Jaw vs abdominal Burkitt's lymphoma: An analysis of 25 Iraqi cases.

Objectives: This study compared the clinicopathological, immunohistochemical characteristics and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) detection of Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) in the abdomen and jaw of Iraqi patients.

Methods: A cohort/retrospective study was carried out between August and September 2024 using 25 tissue blocks (14 gnathic and 11 abdominal BL) from the Oral and Maxillofacial Laboratory, University of Baghdad, College of Dentistry, and the National Centre for Educational Laboratories. The sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E), while CD10, CD20, Bcl-2, BCl-6, C-Myc and Ki-67 markers were used for diagnosis.

Modeling nonlinear inactivation of hygiene indicator bacteria in pig carcasses during scalding at different pHs.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of adding an alkalizing agent to the scalding water of a slaughterhouse in Brazil to inactivate hygiene indicator bacteria in pig carcasses. Scalding is critical during carcass processing because slaughterhouses' scalding water is constantly renewed; therefore, it is usually contaminated with organic matter, such as faeces and dirt from the previous carcasses. The treatments evaluated consisted of counting Enterobacteriaceae and mesophilic bacteria in pork jowls at 62 °C, 65 °C, 68 C, and 72 °C after 0.

Co(III) complexes of the pentadentate NHC ligand PY4Im: carbene-induced influences and the non-disappearing C NMR peak.

Co(III) complexes of the N-heterocyclic carbene ligand PY4Im (PY4Im = (1,3-bis(bis(2-pyridyl)methyl)imidazol-2-ylidene)) having the general formula [(PY4Im)Co(X)](ClO) (X = NCMe; = 3: OH, N, NCS, ONO, F; = 2: OCO, = 1; (N), = 0) were prepared and structurally characterised. X-ray structural data are consistent with the presence of a influence due to the coordinated carbene carbon, and this is also supported by computational results. C NMR spectra of the complexes did not display peaks corresponding to the carbene carbon, except in the case of the [(PY4Im)Co(OCO)] cation, where a peak at = 170.

Implementing HbA1c monitoring in sub-Saharan Africa: Lessons learnt from a pilot project in Mozambique.

Aims: We aimed to evaluate lesson learnt from a pilot project in Mozambique focused on point-of-care (POC) HbA1c testing for diabetes management in primary health care facilities.

Methods: Over a three-year period, several health centers were equipped with POC HbA1c testing machines. The evaluation involved 12 months of data collection, interviews with patients and staff, and regular supervision visits.
