Genetic, phytochemical and morphological identification and genetic diversity of selected Moringa species.

Moringa is the sole genus in the family Moringaceae used for medicinal and nutrient purposes. Morphological features, phytochemical attributes, and molecular characterization were used for the genetic association and classification among Moringa oleifera, M. peregrina, and M.

Taste triggers a homeostatic temperature control in hungry flies.

Hungry animals consistently show a desire to obtain food. Even a brief sensory detection of food can trigger bursts of physiological and behavioral changes. However, the underlying mechanisms by which the sensation of food triggers the acute behavioral response remain elusive.

Disseminated histiocytic sarcoma in a degu (Octodon degus).

A 7-year-and-8-month-old, male degu (Octodon degus) with anorexia, depression, and labored breathing was found to have a thoracic effusion and enlargement of the right testis on radiographic examination. Despite treatment, the animal died. At necropsy, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, and multifocal nodules on the intestinal serosa and mesentery were observed.

[A Case of CA19-9-Producing Gastric Cancer with Recurrence of Lymph Node Metastasis That Achieved Clinical CR in Fourth-Line CapeOX Therapy].

A 74-year-old man underwent a distal gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer. After surgical treatment, lymph node metastasis was observed during postoperative adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy. Weekly PTX plus RAM as second-line therapy and nivolumab as third-line therapy was administered, but lymph node enlarged and CA19-9 remained high.

Neurotoxic stimulation alters prosaposin levels in the salivary systems of rats.

Prosaposin (PSAP), a potent neurotrophic factor, is found in neuronal and non-neuronal tissues and various biological fluids. Neuropathological conditions often alter PSAP production in neural tissues. However, little is known about its alterations in non-neural tissues, particularly in the salivary glands, which are natural reservoirs of various neurotrophic factors.
