Article Synopsis
- Lyell's syndrome, also known as Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), is a severe skin condition primarily caused by an allergic reaction to medications.* -
- Recent developments in cancer treatments, such as targeted therapy and immunotherapy, are increasingly linked to cases of Lyell's syndrome, although traditional anti-cancer drugs were less frequently associated.* -
- Two case studies illustrate TEN occurring in patients undergoing treatment for metastatic cancers with new therapies; unfortunately, both patients succumbed to the condition despite prompt medical intervention.*
Haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) is one of the most effective therapies for treating malignant haematological disorders. However, HLA disparities are significant barriers to the success of this process since they increase the risk of graft versus host disease (GvHD). HLA disparities quantification could help to anticipate the probability and degree of GvHD, but the best tool for such quantification remains a challenge.

Although integrated management and control programs implement intense control measures for adult, pupal, larval, and breeding sites during outbreaks, there is a lack of studies to understand the role of the vector egg stage in disease dynamics. This study aimed to assess the dry season quiescent and egg populations in houses and backyards in Tapachula, southern Mexico. Two hundred and fifty ovitraps were placed in 125 homes in the Las Americas neighborhood.

Stigmasterol, a nonelectroactive phytosterol, was selected as a representative case. Chevron-like graphene nanoribbons, chemically synthesized, were immobilized onto glassy carbon electrodes and covalently functionalized to allow the on-surface formation of a supramolecular complex.

- A study tested various strategies to boost physical activity in breast cancer survivors, revealing that many survivors still don’t meet recommended activity levels.
- 337 participants received a mix of interventions, and those who had supervised exercise showed significant increases in both moderate-to-vigorous and light-intensity physical activity.
- The positive effects of supervised sessions persisted even after they ended, highlighting their potential for ongoing improvements in physical activity among survivors.
