Background: Radiotherapy with or without concurrent chemotherapy is a standard of care treatment for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Upon completion, patients are referred for a post-treatment F-FDG PET/CT (Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography) scan to help guide ongoing management by assessing for the presence or absence of residual or recurrent disease and differentiating this from post-treatment inflammation. To improve objective reporting of response, we developed the Christie score.

Thus, massive device connectivity with huge data traffic is expected in the future where communication networks are expected to provide ubiquity, high quality of service, and on-demand content for a large number of interconnected devices. The sixth-generation (6G) network is considered the problem-solving network of futuristic cities, with huge bandwidth and low latency.

- - The study investigates the relationship between kisspeptin levels and antenatal complications like hypertensive disorders, fetal growth restriction, gestational diabetes, and preterm birth, analyzing data from 105 women with complications and 265 with normal pregnancies.
- - Findings show that kisspeptin levels vary by condition: higher levels in hypertensive disorders and lower in fetal growth restriction during the third trimester, suggesting a potential link to placental function.
- - The results indicate kisspeptin could serve as a biomarker for antenatal complications, highlighting the need for further research to understand its clinical implications.
Objective: To compare the performance of kisspeptin and beta human chorionic gonadotropin (βhCG), both alone and in combination, as biomarkers for miscarriage throughout the first trimester.
Design: Prospective, nested case-control study.
Setting: Tertiary Centre, Queen Charlotte Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Trachoma is a neglected tropical disease that causes an eye infection which can lead to blindness if left untreated. In 1998, the World Health Organisation (WHO) launched a new goal to eradicate trachoma by 2020. Over the years, in partnership with the WHO, an effective strategy plan was devised to help tackle and control the disease.
