Cancer and infection diseases pose severe threats to public health worldwide stressing the need for more effective and efficient treatments. Thus, the search for broad-spectrum activity drugs seems justifiable and urgent. Herein, we investigate the anticancer and antitrypanosomatid (anti-Trypanosoma cruzi) activities of eight monoanionic metal bis(dithiolene) complexes, [PhP][M(R-thiazdt)] with M = Au, Pt, Pd, Ni, containing N-alkyl-1,3-thiazoline-2-thione dithiolene ligands (R-thiazdt) with different alkyl groups (R = Et, tBu).

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of a training program for oocyte retrieval (ORSTP) on the clinical performance of medical residents.
  • Residents who completed the ORSTP showed similar rates of successful oocyte retrieval compared to those who did not receive the training.
  • Although the training did not enhance the actual performance metrics, it was found that those who underwent the training experienced less stress and had greater confidence in their oocyte retrieval abilities.

Modern materials science has made significant progress in creating new materials and processes for waste recovery. One such advancement involves the development of a new porous composite material made from clay and an environmentally sustainable eggshell powder. In this study, the dynamic behavior of water vapor during desorption and adsorption processes within this composite material was investigated.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the effects of partial term prelabor rupture of membranes (TPROM) on the spontaneous onset of labor, comparing it with complete TPROM in over 389 women at a French maternity hospital.
  • Findings revealed that only 45% of women with partial TPROM went into spontaneous labor within 24 hours, significantly lower than the 64% for those with complete TPROM.
  • The study concluded that having a partial TPROM increases the likelihood of not going into labor within 24 hours, indicating that residual membranes might delay labor onset.

Article Synopsis
  • The article outlines a transvaginal radiofrequency ablation of myomas (TRAM) procedure in 10 key steps aimed at treating a 38-year-old woman suffering from heavy menstrual bleeding and chronic anemia due to a large cervical myoma.
  • Following a failed embolization, TRAM was chosen because of its minimal invasiveness and the patient's desire for future pregnancies.
  • The authors conclude that while TRAM is a promising alternative to traditional surgical methods, there are concerns about its safety regarding infertility and pregnancy, as current devices are not recommended for women who wish to conceive.
