Case report: Rapid-onset parkinsonism after a hornet sting.

Neurological manifestations with basal ganglia involvement following stings are rare and clinically ill-defined conditions. We present a patient with acute parkinsonism non-responsive to levodopa, who developed striatal lesions after a hornet sting. We report his response to immunomodulatory treatment and subsequent clinical and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) follow-up.

Alteration of Collagen Content and Macrophage Distribution in White Adipose Tissue under the Influence of Maternal and Postnatal Diet in Male Rat Offspring.

The extracellular matrix is important for adipose tissue growth, and numerous interactions between adipocytes and extracellular matrix components occur during adipose tissue development. The main objective of this study was to investigate the interaction and influence of maternal and postnatal diet on adipose tissue remodeling in Sprague Dawley offspring. 10 Sprague Dawley females were randomly divided into two groups at nine weeks of age and fed a standard laboratory diet or high-fat diet for six weeks.

Influence of Maternal Diet and Intergenerational Change in Diet Type on Ovarian and Adipose Tissue Morphology in Female Rat Offspring.

A high-fat diet causes inflammation in the organism and many metabolic disorders. Adipose tissue secretes adipokines that affect the function of many organs. The health status of the mother before and during pregnancy affects the health of the offspring.

Early Childhood Fat Tissue Changes-Adipocyte Morphometry, Collagen Deposition, and Expression of CD163 Cells in Subcutaneous and Visceral Adipose Tissue of Male Children.

Childhood obesity is a complex health problem, and not many studies have been done on adipose tissue remodeling in early childhood. The aim of this study was to examine extracellular matrix remodeling in the adipose tissue of healthy male children depending on their weight status. Subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue was obtained from 45 otherwise healthy male children who underwent elective surgery for hernia repairs or orchidopexy.
