Objectives: (1) To compare the results of a rapid test for qualitative detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) values >1 ng/mL with those obtained using a reference quantitative method and (2) to perform a semiquantitative assessment of rapid test results using this point-of-care (POC) assay.
Design: Prospective cross-sectional study from April 2015 to November 2020.
Setting: Secondary referral hospital.
Article Synopsis
- Biphasic papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) is a rare subtype of PRCC with less than 70 reported cases, characterized by a biphasic morphology that includes squamoid features.
- This study analyzed 17 cases of biphasic PRCC, finding that the average age was 62 years, with a slight male predominance, and most tumors were confined to the kidney, though a few exhibited metastasis.
- Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that biphasic PRCC tumors show strong expression of specific markers like PAX8 and keratin 7, and about a third of cases had mutations in the MET gene, indicating a potential for further research into their molecular characteristics and behavior.

Data management "behind the scenes" refers to collection, cleaning, imputation, and demarcation; and despite of being indispensable processes, they are usually neglected and thus, generate erroneous information. During the collection are errors: omission of covariates, deviation from the objective, and insufficient quality. The omission of covariates distorts the result attributed to the main manoeuvre.

Objective: To assess the occupational factors associated with the occurrence of COVID-19 in health personnel who were exposed to different magnitudes of risk and who followed the United Nations crisis management policy for COVID-19.
Methods: Cross-sectional survey conducted between April and May 2021. The low-risk group (LRG) were considered to be those who had minimal contact with patients; the medium-risk group (MRG) had contact with non-COVID-19 patients and did not perform instrumental airway intervention; and the high-risk group (HRG) were those who cared for COVID-19 patients and performed instrumental intervention with aerosol generation.
Objective: Self-reported body silhouette is an anthropometric instrument that has been utilized as a screening tool for underweight, overweight, obesity, and other abnormal anthropometric variables. Herein, we analyzed the risk associated with the self-reported body silhouette in the scope of dyslipidemias, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, and hypertension.
Methods: Adult participants of the Health Workers Cohort Study enrolled between March 2004 and April 2006 were included.
