Background: The zoonotic and highly infectious pathogen Francisella tularensis is the etiological agent of tularemia. Tularemia in humans is mainly caused by F. tularensis subspecies tularensis and holarctica, but Francisella species like F.

J Ophthalmic Inflamm Infect
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- Tocilizumab (TCZ) is a drug used for rheumatic diseases that has shown promise in treating refractory non-infectious uveitis (NIU), particularly in Birdshot NIU, and this study examined its long-term effects.
- Eight patients were monitored over an average of 33 months using various imaging techniques to assess retinal and choroidal inflammation, with significant improvements noted in retinal inflammation and central retinal thickness (CRT) after six months.
- While TCZ effectively reduced retinal vasculitis and improved CRT, it was less effective for choroidal inflammation, indicating a need for further research to optimize TCZ treatment in NIU patients.
2,6-Dipicolinoylbis(-dialkylthioureas), HL, readily react with uranyl salts under formation of monomeric or dimeric complexes of the compositions [UO(L)(solv)] (solv = donor solvents such as HO, MeOH or DMF) or [{UO(L)(µ-OMe)}] (). In such complexes, the uranyl ions are exclusively coordinated by the "hard" ,, or donor atom sets of the central ligand unit and the lateral sulfur donor atoms do not participate in the coordination. Different conformations have been found for the dimeric anions.

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis adhering to the PRISMA guidelines and focusing on studies of cryotherapy for liver malignancies published after 2000 were conducted. PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus were systematically searched for articles reporting incidences of adverse events associated with percutaneous cryoablation in patients with liver malignancies.
Distal versus proximal radial access in coronary angiography: a meta-analysis.
Clin Res Cardiol
September 2024
Background: Distal radial access (DRA) represents a promising alternative to conventional proximal radial access (PRA) for coronary angiography. Substantial advantages regarding safety and efficacy have been suggested for DRA, but the ideal access route remains controversial.
Aims: The aim of this study was to compare safety, efficacy and feasibility of DRA to PRA.
