Decibel Decisions: The Concept of Intracranial Aneurysm Surgery With a Decibel Meter on Two Surgical Cases.

The present cases were used to investigate the reliability of the intraoperative decibel meter as an objective method of clipping efficiency in cerebral aneurysm surgery and to assess the impact of this method on the surgical procedure itself. Different methodologies have been developed and applied to directly or indirectly evaluate the placement of a clip, for example, intraoperative digital subtraction angiography (DSA), intraoperative micro-Doppler ultrasonography, and, more recently, indocyanine green (ICG). We included two patients with a previously non-treated unruptured brain aneurysm.

Foamy Macrophages in a Case of Mononucleosis With Amoxicillin-Induced Rash, Hyperlipidemia, and Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis.

A 38-year-old man presented with fever, cough, and jaundice. Four days before, he had started taking amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. He subsequently developed a morbilliform rash, and, according to clinical features and blood analyses, a diagnosis of mononucleosis with Epstein-Barr virus-associated antibiotic-induced exanthema and secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis was made.

Differential biochemical-inflammatory patterns in the astrocyte-neuron axis of the hippocampus and frontal cortex in Wistar rats with metabolic syndrome induced by high fat or carbohydrate diets.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a public health problem and a risk of developing cardiometabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. The biochemical-inflammatory impairment in brain areas related to learning and memory has not been differentiated between MetS models. We aimed to compare the effect of the MetS generated by consuming high-fat (HFD) or -carbohydrate diets (HCD) on the hippocampus and frontal cortex, related to astrocyte-neuron metabolism and neuroinflammation origin.

Determination of the Physiological Age in Two Tephritid Fruit Fly Species Using Artificial Intelligence.

The Mexican fruit fly (Anastrepha ludens, Loew, Diptera: Tephritidae) and the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata, Wiedemann, Diptera: Tephritidae) are among the world's most damaging pests affecting fruits and vegetables. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), which consists in the mass-production, irradiation, and release of insects in affected areas is currently used for their control. The appropriate time for irradiation, one to two days before adult emergence, is determined through the color of the eyes, which varies according to the physiological age of pupae.
