like anaplastic thyroid carcinoma and various metastatic squamous cell carcinomas, while others showed benign features related to developmental cysts or metaplastic changes.
- The findings underscore the importance of contextual clinical assessment and further analysis to ensure accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment for patients presenting with squamous cells in thyroid FNAs.
Background: CD155 is a transmembrane protein that inhibits antitumor immune response and represents a predictor of worse prognosis in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, it remains unexplored its association with clinical characteristics and genomic status of Latin American patients. This study characterizes the CD155 expression and its clinical implications in this population.

A sample of 57 Portuguese military personnel, who are or were part of the Leopard 2 A6 main battle tank crew, answered a questionnaire on their perception of task performance, considering muscle demands, comfort, posture, movements, and associated symptoms. A subsample of four soldiers from the Armoured Squadron of the Portuguese Mechanized Brigade were assessed using an inertial measurement unit system and underwent a whole-body kinematic analysis coupled with a Rapid Entire Body Assessment during a simulated two-hour mission.
