    Abstract Autoimmune diseases (ADs) are one of the groups of chronic illnesses that impose a significant burden of disease and health costs worldwide. Age is a crucial risk factor for the onset of ADs. Theoretically, it is inferred that with organic and immune system aging, the loss of immune tolerance and specificity of immune activity becomes more intense, the probability of autoimmunity is increasing. However, there is a group of individuals whose prevalence of ADs is very low or non-existent, despite the biological aging. This paradox in autoimmunity raises questions. Centenarians, individuals who are over 100 years old, are possibly the most successful model of biological aging in humans. Most of these individuals exhibit a favorable health phenotype. To date, primary data evidence and potential hypotheses explaining this phenomenon are lacking globally, even though this paradox could provide valuable, original, and relevant information regarding the understanding of risk or protective factors, biological drivers, and biomarkers related to autoimmunity. Herein we discuss some hypothesis that may explain the absence of ADs in centenarians, including inflammaging, immunosenescence and immune resilience, immune system hyperstimulation, proteodynamics, and genetics.

    Abstract Background: Centenarians are considered the most successful human biological aging model. However, the characteristics and patterns of research among centenarians have not been described or analyzed. Thus, this study aimed to disclose the historical landscape of global research on centenarians.
    Methods: This bibliometric study investigated historical evidence on centenarian research published in the Scopus database. The bibliometrix package in R was used to perform visual and quantitative analyses of research metrics, trends, and patterns.
    Results: Of the 2061 documents included between 1887 and 2023, 84.2% (n = 1736) were published as articles with primary data. We identified international collaboration and annual growth rates of 21.4% and 3.15%, respectively. The United States published the highest number of papers on centenarians (n = 786), whereas the publications from Italy had the highest impact (h-index = 90). Based on the frequency of keywords, mortality, genetics, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and immunosenescence are a few of the most studied topics among centenarians, with emerging research related to mitochondrial DNA and comparison of results between nonagenarians and centenarians. Italy, the United States, and China lead the global research collaboration network, collaborating most frequently with Japan and European countries.
    Conclusions: Global research on centenarians has grown over the last 20 years, primarily led by Italy, the United States, and China. Latin American and African countries have conducted little or no research on centenarians. The most widely studied topics include mortality, cognition, immunosenescence, and genetics.

    Abstract Introduction and importance: The papyraceous fetus is the product of the intrauterine fetal death of a twin in early pregnancy, with retention of the fetus for a minimum of 10 weeks, resulting in mechanical compression of the small fetus. It is a finding that can be found early by ultrasound to avoid increased obstetric risk, but in low- to middle-income countries it is not always available.
    Case presentation: We present the case of a 22-year-old multipara patient was remitted to the emergency department due to a one-hour history of premature rupture of the membranes. Only one control ultrasound was performed at 25 weeks of pregnancy. Cesarean section was performed and two products were found, one of them a papyraceous fetus.
    Clinical discussion: Almost 50% of women in low- and middle-income countries don't receive adequate antenatal care. It has been estimated that up to half of twins and almost all triplets are born premature and have a higher risk of dying compared to those born at term; specifically, this risk is much higher if the pregnancy is accompanied by rare pathological conditions.
    Conclusion: The papyraceous fetus is a rare condition that represents a risk to the health of the mother and other babies, in case of multiple pregnancy; but it can be diagnosed early through imaging studies. Socio-cultural, socio-economic and direct difficulties of the health system may be the cause of the delay in the diagnosis of this pathological entity, making it an unexpected finding during delivery or intraoperatively.

    Abstract Background: There is very limited evidence on biomarkers for evaluating the clinical behavior and therapeutic response in rectal cancer (RC) with positive expression of cancer stem cells (CSCs).
    Methods: An exploratory prospective study was conducted, which included fresh samples of tumor tissue from 109 patients diagnosed with primary RC. Sociodemographic, pathological and clinical characteristics were collected from medical records and survey. The OCT4 protein was isolated using the Western Blot technique. It was calculated the ΔCEA, ΔOCT4, and ΔOCT4/GUSB values by assessing the changes before and after chemotherapy, aiming to evaluate the therapeutic response.
    Results: Patients had an average age of 69.9 years, with 55% (n=60) being male. Approximately 63.3% of the tumors were undifferentiated, and the most frequent staging classification was pathological stage III (n=64; 58.7%). Initial positive expression was observed in 77.1% of the patients (n=84), and the median ΔCEA was -1.03 (-3.82 - 0.84) ng/ml, with elevated levels (< -0.94 ng/ml) found in 51.4% of the subjects (n=56). Being OCT4 positive and having an elevated ΔCEA value were significantly associated with undifferentiated tumor phenotype (p=0.002), advanced tumor progression stage (p <0.001), and negative values of ΔOCT4 (p <0.001) (suggestive of poor therapeutic response) compared to those without this status.
    Conclusion: This study identified a significant and directly proportional association among the values of ΔCEA, ΔOCT4, and ΔOCT4/GUSB. These findings suggest that ΔCEA holds potential as a clinical biomarker for determining the undifferentiated tumor phenotype, advanced clinical stage, and poor therapeutic response in RC with CSCs positive expression.
