Background: Pituitary adenomas (PA) are the second most common tumor in the central nervous system and have low counts of mutated genes. Splicing occurs in 95% of the coding RNA. There is scarce information about the spliceosome and mRNA-isoforms in PA, and therefore we carried out proteomic and transcriptomic analysis to identify spliceosome components and mRNA isoforms in PA.
Methods: Proteomic profile analysis was carried out by nano-HPLC and mass spectrometry with a quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The mRNA isoforms and transcriptomic profiles were carried out by microarray technology. With proteins and mRNA information we carried out Gene Ontology and exon level analysis to identify splicing-related events.
Results: Approximately 2000 proteins were identified in pituitary tumors. Spliceosome proteins such as , and among others were found in PA. These results were validated at mRNA level, which showed up-regulation of spliceosome genes in PA. Spliceosome-related genes segregate and categorize PA tumor subtypes. The PA showed alterations in and mRNA isoforms which could be tumor specific.
Conclusions: Spliceosome components are significant constituents of the PA molecular machinery and could be used as molecular markers and therapeutic targets. Splicing-related genes and mRNA-isoforms profiles characterize tumor subtypes.

Unlabelled: Forming wound canal is one of the main signs of gunshot wound. Its features are related to the following differential diagnostic signs: presence of gunshot wound, its intravitality, prescription, direction of projectile (bullet) movement, power of used weapon, etc.
Objective: To study the mechanisms of wound canal formation in gunshot injury, the pattern of damage to the biological tissues of its walls (mainly, blood vessels), the features of hemorrhages forming around it.
Unlabelled: Crimes against the sexual integrity of the individual represent one of the most serious forms of violence.
Objective: To perform a retrospective epidemiological analysis with the systematization of analytical data on the performed forensic medical examinations (FMEs) of survivors of sexual abuse in order to increase the effectiveness of the system of preventive measures against such crimes.
Material And Methods: The data from the industry statistical report №42 were analyzed.

Background: As information and communication technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) become deeply integrated into daily life, the focus on users' digital well-being has grown across academic and industrial fields. However, fragmented perspectives and approaches to digital well-being in AI-powered systems hinder a holistic understanding, leaving researchers and practitioners struggling to design truly human-centered AI systems.
Objective: This paper aims to address the fragmentation by synthesizing diverse perspectives and approaches to digital well-being through a systematic literature review.

Background: The spread of misinformation on social media poses significant risks to public health and individual decision-making. Despite growing recognition of these threats, instruments that assess resilience to misinformation on social media, particularly among families who are central to making decisions on behalf of children, remain scarce.
Objective: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a novel instrument that measures resilience to misinformation in the context of social media among parents of school-age children.

Background: Breast cancer treatment, particularly during the perioperative period, is often accompanied by significant psychological distress, including anxiety and uncertainty. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions have emerged as promising tools to provide timely psychosocial support through convenient, flexible, and personalized platforms. While research has explored the use of mHealth in breast cancer prevention, care management, and survivorship, few studies have examined patients' experiences with mobile interventions during the perioperative phase of breast cancer treatment.
