Aim: Thyroid nodules, based on high-resolution ultrasonography (HRUS), are among the most common endocrine abnormalities that affect the general population because of their high estimated prevalence rates. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a safe, cost-effective modality to differentiate between benign and malignant thyroid nodules based on the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (BSRTC), thus avoiding unnecessary surgery. However, categories III and IV of BSRTC remain a controversial issue in clinical practice, encompassing a wide range of risks of malignancy.

Cation interdiffusion as a result of a chemical-potential gradient occurring at heterointerfaces is often regarded as an unfavorable side reaction and is typically suppressed through the use of a diffusion barrier layer. In this study, we propose a straightforward method for suppressing interdiffusion that involves the creation of nanometer-thick diffusion barrier layers by means of dopant segregation. Using the CeO/ZrO heterointerface in this study, we demonstrate that a Sc acceptor dopant tends to accumulate at the heterointerface during the sintering process, especially at the edge of the CeO grain boundary, thereby effectively suppressing Ce-Zr interdiffusion.

Background: Chemotherapy is a well-established therapeutic approach for several malignancies, including breast cancer (BCa). However, the clinical efficacy of this drug is limited by cardiotoxicity. Assessing multiple cardiac biomarkers can help identify patients at risk of adverse outcomes from chemotherapy.

Background: Adverse birth outcomes are a significant public health problem worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Adverse birth outcomes have significant immediate and long-term health consequences for infants and their families. Understanding the determinants of adverse birth outcomes is crucial to effective interventions.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the selective and progressive loss of motor neurons, leading to gradual paralysis and death within 2 to 5 years after diagnosis. The exact underlying pathogenic mechanism(s) remain elusive. This is particularly the case for sporadic ALS (sALS), representing 90 % of cases, as modelling a sporadic disease is extremely difficult.
