Irregularly regulated collecting markets: antiquities, fossils, and wildlife.

This paper examines the dynamics of 'irregularly regulated markets', specifically those dealing with what we term 'criminogenic collectables': antiquities, fossils, and wildlife. Through the lens of 'irregular regulation' we consider how inconsistencies and loopholes in legal frameworks contribute to criminal activities in these markets. We outline five ways that such markets can be considered irregular: socially, jurisdictionally, temporally, culturally and discursively.

Tissue-Welding Device: Considerable Advantages for Spleen Surgery Based on Histological and Cardiorespiratory Investigation.

During splenic surgery, it is important to control blood loss and the potential risk of cardiac arrhythmia. The best way to prevent complications from surgery is to use the appropriate surgical devices; however, there is no guideline for the use of specific surgical devices for spleen incision. Therefore, the aim of this research was to compare the interactions of various surgical devices with spleen tissue, their cardiorespiratory effects during incision, and subsequent spleen surgical wound healing.

The outcomes after transfers of embryos with chromosomal mosaicism: a single reproductive medicine center experience at iVF Riga clinic.

The aim of this study is to summarize the outcomes of transfers of mosaic embryos, which were classified according to guidelines and in strong collaboration of reproductologists, clinical geneticists and patients approved as suitable for transfer. Retrospective data were collected from 70 patients from a private IVF center to whom embryos with mosaic changes in chromosomal material were transferred from 2015 to 2019. Implantation outcomes and continuing pregnancies showed slight differences, when compared to fully normal embryos.

Case of Inherited Partial AZFa Deletion without Impact on Male Fertility.

Male factor infertility accounts for 40-50% of all infertility cases. Deletions of one or more AZF region parts in chromosome Y are one of the most common genetic causes of male infertility. Usually full or partial AZF deletions, including genes involved in spermatogenesis, are associated with spermatogenic failure.

Pathogenic Variants in Latvian Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Patients.

Familial adenomatous polyposis is one of the -associated polyposis conditions described as genetically predetermined colorectal polyposis syndrome with a variety of symptoms. The purpose of this study was to determine sequence variants of the gene in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) phenotype and positive or negative family history. Eight families with defined criteria of adenomatous polyposis underwent molecular genetic testing.
