Vent., an endemic plant from the Mascarene Islands, was investigated following its antiplasmodial potentialities highlighted during a previous screening. Three clerodane diterpene compounds were isolated and identified as being responsible for the antiplasmodial activity of the leaves of the plant: caseamembrin T (), corybulosin I (), and isocaseamembrin E (), which exhibited half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC) of 0.

This study aimed to evaluate preoperative percutaneous uterine needle biopsy (PUB) with microscopic examination (M-PUB) and array-comparative genomic hybridization (MCGH-PUB).
Methods: This was a prospective single-center cohort study including all consecutive patients who were candidates for hysterectomy because of suspected uterine leiomyosarcoma on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) who received PUB.
Article Synopsis
- Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a hair loss condition often treated with hair transplantation, where hair is taken from the non-androgen-dependent back of the head and moved to balding areas.
- A study reported on 10 patients (8 men, 2 women) who developed inflammatory complications post-hair transplant with conditions like lichen planopilaris, erosive pustulosis, and superficial folliculitis.
- The findings underline the rarity of these complications after hair transplants and the necessity of thorough preoperative scalp examinations to identify any underlying inflammatory issues.
