The main agents for tick control are chemical acaricides. However, when used without technical guidance, they can lead to environmental damage and the development of resistant tick strains. In this context, vaccines are alternative o be used in integrated tick management format by combining with other effective tools.

Through a modified Delphi process with consensus of at least 80%, agreement was reached for preferred terms, synonyms, and terms to avoid. An intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) is defined as a pregnancy implanted in a normal location within the uterus.

- The study evaluates the effectiveness of the TI-RADS system for managing thyroid nodules in children, noting that using adult FNAB recommendations might delay cancer diagnoses in pediatric patients.
- After reviewing 96 surgically resected nodules, the researchers found that 52% were malignant and identified a need to adjust the FNAB thresholds to improve cancer detection rates.
- The modified TI-RADS recommendations proposed include performing FNAB on certain nodules based on size, which successfully reduced the missed malignancy rate from 4% to 0%.
Ticks parasitize various hosts, including humans, and are known to transmit pathogens that can be harmful not only to animals but also to humans. To evaluate the possible presence of pathogens in ticks, we aimed to collect and identify tick fauna specimens in Lagoa Comprida Municipal Natural Park, an anthropogenic urban area located in Aquidauana, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. A total of 1216 ticks, of which 51.
