Objective: Apoptosis, measured via caspase activity, can be used to assess renal tissue damage in haemorrhagic shock. We investigated whether Triiodothyronine could attenuate apoptosis and protect against haemorrhagic shock-induced renal injury.
Methods: Haemorrhagic shock was induced in swine until the mean arterial pressure (MAP) was 35-40 mmHg for 40 minutes.
Polymorphic variability in the tumour-suppressor protein p53 at codon 72 has a considerable impact on cervical cancer development. The present study clarified the association between p53 codon 72 genotypes and the risk of cervical disease in Greek patients. We also examined whether the presence of specific p53 genotypes in combination with HPV16 variants or E6 T350G sequence variation can modify an individual's susceptibility to cervical disease.

- A 14-year-old girl had a skin bump on her left arm near the elbow that got bigger over 5 months.
- The bump was a rare type of tumor called a cutaneous hybrid tumor, which is a mix of an epidermal cyst and a cystic pilomatricoma.
- This kind of tumor is usually not common and can look similar to other skin problems, but in this case, it grew larger and needed to be looked at by doctors.
