What Hides in the Heights? The Case of the Iberian Endemism .

is a recently described species belonging to a complex genus of grasses. It inhabits stony soils at heights ranging from 1600 to 2200 m in Picos de Europa (Cantabrian Mountains, northern Spain). This species is morphologically very similar to , partially sharing its presumed distribution range.

Contribution of Advanced Glycation End Products to PCOS Key Elements: A Narrative Review.

In the last decade, data has suggested that dietary advanced glycation end products (AGEs) play an important role in both reproductive and metabolic dysfunctions associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). AGEs are highly reactive molecules that are formed by the non-enzymatic glycation process between reducing sugars and proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids. They can be formed endogenously under normal metabolic conditions or under abnormal situations such as diabetes, renal disease, and other inflammatory disorders.

Highly Cellular Leiomyoma Mixed With a Focus of Adenomyosis.

The purpose of this case presentation was to highlight the importance of an adequate evaluation of images when suspicious of atypical leiomyoma and the importance of performing an extemporaneous biopsy during surgery to ensure the lesion is a benign muscular cell tumor. Here, we present a case of a 34-year-old nulliparous woman who presented with a history of infertility and irregular menstrual cycles. A highly vascularized pelvic mass was visualized by Doppler ultrasound and a contrast MRI suggestive of uterine fibroid.

Surgical Management for Late Presentation of Interrupted Aortic Arch with Aortopulmonary Window.

We report a case of advanced age at presentation of interrupted aortic arch with aortopulmonary window. Although the association between these two defects is well established, their overall prevalence is extremely low. This case presents us with an excellent opportunity to discuss decision making regarding aortic arch repair techniques according to age at which primary surgical correction is intended.
