Diagnostic features of nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) include a nodular, or a nodular and diffuse, proliferation of scattered tumor cells, set within a background of B cells reminiscent of primary or secondary lymphoid follicles. On morphologic and immunohistologic grounds, six different patterns have been recognized in NLPHL. An additional nodular pattern of NLPHL, in which lymphocyte predominant cells reside in an environment reminiscent of lymphoid follicles and do not spread to the extranodular space, has been identified. Recently, the prognostic impact of 'histopathologic NLPHL variants', which include cases characterized by the presence of lymphocyte predominant cells outside the B-cell nodules or B-cell depletion of the microenvironment has been evaluated. These 'histopathologic variants' were associated with advanced stage disease and higher relapse rate. Therefore, assessing and defining 'histopathologic variants' patterns in NLPHL may be useful for the management of the patients.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic vascular disease characterized by inflammation of the arterial wall and the formation of cholesterol plaques. Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is an autoimmune disorder marked by chronic inflammation and destruction of thyroid tissue. Although previous studies have identified common risk factors between AS and HT, the specific etiology and pathogenic mechanisms underlying these associations remain unclear.

The Burro de Miranda is an endangered donkey breed. The dynamics of the immune system of the donkey's reproductive tract are essential to manage the fertility of these animals for the improvement and survival of the species. In mares, high numbers of immune cells infiltrating the endometrium promote endometrosis, which is still to be confirmed in jennies.

Pregnancy involves significant immunological changes to support fetal development while protecting the mother from infections. A growing body of evidence supports the importance of immune checkpoint pathways, especially at the maternal-fetal interface, although limited information is available about the peripheral expression of these molecules by CD8+ and CD8- NK cell subsets during the trimesters of pregnancy. Understanding the dynamics of these immune cells and their checkpoint pathways is crucial for elucidating their roles in pregnancy maintenance and potential complications.

Background: The involvement of inflammation in the start and advancement of atherosclerotic plaques in acute coronary syndrome has been clarified. White blood cell count and its differential are key inflammatory markers in cardiovascular disease, with the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) emerging as a marker of inflammation and a predictor of mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The study aims to investigate the utility of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and other complete blood count parameters as a risk stratification tool and independent predictor of Global Registry for Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score in Non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).
