Primary mucoepidermoid tumors of the lung are rare entities. Synchronous primary malignancies of the lung involving mucoepidermoid carcinoma and mucinous adenocarcinoma are even rarer and constitute a unique set of patient population. The presentation, diagnosis and treatment strategies for this patient population are not well described. In most cases, the diagnosis of synchronous primary lung malignancy is made after pathological examination of the resected lung specimen. Molecular and genetic analysis is now being used to supplement the diagnosis of synchronous primary lung malignancies. In this work, we briefly discuss the current state of knowledge of this unique combination of primary lung malignancies and describe the clinical presentation and management of a patient with a rare combination of synchronous primary lung malignancies.

Background: Socioeconomic inequality in infant mortality in the UK is rising. This study aims to identify contributory maternal and pregnancy factors that can explain the known association between area deprivation and infant mortality.
Methods: A cohort study was conducted using Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) primary care data between 2004 and 2019 linked to the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), and infant mortality from the Office for National Statistics death data.
Mentoring and mentor development, while interconnected, serve distinct purposes within the academic community. Although the effects of mentoring programs for mentees are well-documented, the impact of mentor development programs on mentee outcomes is less explored. This study investigates the effect of a faculty mentor development program on mentee scholarly productivity.

We present а rare clinical case of successful surgical treatment - combined left-sided hemicolectomy and cecal resection for colon cancer of two locations in a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, which, in our opinion, is due to radiation exposure is presented. It is shown that the biological effects of long-term ionizing radiation on critical organs can have a diverse nature both in terms of the time of occurrence and in their structure, which requires an individual approach, the involvement of related specialists and the necessary medical preoperative preparation for precise planning of surgical intervention taking into account all possible risks.

Introduction: Fibromyalgia (FM) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are complex central sensitization syndromes that represent an important public health problem. Low cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle function with habitual intolerance to efforts are common characteristics of FM and CFS. This study aimed to examine the effect of a brief multicomponent intervention based on physical activity (PA), nutrition, and chronobiology on movement behaviors (PA, sedentary and sleep time), muscle strength, and cardiorespiratory capacity.

Background: Although the approval of immunotherapy in patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) has significantly improved the patient's prognosis, synchronous chemoradiotherapy has always been the standard treatment for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC).
Objectives: Immuno-combined and radio-combined therapy in LS-SCLC has been applied in clinical practice, but what is the best for LS-SCLC?
Design: This was a retrospective cohort study.
Methods: Patients with LS-SCLC from January 2019 to December 2023 were retrospectively screened and divided into three groups according to the initial treatment regimen whether included immune-combined and radio-combined treatment.
