- * Limited research has focused on the evolution of toxins outside a few species, and recent technological advancements in genomics and venomics are enhancing our understanding of these processes and the role of venom in various life stages.
- * The study of venoms not only aids in identifying and understanding toxin functions but also has significant implications for human applications in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and diagnostics.
In patients with liver cirrhosis the contribution of inherited and acquired prothrombotic disorders in the development of non-malignant portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is inconclusive. The purpose of this retrospective study was to examine the prevalence of thrombophilia in this setting at our center from January 2012 to November 2019. Tests included gene mutational analysis for Factor V Leiden, prothrombin G20210A, (V617F), Calreticulin (), in addition to activated protein C resistance, antithrombin III, protein C and S levels, and antiphospholipid antibodies.

- The study investigated the safety and effectiveness of a new rotavirus vaccine that does not contain porcine circovirus (PCV-free HRV) compared to the regular rotavirus vaccine (HRV).
- It involved 1612 healthy infants aged 6-12 weeks, who received either the PCV-free HRV or HRV, focusing on their immune response and potential side effects.
- Results showed that both vaccines were similar in their ability to stimulate immunity and had comparable safety profiles, confirming that PCV-free HRV is a viable option.
