Ovarian lesions are common and often incidentally detected. A critical shortage of expert ultrasound examiners has raised concerns of unnecessary interventions and delayed cancer diagnoses. Deep learning has shown promising results in the detection of ovarian cancer in ultrasound images; however, external validation is lacking.

The present study summarizes the current available literature regarding the viability of MCF7 breast cancer cells treated with gold (Au), silver (Ag) or zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles at varying doses for 48 h. The data for this study were obtained from diverse research articles published between 2013 and 2023 using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. The evaluation focused on 20 PRISMA-compliant articles concerning MCF7 cells, yielding 137 outcome measures for meta-analysis.

Background: In addition to pharmacological treatment, psychotherapeutic approaches are recommended for the treatment of fibromyalgia. There is a suggestion that eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy may be effective.

Article Synopsis
  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a leading sexually transmitted virus, and this study investigates the effectiveness of two sampling methods—cotton swabs (CS) versus nylon-flocked swabs (NFS)—for HPV-DNA testing in men with genital warts.
  • The research involved 45 men, and results showed that NFS detected significantly more HPV types, including high-risk variants, compared to CS, with NFS identifying 106 HPV types overall versus 84 types for CS.
  • The findings suggest that NFS are more reliable for HPV-DNA testing in this demographic, highlighting their superior capability in detecting multiple HPV infections and more high-risk strains, recommending their use over CS for better HPV detection.
