Background: Due to the increasing prevalence of equine non-infectious respiratory disease, the air contamination in equine housing (Stables A-C) and training facilities (indoor riding arenas A - C) was investigated. The aim of the study was to monitor gaseous pollutants, bioaerosols, and dust concentrations at three different sites (stables and riding halls), where different floor materials were used in the riding halls.
Materials And Methods: Air quality was monitored in housing for horses and in riding halls in terms of dust concentration, the presence of gaseous chemical pollutants, and concentrations of biological aerosol.
Appendix neuroendocrine neoplasm (ANEN) treatment is based on tumor size and proliferation markers. Recently, the role of the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) from the clinical perspective has also been increasingly discussed. The FSHR is expressed in the endothelial cells of both intratumoral and peritumoral blood vessels, where it contributes to neoangiogenesis and blood vessel remodeling.

Material And Methods: The study was conducted using fattening pigs (crossbreds from multiple breeds) assigned to three groups - a control (C) and two experimental groups (A and B), with 240 pigs in each group (3 replicates × 80). The animals in group C received a standard complete diet, while groups A and B received diets with 1.
Introduction: Incidences of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) after treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are well described. Here, we report a case of secondary HL in a patient with CML treated with dasatinib as a third-line treatment.
Patient Information: A 64-year-old male was diagnosed with CML and initially treated with imatinib and then with nilotinib due to resistance.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground And Aims: The diagnosis of gastric premalignant conditions (GPCs) relies on endoscopy with mucosal sampling. We hypothesized that the endoscopist biopsy rate (EBR) might constitute a quality indicator for EGD, and we have analyzed its association with GPC detection and the rate of missed gastric cancers (GCs).
Methods: We analyzed EGD databases from 2 high-volume outpatient units.
Objective: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has a high curative resection rate for gastrointestinal mucosal lesions, but is not used widely in Europe because of a high complication rate and a long learning curve. This study analyzed the ESD learning curve at a single European treatment center.
Materials And Methods: ESD and hybrid-ESD (hESD) procedures were used to treat large colonic lesions that could not be resected in one piece by other endoscopic methods.
Aim: To investigate the indications, resection rate, and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for neoplastic lesions in the gastrointestinal tract at a European referral center.
Methods: We carried out a retrospective analysis of the ESD procedures performed in our center for mucosal neoplastic and submucosal lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. The duration of the procedure, en bloc and complete (R0) resection rates, and complication rates were evaluated.
Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a well-accepted method for removing superficial mucosal tumors; however, there is limited data on the use of this method for removing subepithelial tumors.
Objective: To investigate the efficacy, safety, and outcome of ESD for gastric subepithelial tumors and determine factors related to treatment success.
Design: Retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database.
Background: The ability to travel mentally through time sets humans apart from many other species, yet little is known about this core cognitive capacity. In particular, what shapes the passage of the mind's journey through time? Guided by the viewpoint that higher cognitive activity can have a sensory-motor grounding, we explored the possibility that mental time travel is influenced by apparent movement through space.
Methodology/principal Findings: Participants performed a mundane vigilance task, during which they were expected to daydream, while viewing a display that elicited an illusion of self-motion (i.
