Objectives: Resective surgery is a potential therapeutic option for select patients with intractable focal epilepsy. However, the presence of ictal onset zones within or surrounding highly functional brain areas presents a surgical challenge, leading to poor seizure and functional outcomes. This report describes our experiences with awake mapping-tailored resection of epileptogenic areas involving eloquent cortices and evaluates their feasibility, tolerance, limitations, and significance.

Management of Dermanyssus gallinae, a cosmopolitan hematophagous mite responsible for damage in layer poultry farming, is hampered by a lack of knowledge of its spatio-temporal population dynamics. Previous studies have shown that the circulation of this pest between farms is of strictly anthropogenic origin, that a mitochondrial haplogroup has been expanding on European farms since the beginning of the 21 century and that its local population growth may be particularly rapid. To refine our understanding of how D.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is one of the most devastating myopathies, where severe inflammation exacerbates disease progression. Previously, we demonstrated that adiponectin (ApN), a hormone with powerful pleiotropic effects, can efficiently improve the dystrophic phenotype. However, its practical therapeutic application is limited.
