Article Synopsis
- Platelet count is essential for clinical decisions, but the impedance technique (PLT-I) may overestimate counts in cases of microcytosis, prompting a comparison with the optical technique (PLT-O).
- A study analyzed blood samples with microcytosis (MCV<80 fL) and found a strong correlation between PLT-I and PLT-O for platelet values below 150 x 10^9/L, though a bias of 16.53 x 10^9/L was noted.
- The research suggests that while impedance can be used routinely, the optical technique should be used for samples with MCV<72.9 fL or when schizocytes are present to ensure accurate hemogram validation.
The phenolic composition of Syrah and Chardonnay grape pomaces was studied to assess their antioxidant and prooxidant properties. Polyphenols were extracted by a "green" hydroalcoholic solvent (ethanol/water 1:1 /), and a detailed chemical and electrochemical characterization of the phenolic compounds was performed. The antioxidant and prooxidant capacity of the pomace was first studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and other reference analytical assays, then with biological tests on B16F10 metastatic melanoma cancer cells.

One hundred fifteen isolates (113 Salmonella serovar Enteritidis and two Salmonella serovar Typhimurium isolates) of 430 (26.7%) Salmonella isolates exhibited nalidixic acid resistance.

In case of failure of medical measures, bilateral ligation of hypogastric arteries (BLHA) represents an interesting alternative to the hemostatic hysterectomy to preserve patients fertility.
Objective: Report our BLHA experience in the post-partum hemorrhage management.
Objective: To report features of retinal fluorescein (FA) and indocyanine green (ICGA) angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) at successive stages of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease.
Methods: FA and ICGA were systematically performed in cases of VKH disease, at admission, 1 month later, and at the end of the follow-up. In addition, the most recent patients underwent OCT.
