Article Synopsis
- Yellow grub disease, caused by the parasite Clinostomum spp., affects the muscles and organs of freshwater fish, particularly killifishes in the Neotropical region, which are already vulnerable due to their short lifespan.
- * The study investigates the inflammatory damage caused by this parasite in various organs of two killifish species, revealing severe reactions especially in the pancreas, ovaries, and testes.
- * The findings suggest that this parasitic infection could lead to low fertility or sterility in seasonal killifishes, greatly affecting their ability to reproduce before their habitats dry up.
Patients with nonresectable breast cancer liver metastasis (BCLM) face a dismal prognosis. Despite liver transplantation (LT) for metastatic liver tumors having recently shown good results, BCLM represents an absolute contraindication. This study aimed to investigate the potential for long-term survival after LT for BCLMs in a patient experiencing end-stage liver disease, following multiple oncologic treatments.

- This study investigates how the duration of progressive stapler closure affects the occurrence and severity of post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after distal pancreatectomy (DP).* -
- Out of 155 patients, those with a stapler compression of 10 minutes or longer had a significantly lower incidence of POPF (34-47.2%) compared to those with less than 10 minutes (67-80.7%).* -
- The findings suggest that compressing the pancreas for at least 10 minutes is beneficial, especially for patients with a thick pancreatic gland, reducing the risk of clinically relevant POPF.*
Superficial infections with Streptococcus pyogenes (Strep A), pharyngitis and impetigo can induce acute rheumatic fever, an autoimmune sequela manifesting mostly with arthritis and rheumatic carditis. Valvular heart damage can persist or advance following repeated episodes of acute rheumatic fever, causing rheumatic heart disease. Acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease disproportionately affect children and young adults in developing countries and disadvantaged communities in developed countries.
