The first insight into Acanthocephalus (Palaeacanthocephala) satellitome: species-specific satellites as potential cytogenetic markers.

Acanthocephalan parasites are often overlooked in many areas of research, and satellitome and cytogenetic analyzes are no exception. The species of the genus Acanthocephalus are known for their very small chromosomes with ambiguous morphology, which makes karyotyping difficult. In this study, we performed the first satellitome analysis of three Acanthocephalus species to identify species- and chromosome-specific satellites that could serve as cytogenetic markers.

Conservative Treatment of Neonatal Brachial Plexus Palsy: A Narrative Review.

Neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) is a flaccid paralysis of the upper limbs that occurs in about 0.4 percent of live births. This condition can produce permanent disabilities; to date, there is no consensus on protocols to be applied for the rehabilitation of children with this condition.

Oncologic and pregnancy outcomes of fertility-sparing treatment with medroxyprogesterone acetate in women with premalignant and malignant endometrial lesions: A case series.

Introduction: Current trends of delaying childbearing and the increasing incidence of endometrial cancer in nulliparous woman necessitate research and development of fertility sparing treatments. Hormonal therapy with progestins offers an alternative to surgical treatment for a select group of patients of reproductive-age, who wish to preserve their reproductive potential.

Materials And Methods: The study evaluates the effectiveness of medroxyprogesterone acetate therapy in patients with early-stage endometrial cancer, atypical endometrial hyperplasia or atypical polypoid adenomyoma, seeking to preserve fertility.

Metal (M = Cr, Mo, W, Re) carbonyl complexes with porphyrin and carborane isocyanide ligands: light-induced oxidation and carbon oxide release for antitumor efficacy.

The tetrapyrrolic macrocycle as a scaffold for various chemical modifications provides broad opportunities for the preparation of complex multifunctional conjugates suitable for binary antitumor therapies. Typically, illumination with monochromatic light triggers the photochemical generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (photodynamic effect). However, more therapeutically valuable effects can be achieved upon photoactivation of tetrapyrrole derivatives.
