The increase in the global prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), driven mainly by obesity and physical inactivity, has increased interest in various nonpharmacological therapies. This systematic review aims to establish the effectiveness of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and resistance exercise (RE) compared with continuous aerobic exercise in improving control in patients with DM2. We conducted a comprehensive search for clinical trials using databases such as MEDLINE (PubMed) and Web of Science.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to propose an update of the French guidelines from the national committee ccAFU on upper tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUC).

Methods: A systematic Medline search for epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment options and follow-up of UTUC was performed between 2022 and 2024 to evaluate available references and their levels of evidence.

Results: UTUC is a rare malignancy with specific risk factors, including exposure to aristolochic acid and Lynch syndrome.

Objective: To update the CCAFU recommendations for the management of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).

Methods: A systematic review (Medline) of the literature from 20222024 was performed, taking into account the elements of diagnosis, treatment options and monitoring of NMIBC and evaluating references with their level of evidence.

Results: The diagnosis of NMIBC (Ta, T1, or CIS) is made after complete and deep tumour resection.

Objective: To update the CCAFU recommendations for the management of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).

Methods: A systematic review (Medline) of the literature from 2022 to 2024 was carried out, taking into account the elements of the diagnosis, the treatment options and the monitoring of NMIBC and MIBC, evaluating the references with their level of evidence.

Results: MIBC is diagosed after the must complete tumor resection possible .

Nucleoproteins (N) play an essential role in virus assembly and are less prone to mutation than other viral structural proteins, making them attractive targets for drug discovery. Using an NMR fragment-based drug discovery approach, we identified the 1,3-benzothiazol-2-amine (BZT) group as a scaffold to develop potential antivirals for SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein. A thorough characterization of BZT derivatives using NMR, X-ray crystallography, antiviral activity assays, and intrinsic fluorescence measurements revealed their binding in the C-terminal domain (CTD) domain of the N protein, to residues Arg 259, Trp 330, and Lys 338, coinciding with the nucleotide binding site.
