Azadirachtin is a highly interesting compound both for its chemical structure, which required 18 years to solve, and its synthesis, which required another 22 years, and for its biological properties as a feeding deterrent for many insects and a growth disruptant for most insects and many other arthropods. Its mode of action, structure-activity relationships, and its biosynthesis still require much research. A valuable natural pesticide, it has very low toxicity for vertebrates, and yet it has still not achieved a prominent place among pesticides and in many countries it is not yet licensed for use. An attempt is made to understand its failure to capture a larger market, 40 years after its discovery.

Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is the most common endocrine cancer, accounting for 90-95% of thyroid malignancy and predominant in the female population of all age groups. Surgery is the standard primary treatment for patients with DTC, followed by radioactive iodine therapy (RAIT) when indicated. After the main treatment, patients receive thyroid hormone therapy in a variety of regimens, either as a replacement therapy or as a therapy intended to suppress secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).

Materials And Methods: Serum iodine (I), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn) concentrations were measured using inductively coupled plasma ionization tandem mass spectrometry (Agilent 8900 ICP-MS Triple Quad); by chemiluminescent immunoassay on an automatic analyzer Architect i2000 - TSH and AT-TPO in blood serum; by enzyme immunoassay - ZnT8A; biochemical method - ALP, SOD1 in 1150 people aged from 18 to 65 years (the average age of the subjects was 40±5 years). Ultrasound of the thyroid gland was performed in the supine position using a portable ultrasound machine LOGIQe with a multifrequency linear sensor 10-15 MHz; during the study, the volume of the thyroid gland, the presence of nodules and their characteristics according to the TIRADS classification, the structure of the thyroid gland and its echogenicity were assessed.
Unmet Needs Among Older Adult Informal Caregivers and Care Recipients in Singapore: A Qualitative Study.

Centre for Population Health Research and Implementation, Regional Health System, Singapore Health Services Pte Ltd, Singapore, Singapore.
With the global population aging, it is imperative to have a thorough understanding of the unmet needs experienced by older adults who require caregiving or are informal caregivers. It is also important to understand how the perspectives of caregivers and care recipients might differ and interact to mutually shape experiences during the care journey. The primary aim of this study was to provide an in-depth and holistic understanding of the unmet needs and challenges experienced by older informal caregivers and care recipients.

Department of Critical Care Medicine, Shenzhen Second People's Hospital, Shenzhen, China.
Background: The relationship between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) values and the development of diabetes in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients is not yet well researched. This study aims to examine how the baseline TyG levels correlate with the incidence of new-onset diabetes in this specific cohort.
Methods: This cohort included 2,506 normoglycemic Japanese adults with NAFLD who underwent routine health check-ups at Murakami Memorial Hospital between 2004 and 2015.
