Revisiting the Latin vocabulary of Terminologia Histologica: I. Nouns.

Clin Anat

April 2024

Departamento de Ciencias Básicas, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de La Frontera, Temuco, Chile.

Almost 20% of the Latin nouns (193/993) in Terminologia Histologica (TH), the international standard nomenclature for human histology and cytology, display linguistic problems, particularly in the areas of orthography, gender, and declension. Some anatomists have opposed efforts to restore the quality of the Latin nomenclature as pedantry, preferring to create or modify Latin words so that they resemble words in English and other modern languages. A Latin microanatomical nomenclature is vulnerable to the criticism of anachronism, so the requirement for the use of authentic Latin, including derivation of new words from Greek and Latin words rather than from modern languages, if possible, may be even greater than it is for the anatomical nomenclature.

In recent years, many postgraduate medical institutions are transitioning to a competency based medical education (CBME). This paradigm shift offers many advantages but has also been criticized for its potentially reductionist approach of targeting competency as the end goal. In this context, coaching may be an interesting intervention as it has been employed with success in other professional settings to go beyond achieving competency with a focus on continuous development.

Nuclear targeting of therapeutics provides a strategy for enhancing efficacy of molecules active in the nucleus and minimizing off-target effects. 'Active' nuclear-directed transport and efficient translocations across nuclear pore complexes provide the most effective means of maximizing nuclear localization. Nuclear-targeting systems based on nuclear localization signal (NLS) motifs have progressed significantly since the beginning of the current millennium.

Article Synopsis
  • - Wetlands face severe threats from pollution, impacting biodiversity, and the effects of pesticides on freshwater reptiles, such as the European pond turtle, remain largely unexplored.
  • - A study conducted from 2018 to 2020 analyzed 29 pesticides in 408 blood samples from turtles in the Camargue wetland and found pesticide presence in 62.5% of the samples, with the herbicide bentazone notably reaching high concentrations.
  • - Pesticide levels in turtle blood were primarily influenced by the sampling site and time relative to pesticide application, while individual turtle traits like sex, age, and body condition had little effect; understanding these exposure levels is essential for future studies on their ecological impact.

Background: Implementing culturally sensitive psychometric measures of depression may be an effective strategy to improve acceptance, response rate, and reliability of psychological assessment among Indigenous populations. However, the psychometric properties of depression scales after cultural adaptation remain unclear.

Methods: We screened the Ovid Medline, PubMed, Embase, Global Health, PsycInfo, and CINAHL databases through three levels of search terms: Depression, Psychometrics, and Indigenous, following the PRISMA guidelines.
