Splanchnic Vein Thrombosis: The State-of-the-Art on Anticoagulant Treatment.

Splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) is a rare type of venous thromboembolism occurring within the splanchnic venous system. Portal vein thrombosis is the most common presentation, while Budd-Chiari syndrome is the least common. Liver cirrhosis and abdominal solid cancer are the main local risk factors for SVT, whereas myeloproliferative neoplasms are the predominant systemic risk factors.

Effects of γ-Irradiation on Mating Behavior of Red Palm Weevil, (Olivier, 1790) (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae).

Red palm weevil (RPW) (Olivier 1790) is a highly invasive species originating from Southeast Asia and Melanesia. Over the past 30 years, this alien pest has spread extensively in the Middle East and the Mediterranean basin. Its endophagous larvae feed on various palm species, causing significant damage that leads to the death of palm trees.

A mutation-based radiomics signature predicts response to imatinib in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST).

Objectives: To develop a mutation-based radiomics signature to predict response to imatinib in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs).

Methods: Eighty-two patients with GIST were enrolled in this retrospective study, including 52 patients from one center that were used to develop the model, and 30 patients from a second center to validate it. Reference standard was the mutational status of tyrosine-protein kinase (KIT) and platelet-derived growth factor α (PDGFRA).

Effects of different (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) cold storage periods on and (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) rearing.

and are egg parasitoids that are considered potential candidates for the control of different pest species through inundative release. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of different cold-storage periods of eggs (host) on the rearing parameters of and . Host eggs were stored at 3 °C, and a factorial experiment involving two parasitoid species, nine host storage periods (1, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 days) and a control, and two host ages (1 and 2 days) was conducted, with 10 replications including 40- eggs each.
