In soybean breeding programs, a great deal of time is devoted to the use of methods that perform selection of individual plants during the initial generations. Our hypothesis is that BLUPIS (simulated individual BLUP) can be efficient when applied in the initial stages of soybean breeding programs. This study aimed to explore the potential of BLUPIS in the early generations of a soybean breeding program, as well as to assess the viability of the strategy of dividing the useful area of experimental plots for estimating genotypic effects and plant selection.

Materials And Methods: Eight patients diagnosed with contracted bladder due to UGT were evaluated. Data were obtained using face-to-face in-depth interviews and supplemented with medical records analysis and personal medical files.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the characteristics of oral reactions to injectable soft tissue fillers, focusing on 151 patients, predominantly females averaging 54.9 years old.
- Most reactions occurred about 20.4 months after injection, often presenting as painless nodules in the lips, with silicone and polymethylmetacrylate being the most common fillers used.
- Key findings showed differences in reaction patterns based on the type of filler and highlighted the importance for clinicians to recognize these potential reactions when assessing asymptomatic nodules in older female patients.
Does the addition of hyaluronidase to betamethasone in topical treatment of phimosis improves results? - A randomized double-blind clinical trial.

Article Synopsis
- Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin cannot be retracted, and this study aims to compare the effectiveness of two topical treatments—betamethasone alone versus betamethasone combined with hyaluronidase—in children aged 3-10 years.
- A total of 152 children participated, with treatments applied for 60 days, and results showed a success rate of 75.38% for the combination treatment compared to 64.06% for betamethasone alone, though this difference was not statistically significant.
- The study found no systemic absorption of cortisol from either treatment and concluded that both topical therapies are safe and effective, with no significant influence from factors like age or previous corticosteroid use
Obesity is a leading risk factor of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that contributes to poor disease prognosis and outcomes. Retrospective studies have identified this link, but interactions surrounding obesity and PDAC are still unclear. Research has shifted to contributions of fibrosis (desmoplasia) on malignancy, which involves increased deposition of collagens and other extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules and increased ECM crosslinking, all of which contribute to increased tissue stiffening.
