The Impact of Nutritional Condition and Compression Treatment on Venous Ulcer Recovery: A Systematic Review.

Venous ulcers are open wounds commonly associated with chronic venous insufficiency. Each patient's healing process is unique, and factors like nutrition and compression therapy can affect it. Compression therapy and optimal nutritional status can assist in improving venous blood circulation, decreasing swelling, and promoting wound healing.

Transpiration response of two bread wheat lines differing in drought resilience and their backcross parent under dry-down conditions.

Improving wheat productivity in drylands largely depends on how plants manage limited water resources. Using fraction of transpirable soil water threshold (FTSW) and drought stress response function, we characterized the water conservation traits of two wheat multiple synthetic derivative lines (MSD53 and MSD345) which both contain introgressed segments from but differ in drought resilience. The lines and their backcross parent, 'Norin 61', were subjected to dry-down conditions.

Catastrophic adult-onset Still's disease as a distinct life-threatening clinical subset: case-control study with dimension reduction analysis.

Objectives: Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic inflammatory disorder. Diagnosing AOSD can be challenging, as disease presentation and clinical course are highly heterogeneous. For unclear reasons, a few patients develop life-threatening complications.

Platelet features allow to differentiate immune thrombocytopenia from inherited thrombocytopenia.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired bleeding disorder, for which no specific diagnostic test exists. Inherited thrombocytopenia (IT) can mimic ITP and lead to unappropriated management with significant morbidity. Here, in small cohorts of these two disorders, we explored whether platelet sialylation and platelet activation could allow to discriminate the two conditions.

Toxicity assessment of organophosphorus in Ruditapes decussatus via physiological, chemical and biochemical determination: A case study with the compounds γ-oximo- and γ-amino-phosphonates and phosphine oxides.

Organophosphorus derivatives are widely used in human health care and have been detected in aquatic ecosystems. These compounds may pose significant risks to non-target exposed organisms and only limited studies are available on bioconcentration and the effects of organophosphorus derivatives on marine organisms. The aim of this work was to evaluate the possible toxic effects of two concentrations (20 and 40 μg/L) of γ-oximo- and γ-amino-phosphonates and phosphine oxides in mediterranean clams Ruditapes decussatus exposed for 14 days using different biomarkers and the changes of filtration and respiration rate.
