The prognostic significance of angiogenesis has been demonstrated in various types of cancer. However, in colorectal cancer (CRC), there are conflicting results regarding the relationship between angiogenesis and clinical-histopathological prognostic factors. Mast cells are immune system cells found in the inflammatory microenvironment; their role in carcinogenesis and prognosis remains unclear although they are considered to cause cancer development and progression.

Poor survival in DEAC prompts the need for effective treatment modalities through better prognostic classification. MicroRNAs (miRNA) have essential roles in tumor angiogenesis, which might enable their use as novel biomarkers.

- - NIFTP is a newly classified thyroid neoplasm that has replaced the previous diagnosis of a certain type of thyroid cancer, with varying adoption rates noted across different global regions.
- - A survey of 48 pathologists showed a 94% adoption rate for diagnosing NIFTP, with North American pathologists diagnosing it more frequently than those in Europe and Asia/Oceania.
- - Significant differences exist in how pathologists assess nuclear features, especially for moderate changes, leading to regional variations in NIFTP diagnosis, with North American and European pathologists generally using lower thresholds for diagnosis compared to their counterparts in Asia/Oceania.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the clinical, electrophysiological, and histomorphological effects of local use of coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E combination in a rat model of peripheral nerve injury.
Methods: Forty adult female Wistar-Albino rats weighing 250-350 g were kept in a room with a temperature of 20-22°C and a light/dark cycle of 12 hours. They had free access to food and water.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of computer vision syndrome (CVS) among secretaries working in different departments of a university hospital in Turkey and its relationship with low-frequency electromagnetic field (LF-EMF) exposure.
Subjects And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 143 secretaries working in different departments of the hospital. Besides eye examinations, CVS Syndrome Questionnaire (CVS-Q) Scale and Ocular Surface Disease Index Scale (OSDI) were applied to the participants.
