Radioactive iodine ablation therapy reduces the risk of recurrent disease in pediatric differentiated thyroid carcinoma

BackgroundWhile radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy in older adults with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) reduces recurrence, data in pediatrics remain limited. We conducted a meta-analysis to quantify outcomes and recurrence risk with RAI versus thyroidectomy alone in the pediatric population. MethodsSystematic literature review identified 34 retrospective studies including 2913 DTC patients under age 22 years (published 2005–2023). Meta-analysis calculated pooled rates of disease persistence and recurrence. Relative risk ratios compared odds of recurrence with RAI versus no RAI. ResultsPatients had mean age 14.7 years (95 % CI, 14.2–15.2) and were 75.9 % female (95 % CI, 73.8–78.1 %). Majority (90.2 %) received RAI. Pooled persistence rate was 30.3 % (95 % CI, 21.7–39.5 %); higher with RAI (31.5 %; 95 % CI, 22.4–41.3 %) than no RAI (4.5 %; 95 % CI, 0.0–18.7 %) (OR 3.28; 95 % CI,1.82–5.91; p < 0.001). Recurrence rate was 8.97 % (95 % CI, 4.78–14.3 %). Those with RAI had 53.1 % lower recurrence risk versus no RAI (RR 0.47; 95 % CI, 0.27–0.82; p = 0.007). Median follow-up was 7.2 years (95 % CI, 5.8–8.5 years), with no association between follow-up duration and recurrence (r = −0.053; p = 0.80). ConclusionsRAI therapy as an adjunct to thyroidectomy is associated with a significantly lower risk of long-term recurrence in pediatric DTC. These findings advocate for the use of RAI in preventing recurrence among high-risk pediatric patients with DTC.

Ethnohistory as a research strategy for traditional architecture history: A systematic literature review

The history of Indonesian traditional architecture has not yet addressed the history of architecture itself; instead, it has only addressed national and regional universal history as a backdrop or ancestry. Furthermore, the sources mainly relied on Western paradigm-adhering written documents and literature rather than empirical sources from a specific cultural community, particularly oral traditions. As a result, the significance of historical context for the evolution of Indonesian architecture has diminished somewhat. Indeed, anthropology, archaeology, and history have long used ethnohistory as a research methodology. Furthermore, traditional architecture has been mentioned in these studies. How does one go about researching the history of traditional architecture using ethnohistory? The objectives of this research are to identify research trends on this topic as well as to discover novelty as a new direction for future studies. This study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) method to descriptively analyze a big dataset and examine the content of primary data selected from publications between 2013 and 2023. It indicates how very promising the research trend is for architecture science. Furthermore, this study develops three research focuses, approaches, implications and constraints in light of the data gathered and examined.

A developmental neurotoxicity adverse outcome pathway (DNT-AOP) with voltage gate sodium channel (VGSC) inhibition as a molecular initiating event (MiE).

The adverse outcome pathway (AOP) framework serves as a practical tool for organising scientific knowledge that can be used to infer cause-effect relationships between stressor events and toxicity outcomes in intact organisms. However, a major challenge in the broader application of the AOP concept within regulatory toxicology is the development of a robust AOPs that can withstand peer review and acceptance. This is mainly due to the considerable amount of work required to substantiate the modular units of a complete AOP, which can take years from inception to completion. The methodology used here consisted of an initial assessment of a single chemical hazard using the Integrated Approach to Testing and Assessment (IATA) framework. An evidence-based approach was then used to gather empirical evidence combining systematic literature review methods with expert knowledge to ensure the effectiveness of the AOP development methodology. The structured framework used assured transparency, objectivity and comprehensiveness, and included expert knowledge elicitation for the evaluation of key event relationships (KERs). This stepwise approach led to the development of an AOP that begins with binding of chemicals to Voltage Gate Sodium Channels (VGSC/Nav) during mammalian development leading to adverse consequences in neurodevelopment evidenced as deficits in cognitive functions. Disruption of the formation of precise neural circuits by alterations in VGSC kinetics during the perinatal stages of brain development may also underlie neurodevelopmental disorders. Gaps in our understanding include the specific critical developmental windows and the quantitative relationship of binding to VGSC and subsequent disruption and cognitive function. Despite the limited quantitative information at all KER levels, regulatory applications of this AOP for DNT assessment have been identified.

