The phase diagram for the quasi-binary Tl2Se-Bi2Te3 system has been established based on the results of phase studies by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The diagram for the title system presented in this paper has been compared with that previously published by other authors. As a result of the research, a significant correction of the former phase diagram was made, because it was found that the components of the studied system formed three new chemical compounds.

- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two tumor markers, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA19-9, in assessing disease stage in colorectal cancer patients.
- A total of 155 patients' data from surgeries performed between 2015-2018 were analyzed, showing a significant correlation between CEA levels and disease stage, while CA19-9 showed no significant relationship.
- The findings suggest that higher CEA levels are indicative of more advanced colorectal cancer, but neither marker was related to the tumor's anatomical location.
Background: This paper describes a unique case-the first case of multiple fractures of the thoracic vertebrae caused by a low-voltage electric shock.
Case Presentation: A 22-year-old male patient was diagnosed with compression fractures of Th2-Th6 caused by a muscle spasm resulting from an electric shock. The patient was treated conservatively using a cervico-thoracic support corset.
As sports technology has continued to develop, monitoring athlete workloads, performance, and recovery has demonstrated boundless benefits for athlete and team success. Specifically, technologies such as global positioning systems (GPS) and heart rate (HR) monitors have granted the opportunity to delve deeper into performance contributors, and how variations may exist based upon context. A team of NCAA Division I women's soccer athletes were monitored during games throughout one competitive season.
