Enantioselective effect of trifloxystrobin in early-stage zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos: Cardiac abnormalities impacted by E,E-trifloxystrobin enantiomer.

Trifloxystrobin (TFS) is one of the extensively used strobilurin fungicides, which is composed of four enantiomers and its active form is E,E-TFS. In this study, we assess the acute toxicity of four enantiomers, E,E-, E,Z-, Z,E-, and Z,Z-TFS in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos. Among the four enantiomers, only E,E-TFS was found to be acutely toxic, with an estimated LC value of 0.

Dissipation and Removal of the Etofenprox Residue during Processing in Spring Onion.

The dissipation and removal of the etofenprox residue was studied in spring onion grown under greenhouse conditions. Samples of spring onion were collected at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 days after last application, and removal rates of etofenprox by washing and drying processes were measured. Samples were extracted with acetone and partitioned with dichloromethane.

Which phantom is better for assessing the image quality in full-field digital mammography?: American College of Radiology Accreditation phantom versus digital mammography accreditation phantom.

Objective: To compare between the American College of Radiology (ACR) accreditation phantom and digital mammography accreditation phantom in assessing the image quality in full-field digital mammography (FFDM).

Materials And Methods: In each week throughout the 42-week study, we obtained phantom images using both the ACR accreditation phantom and the digital mammography accreditation phantom, and a total of 42 pairs of images were included in this study. We assessed the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in each phantom image.

Reversible lansoprazole-induced interstitial lung disease showing improvement after drug cessation.

Lansoprazole is an acid proton-pump inhibiting drug that is used for the treatment of duodenal or gastric ulcers, H. pylori infection, gastroesophageal reflux disease or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Although lansoprazole is well known for its gastrointestinal and dermatologic adverse effects, mild pulmonary symptoms are also known to develop from taking this drug.

Hemodynamic depression during carotid angioplasty with stenting: potential risk factors determined by multidetector computed tomography angiography and related clinical factors.

Objective: To investigate potential risk factors for hemodynamic depression (HD) in elective carotid angioplasty with stenting (CAS) by using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiographic findings and clinical data.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted for 32 patients that underwent MDCT angiography before CAS in our hospital. We reviewed the MDCT angiographic findings to evaluate parameters including total plaque volume, composition and the composition ratio of plaque, degree of stenosis, and distance of the most stenotic portion from carotid bifurcation.

Medullary carcinoma of the breast after radiation therapy for Hodgkin's disease in a young woman: report of a case.

A 28-year-old woman who had received mantle-field radiation therapy for Hodgkin's disease (HD) almost 10 years earlier was referred to our hospital for investigation of a palpable mass in her left breast. Mammography, sonography, and fine-needle aspiration were done and the results showed medullary carcinoma of the breast, an uncommon type of breast cancer in young women. We review the literature on the secondary development of breast cancer after radiation therapy for HD.
