Article Synopsis
  • Thyroid and salivary gland cytopathology often present diagnostic challenges due to overlapping features and rare conditions, prompting a focused seminar at the 45th European Congress of Cytology to address these issues.
  • The seminar showcased complex cases using fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) alongside histopathological and molecular analyses to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions.
  • The findings emphasize the necessity of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary diagnostic approach that integrates cytological, clinical, and histopathological data for accurate patient management.

Article Synopsis
  • This work presents a novel self-healing ring protection method using spatial-division multiplexing in a network featuring a 3-node, 2-fiber ring setup.
  • It utilizes advanced components like 4-core weakly-coupled multicore fibers and MEMS switches, allowing effective traffic management and real-time monitoring of fiber power levels.
  • The scheme successfully maintains high line-side traffic throughput exceeding 120 Tb/s, demonstrating minimal performance loss, making it a robust solution for modern optical networks.

Article Synopsis
  • Drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DI-ILD) is a rising complication associated with certain anti-cancer therapies, particularly newer drugs like trastuzumab-deruxtecan, affecting their safe use.
  • Different drugs cause lung damage via various mechanisms—primarily cytotoxic and immune-mediated—but the exact pathways remain unclear.
  • Effective diagnosis and management of DI-ILD require teamwork among healthcare professionals, patient education for early detection, and further research to develop standard treatment protocols.

Sheep pox and goat pox are infectious viral diseases that affect ovine and caprine animals and are caused by two viruses of the family , genus . Sheep pox has been traditionally endemic in Africa, the Middle East, and several Southeast Asian countries, but it is considered a transboundary disease capable of affecting previously free countries epidemically. It is a disease of compulsory immediate notification to the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) and the European Union (EU).

This review addresses new reporting systems for lung and pancreatobiliary cytopathology as well as the most recent edition of The Bethesda Reporting System for Thyroid Cytopathology. The review spans past, present, and future aspects within the context of the intricate interplay between traditional morphological assessments and cutting-edge molecular diagnostics. For lung and pancreas, the authors discuss the evolution of reporting systems, emphasizing the bridge between past directives and more recent collaborative efforts of the International Academy of Cytology and the World Health Organization in shaping universal reporting systems.