ABSTRACT Purpose To synthesize the evidence and generate a combined weighted measure on the frequency of ocular manifestations of mucous membrane pemphigoid (OMMP). Methods Systematic literature review and meta-analysis, searching PubMed, Embase, VHL, and Google Scholar. Articles reporting patients with mucous membrane pemphigoid and ocular involvement were included. At least, two reviewers independently and in parallel participated in all the following phases; preliminary screening, full-text review, risk of bias assessment by validated tools, and data extraction. Qualitative analysis and meta-analysis were conducted. This study was previously registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023451844). Results Thirty-five studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising 1,439 patients and 1,040 eyes summarized in qualitative analysis. Twenty-eight studies were included in the meta-analysis. Ages included ranged from 60.4 to 75 years. Women were reported with more frequency. The mean time for diagnosis was 55.1 months, usually with bilateral ocular disease in 90% (95% CI 78%; 96%). Trichiasis and entropion were the most frequent manifestations in up to 92%, followed by symblepharon and punctate keratitis. Ankyloblepharon, persistent epithelial defects, and visual impairment were less frequent complications. Direct immunofluorescence positivity in conjunctival biopsies was 54% (95% CI 43%; 64%). Extraocular involvement was highly frequent, being oral and skin involvement the most frequently reported. Conclusions Our systematic review and meta-analysis evidenced that patients around 60 years of age are the most affected population with a female preponderance, usually with bilateral ocular involvement. Trichiasis and entropion were the most frequent findings; although visual impairment and persistent epithelial defects were less reported, they should not be overlooked in suspected OMMP.

Mapping four decades of housing inequality research: Trends, insights, knowledge gaps, and research directions

Housing inequality is a pressing issue that affects the lives of millions of people worldwide. This study aims to determine trends, generate insights, and identify knowledge gaps in housing inequality research by systematically mapping and analysing the academic literature. As for the systematic literature review method, the PRISMA approach is employed to review literature published during the last four decades. The review is enriched with bibliometric analytics—e.g., research trends; influential publications, co-occurrence network of terms, geographical distribution—and content analysis techniques to provide future research directions. The analysis revealed four main research themes, comprising housing discrimination, housing market and urbanisation, the relationship of housing inequality with health and education, and housing inequalities among the young adult population. The majority of these studies centred their research on China. The findings in the following areas consolidate the understanding of housing inequality: (a) Housing inequality as a product of housing market dynamics; (b) Housing inequality as a condition affecting different segments of the population disparately; (c) Housing inequality as a socio-cultural concept; (d) Housing inequality as an outcome of public policy. This study advocates for multifaceted policy interventions, and the findings, which contribute to achieving relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), provide insights for urban and housing policymakers and urban planners in addressing housing inequality problems.

Literature Review: Potential of Chinese Ketepeng Leaves (Cassia alata L.) as an Antibacterial Agent

Infectious diseases are diseases caused by bacteria. Several bacterial infectious diseases include bacteria that cause skin infections such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Propionibacterium acnes and Streptococcus pyogene, nosocomial pneumonia infections of the urinary tract by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae that cause Healthcare-Acquired Infections (HAIs). The drugs usually used to treat bacterial infections are antibiotics. Along with the increase in cases of infection, there is also an increase in the use of antibiotics. Widespread or irrational use of antibiotics can cause resistance, so alternatives are needed to overcome them. One plant that has potential as an antibacterial agent is the leaves of Chinese Ketepeng (Cassia alata L.). Chinese ketepeng leaves contain phytochemical compounds, namely flavonoids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids and phenols. Therefore, this literature review aims to determine the potential of Chinese Ketepeng (Cassia alata L.) leaf extract as an antibacterial agent. The method used is the Systematic Literature Review method by collecting data through databases such as Publish or Perish, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The search method uses the keywords "Chinese Ketepeng Plant", "Skin infection", "Antibacterial", "Disc diffusion", "Well diffusion", "Staphylococcus aureus", "Staphylococcus epidermidis", "Klebsiella pneumonia", "Shigella dysentriae", ”Propionibacterium acnes”, “Streptococcus sobrinus”, and “Pseudomonas aerugenosa”. The results of this review article show that ke tepeng china leaf extract is proven to have potential as an antibacterial agent which is characterized by the presence of an inhibition zone formed. The phytochemical content in Chinese ketepeng leaves such as flavonoids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids and phenols are thought to be antimicrobial. The difference in the diameter of the inhibition zone formed is influenced by the concentration of the extract, the type of solvent and the type of test microorganisms used. The types of solvents used are ethanol and methanol which are extracted by sonication and maceration.
