Lipschütz Ulcer: A Rare Etiology Among Infants.

An 11-month-old female patient presented to the pediatric emergency room, reporting a high fever and excessive crying. She began taking amoxicillin and clavulanic acid for acute otitis media five days prior. There was no record of trauma, suspected sexual abuse, or other medications involved.

Fast neutron generation with few-cycle, relativistic laser pulses at 1 Hz repetition rate.

Laser-driven deuterons generate neutrons with a mean energy of 2.5 MeV, through the H(d,n) fusion reaction in a deuterated polyethylene (dPE) tablet. The deuterium ions are accelerated by 12 fs, 21 mJ laser pulses interacting with a 0.

Production of carbon-11 for PET preclinical imaging using a high-repetition rate laser-driven proton source.

Most advanced medical imaging techniques, such as positron-emission tomography (PET), require tracers that are produced in conventional particle accelerators. This paper focuses on the evaluation of a potential alternative technology based on laser-driven ion acceleration for the production of radioisotopes for PET imaging. We report for the first time the use of a high-repetition rate, ultra-intense laser system for the production of carbon-11 in multi-shot operation.

Soil filtration-sedimentation improves shelled protist recovery in eukaryotic eDNA surveys.

A large part of the soil protist diversity is missed in metabarcoding studies based on 0.25 g of soil environmental DNA (eDNA) and universal primers due to ca. 80% co-amplification of non-target plants, animals and fungi.

Spatially explicit assessment of genetic variation to inform conservation effort for an endangered Mediterranean conifer, .

Preserving the genetic diversity of forest species is critical for maintaining their adaptive potential and allowing for generation turnover in forest ecosystems. Considering an uncertain future, it is necessary to establish reliable genetic conservation strategies to optimize the genetic variation preserved within populations in a spatially explicit context to assist decision-makers. Hence, we aimed to incorporate genetic information into spatially designed conservation actions.
