We report a case of combined noninvasive ductal and lobular carcinoma. The patient was a 54-year-old woman with a breast tumor. The tumor was a palpable movable mass measuring 1 cm in diameter in the AC region of her breast. Mammography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and vacuum-assisted core-needle biopsy were performed. The histopathological diagnosis was intraductal papillary cystic lesion. However, there was also a ductal lesion. We performed lumpectomy, and the diagnosis was combined noninvasive ductal and lobular carcinoma. It was difficult to determine the range of carcinoma, and thus, we performed Bt+Ax. Combined noninvasive ductal and lobular carcinoma is rare. We should study additional cases and develop more adequate treatments.

Breath biopsy is emerging as a rapid and non-invasive diagnostic tool that links exhaled chemical signatures with specific medical conditions. Despite its potential, clinical translation remains limited by the challenge of reliably detecting endogenous, disease-specific biomarkers in breath. Synthetic biomarkers represent an emerging paradigm for precision diagnostics such that they amplify activity-based biochemical signals associated with disease fingerprints.

However, these factors are often studied in isolation, limiting our ability to evaluate their combined influence. This study investigates how marine environmental variables, foraging behaviour and social factors (divorce), influence reproductive success in little penguins () over 13 breeding seasons.

Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, affecting women of reproductive age. It is linked with debilitating pain, infertility, and a notable impact on the patient's quality of life. This review aims to highlight the effectiveness of hormonal therapy, surgical procedures, and complementary therapies in managing endometriosis-related pain, providing a comprehensive overview of current treatment options and their implications for clinical practice.

A wide number of natural molecules demonstrated neuroprotective effects on synaptic plasticity defects induced by amyloid-β (Aβ) in and Alzheimer's disease (AD) models, suggesting a possible use in the treatment of this neurodegenerative disorder. However, several compounds, administered parenterally and orally, are unable to reach the brain due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) which prevents the passage of external substances, such as proteins, peptides, or phytocompounds, representing a limit to the development of treatment for neurodegenerative diseases, such as AD. The combination of nano vesicular systems, as colloidal systems, and nose to brain (NtB) delivery depicts a new nanotechnological strategy to overtake this limit and to develop new treatment approaches for brain diseases, including the use of natural molecules in combination therapy for AD.

Background: To evaluate the role of ultrasound (US) in the assessment of the airway and to determine whether US has the potential to serve as effective, noninvasive and less time-consuming method for the diagnosis of difficult intubation in ICU patients.
Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried in 152 critically ill patients who underwent intubation in the ICU from December 2022 to April 2024. Prior to intubation thyromental height (TMH) and hyomental distance ratio (HMD-R) was measured using a scale and distance from skin to hyoid bone (SHB) and distance from skin to thyrohyoid membrane (STM) was measured using a US.
