Background: Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and N-terminal B-type natriuretic propeptide (proBNP) are mainly used as biomarkers to diagnose specific conditions of the heart, but they also have predictive ability. Our aim was to study their associations with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in an older population in non-acute conditions.
Methods: A population-based study with a ten-year follow-up.

Departamento de Física y Química Teórica, Facultad de Química Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Ciudad Universitaria, Coyoacán Mexico City Mexico.
A series of animations, videos and 3D models that were developed, filmed or built to teach the symmetry properties of crystals are described. At first, these resources were designed for graduate students taking a basic crystallography course, coming from different careers, at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. However, the COVID-19 pandemic had the effect of accelerating the generation of didactic material.

- This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound elastography compared to fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in diagnosing thyroid nodules as benign or malignant.
- The research involved 360 patients with visible thyroid nodules and found that FNAC outperformed ultrasound elastography in terms of sensitivity (92.00%) and specificity (85.33%) for distinguishing benign nodules.
- Ultimately, while ultrasound elastography showed potential with an accuracy of 81.94%, FNAC maintains its status as the gold standard with an accuracy of 85.47%, particularly across different age groups.

Article Synopsis
- Cervical cancer, mainly caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), is a significant health issue in Kazakhstan, where a previous HPV vaccination pilot program was halted due to parental refusals, but plans to restart it are underway.
- A study conducted from December 2022 to May 2023 surveyed 1,189 healthcare professionals using a self-administered questionnaire to assess their knowledge, attitudes, and barriers regarding HPV and the HPV vaccine.
- Results showed an average knowledge score of 11 out of 18, with physicians scoring higher than nurses; 72.6% were willing to recommend the vaccine, and higher knowledge and awareness were linked to increased likelihood of recommendation, while barriers included public mistrust and fear of
