In this paper the current regulations on cadaveric preservation practices required for the transfer of corpses in the different Autonomous Communities -Reglamentos de Policía Sanitaria Mortuoria- and national legislation are compared. The criteria taken into account have been: a) which sanitary practices are included in the regulations, b) which ones can be carried out in corpses posing a health risk, c) when they are compulsory to be carried out, d) when they can be carried out after death, and e) what professionals can carry them out and/or take responsibility for them. At the time of finishing the paper, a new mortuary regulation is being passed in Andalusia, as well as a decree from the Ministry of Health on technical and sanitary requirements concerning international transfer of corpses and human remains.

This review focuses on the latest advancements in using biomarkers to diagnose, predict outcomes, and guide the treatment of different types of thyroid cancer, such as anaplastic, papillary, medullary, and follicular thyroid carcinoma. We highlight the key role of both traditional and new biomarkers in improving the treatment of these cancers. For anaplastic thyroid cancer, biomarkers are crucial for detecting distant metastases and making treatment decisions.

Interactions between parasites and hosts are not fully understood, though the dynamic pattern of infection and reinfection in humans varies with different demographic variables and behavioral changes. A community-based non-equivalent control group post-test-only design, an aspect of quasi-experimental design (QED), was carried out between March 2019 and February 2020. For the extraction of data from respondents, structural questionnaires were filled.

Urban stormwater and rainwater in water-stressed cities serve as critical vectors for the transport and dispersion of pollutants, including very mobile compounds These pollutants, which can be influenced by factors such as land use, rainfall intensity, and urban infrastructure, pose significant risks to both human and environmental health. Although several priority pollutants have traditionally been detected in urban stormwater, little is known about the presence of very mobile compounds that may threaten urban drinking water supplies and pose environmental risks to aquatic species. In this study, 131 urban rain and stormwater samples were collected from three districts of Barcelona (Spain) and analysed for 26 very mobile pollutants that are often overlooked in conventional monitoring efforts.

Background: Adherence to the proper use of protective personal equipment (PPE) in health care facilities including public hospitals is challenging among sanitation workers(SWs) across the world in general and in developing countries in particular. Despite the emphasis inline up on various policies and guidelines for PPE use implementation, inconsistent use of PPE, disobedience to PPE regulations, negligence, ignorance, discomfort, and lacking infection prevention and control (IPC) practice have been identified as main associated factors. All these and other factors contributing for the non-compliance of PPE practice among SWs within the hospitals in nations with limited resources such as Ethiopia, as well as study regions.
