Progesterone promotes CXCl2-dependent vaginal neutrophil killing by activating cervical resident macrophage-neutrophil crosstalk.

Vaginal infections in women of reproductive age represent a clinical dilemma with significant socioeconomic implications. The current understanding of mucosal immunity failure during early pathogenic invasions that allows the pathogen to grow and thrive is far from complete. Neutrophils infiltrate most tissues following circadian patterns as part of normal repair, regulation of microbiota, or immune surveillance and become more numerous after infection.

Is unicentric familial papillary thyroid microcarcinoma different from multicentric?

Background: Familial papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (FPTMC) appears to be more aggressive than sporadic papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (SPTMC). However, there are authors who indicate that unicentric FPTMC has a similar prognosis to SPTMC. The objective is to analyze whether unicentric FPTMC has a better prognosis than multicentric FPTMC.

Biological behavior of familial papillary thyroid microcarcinoma: Spanish multicenter study.

Purpose: Familial papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (FPTMC) can present a more aggressive behavior than the sporadic microcarcinoma. However, few studies have analyzed this situation. The objective is to analyze the recurrence rate of FPTMC and the prognostic factors which determine that recurrence in Spain.

Extension of Prophylactic Surgery in Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma. Differences Between Sporadic and Hereditary Tumours According to Calcitonin Levels and Lymph Node Involvement.

Introduction: Currently, there is no consensus on the indication of prophylactic surgery of the nodal compartments in the treatment of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). The aim of our study was to perform a correlation study between preoperative calcitonin (basalCT) values and lymph node involvement to establish a criterion on which to base prophylactic surgery in these patients.

Material And Methods: We conducted an observational, retrospective and multicentre study with 29 hospitals.
