Most studies on anesthesia focus on the nervous system of mammals due to their interest in medicine. The fact that any life form can be anaesthetised is often overlooked although anesthesia targets ion channel activities that exist in all living beings. This study examines the impact of lidocaine on rice ().

- Detecting autoantibodies is crucial for diagnosing autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), especially in children where their specificity can be lower; recent research points to polyreactive IgG (pIgG) as a promising marker.
- A study, using samples from multiple European centers, found that pIgG had enhanced specificity and accuracy for diagnosing pediatric AIH compared to traditional antibodies like ANA and anti-SMA.
- pIgG distinguished AIH from other liver diseases with an AUC of 0.900, showing it was positive in a significant portion of pediatric patients and independent of their treatment response.
In their natural environment, fungi are subjected to a wide variety of environmental stresses which they must cope with by constantly adapting the architecture of their growing network. In this work, our objective was to finely characterize the thallus development of the filamentous fungus Podospora anserina subjected to different constraints that are simple to implement in vitro and that can be considered as relevant environmental stresses, such as a nutrient-poor environment or non-optimal temperatures. At the Petri dish scale, the observations showed that the fungal thallus is differentially affected (thallus diameter, mycelium aspect) according to the stresses but these observations remain qualitative.

Methods: Single-centre, tertiary care retrospective study on 507 consecutive Italian patients with AIH.
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and limitations associated with a minimally invasive ultrasound-assisted cutting thread technique for tenotomy of the deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT) in horses.
Study Design: Ex vivo study.
Sample Population: Twenty cadaveric forelimbs.
