Desmoid tumours, also known as aggressive fibromatosis, are rare tumours derived from mesenchymal stem cells, accounting for only 0.03 % of all tumours. While 85-90 % of cases are sporadic, desmoid tumours can occasionally be associated with Gardner syndrome (or Familial Adenomatous Polyposis), which is linked to variants in the tumour suppressor gene, APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) gene on chromosome 5.

Aim: To critically evaluate the evidence on the effectiveness of XR interventions on patient anxiety and pain and other associated outcomes.
We have developed a novel device for automatic sensing, luring, and imaging insects that use substrate-borne vibrational signals for identifying and locating mating partners. The device is capable of measuring the activity patterns of these insects in a local area. It is intended to be used for monitoring pest insects; the current version of the device focuses on the treehopper species (Walker, Hemiptera: Membracidae: Smiliinae) that may serve as a vector for Grapevine Red Blotch Disease.

- - Flaviviruses are a group of viruses that cause serious diseases in humans, including dengue and Zika, and rely on a protein called NS1 for replication and disease severity.
- - NS1 is secreted from infected cells and contributes to endothelial dysfunction, which affects blood vessel permeability and may facilitate the spread of the virus in the body.
- - Research demonstrates that NS1 aids in the virus's ability to cross endothelial barriers and boosts the infectivity of specific target cells, indicating its crucial role in virus dissemination and its impact on disease progression.
