RESUMEN
In this article, we present CuentosIE (TalesEI: chatbot of tales with a message to develop Emotional Intelligence), an educational chatbot on emotions that also provides teachers and psychologists with a tool to monitor their students/patients through indicators and data compiled by CuentosIE. The use of "tales with a message" is justified by their simplicity and easy understanding, thanks to their moral or associated metaphors. The main contributions of CuentosIE are the selection, collection, and classification of a set of highly specialized tales, as well as the provision of tools (searching, reading comprehension, chatting, recommending, and classifying) that are useful for both educating users about emotions and monitoring their emotional development. The preliminary evaluation of the tool has obtained encouraging results, which provides an affirmative answer to the question posed in the title of the article.
RESUMEN
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are known for their heterogeneous morphology, characterized by a variety of cell shapes and different growth patterns. They can also arise in various anatomical locations, most commonly in extremities and deep soft tissues. Despite this diversity in morphology and location, all SFTs share a common molecular signature involving the NAB2::STAT6 gene fusion. Due to their unpredictable clinical behavior, establishing prognostic factors is crucial. This study aims to evaluate an orbital risk stratification system (RSS) proposed by Huang et al. for use in extraorbital SFTs using a database of 97 cases. The Huang model takes into consideration tumor size, mitotic figures, Ki-67 index, and dominant constituent cell (DCC) as key variables. Survival analysis confirmed the model's predictive value, with higher-risk scores being associated with poorer outcomes. However, in contrast to the orbital SFTs studied by Huang et al., our study did not find a correlation between tumor size and recurrence in extraorbital cases. While the Huang model performs slightly better than other RSS, it falls short on achieving statistical significance in distinguishing recurrence risk groups in extraorbital locations. In conclusion, this study validates the Huang RSS for use in extraorbital SFTs and underscores the importance of considering DCC, mitotic count, and Ki-67 together. However, we found that including tumor size in this model did not improve prognostic significance in extraorbital SFTs. Despite the benefits of this additional RSS, vigilant monitoring remains essential, even in cases classified as low-risk due to the inherent unpredictability of SFT clinical outcomes.

La infección persistente por ciertos tipos de alto riesgo oncogénico de virus papiloma humano (VPHAR) es el principal factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de cáncer de cuello uterino y sus lesiones precursoras. Los VPHAR inducen alteraciones moleculares durante todo el proceso de carcinogénesis cervical, que provocan la acumulación de errores genéticos, con la consecuente inestabilidad genética y transformación maligna. Estas alteraciones son producidas por la acción directa de las oncoproteínas virales E6 y E7 sobre las principales proteínas celulares supresoras de tumor, p53 y pRb, respectivamente, y pueden ser monitoreadas durante el surgimiento de la lesión neoplásica, mediante el uso de biomarcadores. En este artículo se revisan las últimas tendencias sobre el uso del estudio inmunocitoquímico, como una prueba complementaria a la citología y a la detección y tipificación de VPHAR en la evaluación de la expresión de biomarcadores como la proteína inhibidora de la proliferación celular p16INK4a, marcador único o combinada con otros biomarcadores, que puedan contribuir eficazmente en la detección de las pacientes con mayor riesgo a desarrollar neoplasia del cuello uterino asociada a la infección por VPHAR, durante la pesquisa de cáncer de cuello uterino de rutina y en el manejo clínico adecuado y oportuno.
Persistent infection with certain types of high oncogenic risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is the main risk factor for developing cervical cancer and its precursor lesions. HR-HPV induces molecular changes during cervical carcinogenesis, causing the accumulation of genetic anomalies, with subsequent genetic instability and malignant transformation. These alterations are produced by the direct action of the E6 and E7 viral oncoproteins on principal tumor cell suppressor proteins, p53 and pRb, respectively, and can be monitored during growth of the neoplastic lesion using biomarkers. In this paper we review the latest trends on the use of immunocytochemistry as a complementary test to cytology and HR-HPV detection and typing in evaluating expression of biomarkers such as the p16INK4a cell proliferation inhibitor protein, as a single marker or combined with other biomarkers, which can contribute effectively to the detection of patients with increased risk of developing cervical neoplasia associated with HR-HPV infection during routine screening for cervical cancer and in appropriate clinical management.
