Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is recognized as a promiscuous legume in its symbiotic relationships with rhizobia, capable of forming associations with a wide range of bacterial species. Our study focused on assessing the diversity of bacterial strains present in cowpea nodules when inoculated with soils from six indigenous lands of Mato Grosso do Sul state, Central-Western Brazil, comprising the Cerrado and the Pantanal biomes, which are known for their rich diversity. The DNA profiles (BOX-PCR) of 89 strains indicated great genetic diversity, with 20 groups and 23 strains occupying single positions, and all strains grouped at a final similarity level of only 25%.

Background: Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) is an advanced form of Doppler flow imaging which has advantages in tiny vessels and low-speed flow. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of combining greyscale ultrasound (US) with SMI in differentiating between benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
Methods: A search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science for relevant studies published till 25 October 2023 that investigated the combined use of greyscale US and SMI to differentiate between benign and malignant thyroid nodules.

A female adolescent with no relevant past history was admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Department with two episodes of seizures without trauma, fever, or other symptoms. Head-MRI revealed bilateral subependymal nodular irregularities lining the lateral ventricles, with similar signal evolution to grey matter, confirming the diagnosis of periventricular nodular heterotopias (PVNH). Genetic testing revealed a Filamin A ( variant; family studies were negative.

Thyroid nodules are a very common entity. The overall prevalence in the populace is estimated to be around 65-68%, among which a small portion (less than 5%) is malignant (cancerous). Therefore, it is important to discriminate benign thyroid nodules from malignant thyroid nodules.
