January 2025
Brazil is an influential and successful food-producing country, where we can highlight artisanal cheeses gaining visibility in foreign markets. Some of these cheeses are made from raw milk, making them susceptible to contamination by microorganisms, including fungi, which can produce harmful mycotoxins. Feed contaminated with aflatoxin B1, when consumed by dairy animals, is metabolized and transformed into aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), which is excreted in milk.

- A study investigated the effects of high-risk coronary artery plaques on late luminal narrowing and clinical events in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention.
- Over one year, the coronary artery lumen area decreased notably, especially in specific types of plaques, such as thin-cap and thick-cap fibroatheromas.
- Thin-cap fibroatheroma presence was linked to a higher risk of needing further revascularization procedures after ischemia, while no significant connection was found between coronary artery calcium levels and clinical outcomes within three years.
Article Synopsis
- * Patient symptoms included fever, headache, and hearing loss, with tests revealing infection indicators and abnormal brain lesions confirmed through advanced imaging techniques.
- * Rapid pathological diagnosis, including immunohistochemistry and PCR, played a vital role in distinguishing the cryptococcoma from a potential malignant tumor, leading to successful antifungal treatment.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on improving the diagnosis of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) during surgery by using intraoperative rapid immunohistochemistry (IHC), along with cytology and flow cytometry (FCM) for quicker and more accurate treatment decisions.
- - In a trial involving 35 patients from April 2020 to January 2024, the addition of cytology and FCM to rapid IHC significantly sped up the time from surgery to chemotherapy initiation for PCNSL (1.6 days versus 7.3 days), demonstrating the benefits of this combined approach.
- - Final pathological diagnoses confirmed the consistency of intraoperative rapid IHC results, and the combined method resulted in changes in treatment strategy in certain
Article Synopsis
- Neoatherosclerosis is a major cause of late stent failure after drug-eluting stent implantation, and the study aimed to compare biodegradable (BP) and durable polymer (DP) drug-eluting stents in patients with STEMI over a 3-year period.
- The CONNECT trial randomly assigned 239 STEMI patients to receive either BP-EES or DP-EES, with the primary goal of assessing neoatherosclerosis using optical coherence tomography (OCT) at the 3-year mark.
- Results showed no significant difference in the occurrence of neoatherosclerosis or other complications between the two stent types, indicating that BP-EES did not perform better than DP-EES in preventing neoatherosclerosis after
