Article Synopsis
- - Radon is transported within the Bossea karstic mountain aquifer through both advective and diffusive processes, with fluctuations correlating to hydrodynamics rather than external weather factors.
- - Delayed concentration peaks of radon in underground water occur after flooding, with a 45-hour delay in the upper canyon and 66 hours in collapse chambers due to varying water flow dynamics.
- - Different radon levels are detected in the main creek compared to secondary inflows; the main creek experiences increases during flooding, while secondary inflows see dilution from new infiltrating water, with no significant relationship found between radon emissions and seismic activity.
HLA-A*02:393 differs by a single nucleotide substitution from both A*02:26 (A524G) and from A*02:40:01 (T527A).

Radon air concentrations, normally high, increase more and more during the collector's floods. An explanation of this is a radon-water solubilisation process more effective in flood events, because of a greater rock-water contact surface.

This study investigated the effect of ABO incompatibility in recipients of haematopoietic progenitor cell transplants from related donors after reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analysed data from 19 multiple myeloma patients included in a prospective RIC allogeneic haematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation protocol, focusing on engraftment, transfusion requirement, Graft-versus-Host Disease, transplant-related mortality and survival.
Background: Autologous or allogenic platelet gel is a blood component that exploits the effects of the cytokines contained in platelet α granules to stimulate repair processes. The properties of platelet gel were first tested on chronic ulcers to accelerate healing and later in orthopaedic, dental, vascular and cardiothoracic surgery. In our centre, we have been using platelet gel for 5 years, first for surgical patients with difficult wounds, then for orthopaedic patients undergoing osteosynthesis surgery and patients with ulcers not responding to traditional therapies.
