Aggressiveness evaluation of borderline serous ovarian tumors by analysis of Psammoma bodies present in cancer tissues using micro-FTIR spectroscopy.

Borderline ovarian tumor is a type of tumor with generally low malignant potential. However, these tumors pose diagnostic challenges with benign and malignant epithelial ovarian tumors because the clinical symptoms are similar and investigation procedures for specific diagnosis are still debated. In addition, a small number of borderlines transform into high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma with a poor prognosis.

Absolute beta power in exercisers and nonexercisers in preparation for the oddball task.

Background:  High levels of physical conditioning are associated with improvements in cognitive performance. In this sense, electroencephalographic (ECG) correlates are used to investigate the enhancing role of physical exercise on executive functions. Oscillations in the β frequency range are proposed to be evident during sensorimotor activity.

Associations between Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Timed Up and Go Test for Elderly Participants in Public Physical Activity Programs.

Unlabelled: Variables such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist/height ratio (WHtR) are used to assess cardiovascular risks associated with abdominal obesity. The Timed Up and Go (TTUG) test assesses mobility and the risk of falls, especially in the elderly and individuals with physical limitations. The objective was to correlate anthropometric indicators of cardiovascular risk (BMI, WC, WHtR) with performance on the TTUG test in elderly people who practice physical activity.

Cannabis policy liberalization is only associated with increased blunt use if states lack strong tobacco control.

Introduction: Co-use of tobacco and cannabis has long been an issue for prevention and intervention efforts targeting these substances. Blunt use-cannabis inside a cigar wrapper-has been a consistent mode of cannabis consumption since the 1990s. Since then, both tobacco control and cannabis policies have changed considerably.
