Mast cell tumors (MCT) are among the most common neoplasia in dogs, representing up to 21 % of skin tumors. However, etiology and risk factors for its development remain unclear. This study aimed to reduce this knowledge gap by comprehensively analyzing 905 MCT cases diagnosed in Portugal between 2019 and 2021, using descriptive and inferential analyses.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLow-flow vascular malformations (LFVMs) account for over 90% of all vascular malformations, with the highest prevalence in the head and neck region. Intralesional sclerotherapy is the treatment of choice for subcutaneous LFVMs, although there is no consensus on optimal agent selection or dosage. Mild sclerosing agents, such as bleomycin, are commonly used in sensitive anatomical areas, including the head and neck, due to their favorable safety profile, despite slightly lower efficacy.

The assessment of these novel indexes of RVMW has not yet been exten sively studied, namely in pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) population.
Objectives: to evaluate the relationship between RVMW and invasive indices of right heart catheterization (RHC) in a cohort of patients with group I and group IV PH and to compare with a control group without PH.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how different types of nonoccupational sedentary behavior (SB), especially television viewing, relate to hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus (DM) in middle-aged adults.
- A total of 3,370 participants were analyzed for associations between their self-reported sedentary time and health outcomes using logistic regression.
- Results showed that increased TV-SB was significantly linked to higher risks of both HTN and DM, suggesting that reducing TV time could be an effective strategy for lowering HTN risk.
Aims And Objectives: This discussion paper proposes four new nursing leadership roles to address planetary health challenges.
Background: Nurses are essential in reducing healthcare's greenhouse emissions. The Planetary Health Education Framework (PHEF) supports integrating planetary health concepts into sustainable healthcare practice.
