Intergeneric hybrid origin of the invasive tetraploid Cirsium vulgare.

The invasive tetraploid Cirsium vulgare hybridizes with both Cirsium and Lophiolepis. Its conflicted position in molecular phylogenies, and its peculiar combination of morphological, anatomical, and genomic features that are alternatively shared with representatives of Cirsium or Lophiolepis, strongly suggest its intergeneric hybrid origin. Genetic relationships of C.

Genome Size Doubling Arises From the Differential Repetitive DNA Dynamics in the Genus (Melanthiaceae).

Plant genomes are highly diverse in size and repetitive DNA composition. In the absence of polyploidy, the dynamics of repetitive elements, which make up the bulk of the genome in many species, are the main drivers underpinning changes in genome size and the overall evolution of the genomic landscape. The advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies has enabled investigation of genome evolutionary dynamics beyond model plants to provide exciting new insights in species across the biodiversity of life.

[Treatment of 14 cases of Castlemans disease: the experience of one centre and an overview of literature].

Castlemans disease is the term for reactive lymphocytary and plasmocytary proliferation which occurs in the unicentric (localized) form, usually without systemic symptoms, or in the generalized/multicentric form, typically with systemic symptoms (www.vzacne-diagnozy.cz).

[The patient complains of spinal pain or fatigue and weakness. How do I recognize whether their cause is spondylarthrosis, the patients age or multiple myeloma?].

Multiple myeloma has varied manifestations which resemble common patient complaints and that is why this disease is typically not diagnosed until it reaches an advanced stage. Spinal pains can be an expression of deformative and discogenous changes, but also a symptom of multiple myeloma. Pains in the long bones may result from the pain radiating from an arthrotic joint, but also from a large myelomatic osteolytic lesion which makes the bone prone to a spontaneous fracture.
