Background: This study aimed to produce, characterize, and apply a biosurfactant as a bioremediation tool for oil-contaminated coastal environments.
Methods: The biosurfactant was produced in a medium containing 5.0% corn steep liquor and 1.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effect of a supervised exercise training program (SETP) on the pathological complete response (pCR) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in women with early breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
- Sixty-four participants were analyzed, primarily with stage II and III disease, and results showed no significant difference in pCR rates (56.7% for SETP vs. 55.9% for control) or TIL levels between the two groups.
- The findings suggest that SETP may not influence pCR or TILs during NAC, highlighting the need for further research with larger sample sizes to explore these outcomes more conclusively.
Introduction: In the clinical medicine's immediate assistance unit, care is focused on outpatients with diseases that require early diagnosis, such as tuberculous adenitis (TA). The aim was to describe clinical features, complementary studies and procedures performed in patients with a diagnosis confirmed by bacteriology or pathological anatomy of TA.
Methods: Observational, descriptive, retrospective.

December 2024
Objective: This study examined whether blastocysts transferred on day 5 or day 6 of embryo development, as well as positivity for anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies, affect gestational outcomes in euthyroid women undergoing in vitro fertilisation.
Methods: Of 428 women who underwent in vitro fertilisation assessed in this retrospective cohort study, 212 (49.5%) underwent embryo transfer on day 5 of blastulation and 216 (50.
Osteosarcoma conventional chemotherapeutics are known for their side effects, limited options, and induction of drug resistance. This creates the need to develop new therapeutics capable of effectively destroying cancer cells with low toxicity, improving patient survival rate and their life quality. This work reports a novel drug delivery nanoplataform made of Natural Melanin Nanoparticles (MNPs), obtained from Sepia officinalis ink, with 99% incorporation efficiency of doxorubicin (Dox) without the use of non-toxic solvents.
