Neutrophils are essential for innate immunity, using mechanisms like Neutrophil Extracellular Trap (NET) formation to fight pathogens. Aggregated NETs (aggNETs) help resolve inflammation by cleaving pro-inflammatory cytokines, while scattered NETs can exacerbate inflammation, leading to tissue damage. Co-injection of 10 nm nanodiamonds (ND10) with peptide antigens boosts immune responses, including anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunity, due to transient immune responses induced by aggNETs around ND10 particles.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The anatomical relationships between the duodenum and the common bile duct in its distal parts starting from its retroduodenal part to the sphincter of Oddi were studied. The possibility of transillumination of the walls of the common bile duct and the duodenum by a light source introduced into the lumen of the common bile duct is determined.
Background: This report presents the management of patient with extracranial internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm due to giant cell arteritis.
Case Presentation: Left internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed in a 57-year-old Ukrainian woman, which became a direct indication for surgical treatment involving aneurysm resection and internal carotid artery reimplantation. The used reconstruction technique with oblique cutting of internal carotid artery, aneurysm resection, ellipse-form anastomosis formation, and distal intima fixation prevents the dissection, restenosis, and aneurysm of anastomosis in the long-term postoperative period.
Objective: Aim: To evaluate the functional connection and the bioelectrical state of the m.masseter and m. sternocleidomastoid using functional tests before and after treatment.

This review systematically reviewed English-language literature from digital repositories, namely Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library. The search strategy employed a targeted selection of keywords: "chemotherapy," "radiotherapy," "multimodal," and "surgery," encompassing publications published before January 2024.
