Poorly differentiated (insular) thyroid carcinoma (PDITC) is an uncommon thyroglobulin producing neoplasm intermediate in aggressiveness between well-differentiated carcinomas of follicular cell origin and undifferentiated anaplastic carcinoma. Its cytomorphological recognition is essential for planning surgery and subsequent management as it is known for its aggressive behavior, advanced stage at presentation, local recurrences and rapid dissemination. We report a case of PDITC arising in a long-standing goiter, in which presence of microfollicular structures and minimal necrosis resulted in difficulty in distinguishing it from a follicular neoplasm of thyroid.

Background/objectives: COVID-19 is characterised by a wide variety of clinical manifestations, and clinical tests and genetic analysis might help to predict patient outcomes.
Methods: In the current study, the expression of genes related to immune response (, , , , , and ) was analysed in the upper airway and paired-blood samples from 25 subjects infected with SARS-CoV-2. Relative gene expression was determined by RT-qPCR.

The recent thematic Assessment Report on Invasive Alien Species and their Control of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services reaffirmed biological invasions as a major threat to biodiversity. Anticipating biological invasions is crucial for avoiding their ecological and socio-economic impacts, particularly as climate change may provide new opportunities for the establishment and spread of alien species. However, no studies have combined assessments of suitability and dispersal to evaluate the invasion by key taxonomic groups, such as mammals.

Article Synopsis
- - A 72-year-old man with faintness was diagnosed with sick sinus syndrome and experienced an Adams-Stokes attack, leading to the implantation of a permanent pacemaker.
- - After developing seizures, CT scans revealed herpes simplex virus DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid, prompting immediate treatment with intravenous acyclovir.
- - Despite treatment, the patient's condition worsened with additional brain damage and ultimately led to death from aspiration pneumonia, highlighting the need to consider herpes encephalitis in cases of sinus node dysfunction.

Article Synopsis
- Grip strength is a key health indicator, especially in individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD), but factors influencing its decline in AUD have not been studied.
- A research study analyzed data from 53 control participants and 110 individuals with AUD (including 53 with HIV) to identify factors that predict grip strength.
- Key predictors for grip strength included brain structure measurements and health metrics, with unique factors identified for both controls and AUD participants, highlighting the importance of understanding different influences on grip strength in these groups.
