Vesalius and His Manikin: An Enduring Influence on Modern Anatomic Teaching.

Anatomic teaching has long informed surgical knowledge, experience, and skills. One tool for teaching that emerged during the Renaissance was the fugitive anatomic sheet, which used flap layers to reveal different levels of anatomy. In 1538, Vogtherr introduced the first fugitive sheets, which included illustrations of male and female figures with a torso paper flap that, when lifted, revealed the internal organs in a cartoonish style.

An update on the ocular manifestations of dengue.

Dengue is the most common arboviral disease. It is typically spread by the bite of an infected female or mosquitoes. Dengue is endemic in subtropical and tropical regions, but its geographic reach keeps expanding.

Factors Affecting Growth and Survival of in Onion Extracts and Onion Bulbs.

This study investigated the survival and growth of in onion extracts and bulbs. The inhibition or retardation of growth by extracts of red, white, and yellow onions was tested against the onion germplasm and exposure to different light spectra during curing. Separately, survival of Newport was tested on red, white, and yellow onion bulbs on the external and internal onion layers with a syringe and needle.

Polymeric Coatings with Electrolyzed Acidic Water: A Novel Approach to Extending Egg Shelf Life and Quality.

Electrolyzed acidic water (EAW) contains hypochlorous acid as its active compound, which is a potent antimicrobial. It was encapsulated in polymeric coatings and applied to the surface of eggs. The antimicrobial activity and the ability to extend the shelf life of eggs at ambient temperature for 45 days were evaluated, by physical, microbiological, and sensory analyses.

Lacustrine sedimentation patterns at the Northern Antarctic Peninsula and surroundings as a response to late Holocene and Modern Climate changes.

The Northern Antarctic Peninsula (NAP) and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) are likely to respond rapidly to climate changes by increasing the collapse of peripheral ice shelves and the number of days above 0 °C. These facts make this region a representative hotspot of the global sea level rise and the location of one of the global climate tipping points (thresholds in the Earth system whose changes may become irreversible, if exceeded). Understanding the climate evolution of the NAP, based on past evidences, may help infer its future scenario.
