Historically, adolescents and young adults diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have faced lower survival rates compared to children with the same illness. Bullous pemphigoid (BP), a rare autoimmune skin disorder, poses unique challenges when occurring alongside hematologic malignancies. A 23-year-old male with ALL-L1 diagnosis who developed bullous pemphigoid in this report.

While clinical parameters like bleeding on probing (BoP) and pocket depth (PD) are commonly used, periapical radiographs provide valuable information about bone loss and periodontal ligament changes. However, a clear definition of early periodontitis, particularly regarding alveolar bone crest changes, remains elusive.

- Molecular biomarkers, specifically SPACA1, are linked to sperm fertility characteristics and may improve the accuracy of assessing bull fertility.
- The study analyzed SPACA1 mRNA and protein levels in frozen semen from 20 Bali bulls, classified into high and low fertility groups, using various semen quality tests.
- Results indicated that higher levels of SPACA1 are associated with better fertility rates and semen quality, suggesting its potential as a reliable biomarker for bull fertility.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the frozen semen quality of Friesian Holstein bulls to assess male fertility for artificial insemination, comparing proven and unproven bulls based on various scientific analyses.
- Six proven and six unproven bulls' semen was tested using advanced techniques like Computer Assisted Semen Analysis and staining methods to measure parameters like sperm motility, viability, and DNA integrity.
- Results showed no significant differences in frozen semen quality between proven and unproven bulls, indicating that both types are equally viable for breeding programs and highlighting the importance of molecular analysis in assessing semen health.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze CD 133 stem cell biomarker levels in serum and bronchial lavage, as well as correlate these levels with treatment responses and outcomes in patients with advanced-stage NSCLC.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional, observational, and analytical study that analyzed data from NSCLC patients and control at Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Makassar.
