Objectives: is an obligate intracellular coccidian pathogen, with domestic cats and other members of the Felidae family serving as its definitive hosts. The aim of the study was to identify risk factors for positive test results.

Methods: A laboratory database was screened for PCR results from faecal samples and serology results (IgM, IgG) from serum/plasma taken from cats in Europe between January 2008 and December 2022.

Article Synopsis
  • Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived macrophages (IDMs) can effectively replace monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) for studying inflammation pathways in lab settings.
  • A revised IDM differentiation protocol significantly increased the production of myeloid progenitors by six times, leading to IDMs that mirror MDM biology more closely than THP-1 cells, specifically in their inflammatory response profiles.
  • IDMs showed similar effects to MDMs when analyzing RIPK2's role in the inflammatory response, demonstrating their potential for research in inflammatory diseases with improved relevance.

Importance: Large language models (LLMs) recently developed an unprecedented ability to answer questions. Studies of LLMs from other fields may not generalize to medical oncology, a high-stakes clinical setting requiring rapid integration of new information.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy and safety of LLM answers on medical oncology examination questions.

Introduction: Little evidence exists on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemics on the compliance with cervical cancer treatment.

Methods: We carried out a population-based, before-and-after retrospective cohort study of all cervical cancer patients diagnosed in the Jujuy province public health sector (n=140), Argentina, between 2017 and 2020. Patients diagnosed in 2020 were considered exposed to the COVID-19 pandemic (n=21).

Introduction: Stress affects many adolescents and is associated with physical and mental health symptoms that can have a negative impact on normative development. However, there are very few evidence-based, specific treatment approaches. The aim of the study was to investigate an eight-session group intervention using components of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) enriched with elements of CBT (psychoeducation, problem solving) and art therapy, compared to a waitlist control (WLC) group, regarding its efficacy in reducing stress and associated symptoms.
