Article Synopsis
- * After receiving emergency radiotherapy, she was unable to return for scheduled surgery due to a COVID-19 hospitalization and later returned with lung metastasis leading to a hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy.
- * Sadly, despite the surgery, she passed away four weeks later due to worsening lung metastases, highlighting the aggressive nature and poor prognosis of NECE, which calls for a clinical trial to create treatment guidelines.
The spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula (White, 1845), is an invasive species in the United States. This pest causes damage to vineyards and has the potential to negatively affect other crops and industries. Information describing the seasonal timing of life stages can improve its management.

In a large-scale field study with 45 plots at least 711 m2, we tested foliar applications of dinotefuran and 2 formulations of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin, each applied from the ground and separately by helicopter. Applications targeted early instar nymphs.

- - A 24-year-old woman experienced abdominal enlargement for 11 months, leading to concerns of malignancy with elevated CA-125 levels and imaging that showed a complex pelvic mass.
- - She underwent a laparotomy myomectomy, where no signs of cancer were found in the histopathological exam.
- - The case highlights the difficulty in preoperative diagnosis, as imaging couldn’t sufficiently visualize the ovaries and a fibroid, making it tough to distinguish between cystic degeneration of fibroids and ovarian masses.
Epidemiological link between HPV and SLE is evolving. The possibility of HPV infection-induced molecular mimicry and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was elucidated through detailed analyses. Conserved regions in the structural protein sequences of high-risk HPV types were inferred, and sequence homologies between viral and human peptides were identified to delineate proteins implicated in SLE.
