MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, single-stranded and noncoding RNA molecules of about 22 nucleotides (nt) in length that regulate mRNA by binding to 3' untranslated regions (3'UTR) of target mRNA, inducing digestion, degradation and/or translational repression of the latter. Posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression by miRNA is critical for a wide range of physiologic and pathologic processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, development and oncogenesis. Dendritic cells (DC) are professional antigen presenting cells that have a pivotal role in controlling immune responses. The latest studies indicated that miRNA are indispensable in regulation of development, differentiation and functions of DC. This review discusses the latest studies of miRNA controlling DC biological properties in order to deep understand the regulatory mechanism of DC, therefore, provide a new thinking for the therapeutic strategies of DC-associated immunological disorders.

Hypertension is a major global health issue that contributes significantly to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The management and prevention of hypertension often involve nutritional and dietary modifications, which are considered effective non-pharmacological strategies. In 2023, the Hypertension Research published several papers highlighting nutrition and hypertension.

Assessing the impact of climate change on water-related ecosystem services (ES) in Protected Areas (PAs) is essential for developing soil and water conservation strategies that promote sustainability and restore ES. However, the application of ES research in Protected Area (PA) management remains ambiguous and has notable shortcomings. This study primarily aimed to assess the SDR-InVEST (Sediment Delivery Ratio-Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs) model for estimating ES, including soil loss, sediment export, and sediment retention, under various climate change scenarios from 1997 to 2100 in the data-scarce region of the Bagh-e-Shadi Forest PA.

Purpose Of Review: Quickly referenceable, streamlined, algorithmic approaches for advanced pain management are lacking for patients, trainees, non-pain specialists, and interventional specialists. This manuscript aims to address this gap by proposing a comprehensive, evidence-based algorithm for managing neuropathic, nociceptive, and cancer-associated pain. Such an algorithm is crucial for pain medicine education, offering a structured approach for patient care refractory to conservative management.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to explore the evolving management strategies for stage III melanoma, focusing on the comparative effectiveness of traditional surgical approaches like complete lymph node dissection (CLND) versus modern adjuvant therapies. It also examines the latest evidence on the efficacy, risks, and complications of these strategies, emphasizing the role of shared decision-making between patients and clinicians.
Recent Findings: Recent clinical trials and meta-analyses, including the MSLT-II and DeCOG-SLT studies, have demonstrated that CLND may not significantly improve survival outcomes in melanoma patients with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB)-positive status.

Background: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the management of lateral epicondylitis (LE) have been characterized by substantial variability in reported outcomes. The source of this heterogeneity is uncertain.
Purpose: To determine the effect of estimated platelet concentration on the efficacy of PRP for the management of LE.
