- Biomass burning, PM2.5 peaks, and trends in lung adenocarcinoma diagnoses: an ecological study in São Paulo State, Brazil 23/06/2026CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that biomass-burning-related PM2.5 peaks may be relevant to population-level patterns of lung cancer epidemiology.Saulo Brito Silva
- Prolonged Evaluation of COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness in Healthcare Workers at a Public Tertiary Hospital: A Retrospective Cohort Study 01/04/2026CONCLUSIONS: The vaccines provided limited long-term protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection and mild COVID-19. However, protection against severe disease and death remained substantial despite the circulation of multiple variants.Guilherme Silveira Castro
- Th17 cells require the DNA repair sensor xeroderma pigmentosum complementation Group C to control oxidative DNA damage in a murine model 01/04/2026T helper 17 cells play essential roles in mucosal immunity and autoimmunity, yet the mechanisms that protect these cells from oxidative DNA damage remain poorly defined. Here we show, in a murine model, that the nucleotide excision repair sensor Xeroderma Pigmentosum Complementation Group C preserves genomic stability and metabolic fitness during T helper 17 cell […]Jefferson Antônio Leite
- Prevalence of venous extension in malignant adrenal neoplasia: beyond primary tumors and identification of a novel imaging sign 28/02/2026CONCLUSION: Venous extension was less prevalent in metastatic adrenal lesions compared to ACCs. The edge sign may precede venous extension, especially in metastatic cases, indicating the nature of the lesion. These findings potentially may alter disease management, expediting the decision for surgery; however, prospective multicenter studies are needed to confirm their clinical impact.Lais P D M Melges
- Using Mendelian randomization to investigate etiologic heterogeneity across renal cell carcinoma subtypes 31/10/2025CONCLUSION: These results highlight the heterogeneous nature of RCC etiology and the importance of considering histologic subtypes in etiologic and genetic studies.Timothy D Winter
