Objectives: Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are integral components of the human genome, and their reactivation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of some malignancies. External viral co-infections are suspected to play a role in HERV transactivation. This study aimed to investigate the expression of HERV-K np9 elements and HERV-R env gene in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients.

- PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are long-lasting chemicals that accumulate in humans and the environment, raising global health concerns since their toxicity wasn't fully recognized until the late 1990s despite being in use since the 1940s.
- An analysis of secret industry documents reveals that manufacturers were aware of PFAS's high toxicity by 1970, long before public awareness, and employed tactics similar to those used by the tobacco industry, including suppressing negative research.
- The findings highlight the need for greater transparency in industry research to better inform public health policies and avoid the suppression of crucial health information regarding hazardous chemicals.
The most frequent cause of hyperthyroidism in children is Graves' disease (GD). Vascular endothelium is a specific target of thyroid hormone. The purpose of this study is to assess flow-mediated dilatation (FMD)% and serum von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels in children with newly diagnosed GD to reflect the extent of endothelial dysfunction in those children.
