Clinical management of indeterminate thyroid nodules needs to be revisited. New evidence for a personalized approach to the problem.

Purpose: Thyroid nodules diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) as TIR3A or Class III subgroup "other types of atypia" (indeterminate thyroid nodules - ITNs), are the only ones without a unique clinical action indicated for management. This leads to multiple FNAC repetitions (FNAC-reps) and lifelong follow-up, with huge consumption of time and resources. The aims of the study were to inquire the usefulness of repeating FNAC in ITNs and perform an evaluation of a long-term follow-up of a large cohort of ITNs.

The Role of the Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1 ( ) in Ovarian Cancer: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is one among most significantly fatal gynecological cancers, with late-stage detection and an inadequate prognosis. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 ( ) gene anticipates negative outcomes in many different kinds of malignancies. Several research investigations are currently being done to examine the biological role of in OC and the possible benefits of targeted pharmacotherapies.

XIII Consenso SIBEN sobre Traslado Neonatal: Establecer protocolos estructurados para el proceso del traslado neonatal podría mejorar los desenlaces.

La centralización de los partos de alto riesgo en los hospitales con el más alto nivel de atención es fundamental para ampliar el margen de seguridad materno-neonatal y mejorar los desenlaces. Por lo tanto, es altamente recomendable trasladar oportunamente a las pacientes gestantes portadoras de embarazos de alto riesgo y/o con amenazas de parto pretérmino a centros de atención terciaria, sin embargo, no siempre es posible anticipar los riesgos antenatalmente, lo cual resulta en la necesidad de trasladar a neonatos en estado crítico. Lamentablemente, la movilización de los recién nacidos compromete aún más su estado de salud, especialmente en los países latinoamericanos.

Activity-based contracting for optimization of the mass distribution of insecticide-treated nets in the Democratic Republic of Congo: pilot implementation in Kwilu province.

Background: Promoting the use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs) is one of the main strategies for reducing malaria-related morbidity. An innovative activity-based contracting (ABC) approach has been implemented in Kwilu Province, Democratic Republic of Congo to optimize ITN mass distribution campaigns, with payments based on contractually defined programmatic outcomes for key campaign activities following independent verification of results.

Methods: This internal evaluation was carried out using a mixed methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative document and content analysis from a series of three workshops: validation workshops for campaign results at provincial level for the 2021 and 2022 campaigns; internal evaluation workshop for the Kwilu campaign as part of the ABC approach organized by "Santé pour tous en milieu rural" (SANRU) with its sub-contractors; and national campaign evaluation workshop organized by the National Malaria Control Program.

Synthesis of 2,4-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde Hybrid Thiosemicarbazones as Prolyl Oligopeptidase Inhibitors for Neurodegenerative Disorders and their In-silico Analysis.

Introduction: Prolyl-specific oligopeptidase (POP), one of the brain's highly expressed enzymes, is an important target for the therapy of central nervous system disorders, notably autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia.

Method: The current study was designed to investigate 2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl) benzaldehyde- based thiosemicarbazones as POP inhibitors to treat the above-mentioned disorders. A variety of techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), were used for the structural confirmation of synthesized compounds.
