Design, synthesis, anti-inflammatory evaluation, and molecular docking studies of novel quinazoline-4(3)-one-2-carbothioamide derivatives.

In this paper, a series of novel quinazoline-4(3)-one-2-carbothioamide derivatives (8a-p) were designed and synthesized the Wilgerodt-Kindler reaction between 2-methylquinazoline-4-one 10 and amines using S/DMSO as the oxidizing system. Their characteristics were confirmed by IR, NMR, HRMS spectra, and their melting point. These novel derivatives (8a-p) were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Basal and Luminal Markers in Bladder Cancer: A Study from a Single Institution.

Background: Bladder cancer (BC) presents significant molecular diversity, which affects both prognosis and treatment results. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) facilitates the identification of molecular subtypes and their relationships with clinicopathological features.

Methods: We performed an IHC analysis on tissue samples from 107 BC patients, evaluating the expression of markers GATA3, CD44, CK5/6, and CK20.

Periorbital Microcystic Adnexal Carcinoma With Distant Metastases.

Purpose: Microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) is a locally aggressive adnexal carcinoma of the head and neck, which has a high tendency for recurrence. MAC rarely has distant metastasis, with only one previously reported case originating from the periorbital region. We present a patient with periorbital MAC with distant metastasis and a review of all reported patients with metastatic disease.

A pilot study for speech assessment to detect the severity of Parkinson's disease: An ensemble approach.

Background: Changes in voice are a symptom of Parkinson's disease and used to assess the progression of the condition. However, natural differences in the voices of people can make this challenging. Computerized binary speech classification can identify people with PD (PwPD), but its multiclass application to detect the severity of the disease remains difficult.

Reflexive eye saccadic parameters in Parkinson's disease.

Introduction: Abnormal reactive saccade, with reduced saccadic gain, impaired smooth pursuit, and unwarranted reactions are clinically used to assess people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). However, there are inconsistent findings related to other saccade parameters such as latency and transition times. This study aimed to identify differences in the reflexive saccade parameters of early stage PwPD and aged-matched control (AMC).
