This document presents guidelines to assist surgeons in the diagnosis and management of this condition, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach. Recommendations described by a group of physicians members of the Brazilian Society of Oncological Surgery regarding the treatment of neoplastic pericardial effusion, developed to guide oncological surgeons, cardiothoracic surgeons and general surgeons in their clinical practice. Members of the Thoracic Neoplasms Committee carried out a literature review and discussion among expert peers to create a guideline that would help in managing this very serious clinical condition in our oncology practice: Neoplastic pericardial effusion.

- - A review of 32 research papers assessed the impact of rumen-protected choline (RPC) supplementation on metabolic and reproductive performance in transitional dairy cows, with doses ranging from 10 to 100 gm/day and feeding periods varying from 40 to 140 days before and after calving.
- - Findings highlighted that adding herbal choline to dairy cows' diets increased milk production and quality, improved energy balance, and reduced oxidative stress, while also enhancing colostrum IgG concentration for better immunity in calves.
- - The review suggested that a daily RPC dosage of 45-50 gm from 3 weeks pre-calving to 8 weeks post-calving could boost milk yield by at least 10%, although the effects on
Introduction: Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is underdiagnosed globally resulting in missed treatment opportunities and adverse clinical outcomes. We describe the protocol for a study which aims to co-design, implement and conduct an evaluation of a task-sharing approach to echocardiographic active case finding for early detection and management of RHD in high-risk settings in Australia and Timor-Leste.
Methods And Analysis: Echocardiograms will be obtained by trained local staff using hand-held echocardiographic devices employing the 'Single Parasternal Long Axis view with a Sweep of the Heart' (SPLASH) technique and interpreted by experts remote from the site of acquisition.
Aims: Accruing evidence illustrates an emerging paradigm of dynamic vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) transdifferentiation during atherosclerosis progression. However, the molecular regulators that govern SMC phenotype diversification remain poorly defined. This study aims to elucidate the functional role and underlying mechanisms of cellular communication network factor 2 (CCN2), a matricellular protein, in regulating SMC plasticity in the context of atherosclerosis.
