The aim of this report is to describe the occurrence of T-cell-rich oral large B-cell lymphoma with marked local infiltration in a 25-year-old Crioula mare.

Studies have highlighted melanoma immunogenicity, and the prognostic importance of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and mechanisms of tumor immune evasion, such as hyperexpression of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PDL-1). High endothelial venules (HEV) are specialized blood vessels that can facilitate the lymphocytes migration to the tumor. Here we evaluate the association of HEV density and PDL-1 expression in primary cutaneous melanomas with the presence and degree of TILs and with other clinicopathological variables (age, sex, tumor location, melanoma histological type, Breslow thickness, ulceration, regression signs, mitotic index).

Article Synopsis
  • Living zebrafish exhibit defensive behaviors when exposed to scents released by dead zebrafish, indicating they can detect danger from chemical cues.
  • The study confirms that these scents trigger an increase in cortisol levels in live zebrafish, suggesting a stress response similar to that observed in other species.
  • Both chemical cues from decaying flesh and alarm substances from damaged epidermal cells play a role in eliciting these stress and defensive responses, highlighting their importance for survival.

Due to the proximity of crop and fish culture areas, some agrichemicals that could be harmful for fish could enter into fishponds by different ways, such as by leaching through rain. Rhamdia quelen (Teleostei) were exposed to sublethal concentrations of methyl parathion (MP), a glyphosate based herbicide (Gly), and tebuconazole (Teb). The liver of R.
