A fatal case of peritonitis due to colonic localization of acute myeloid leukemia.

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is an extramedullary localization of immature granulocyte cells that can occur in association with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Gastrointestinal involvement is relatively common in MS, but exclusive colonic localization is a rare occurrence. Here, we report on a 53-year-old male patient affected by AML developing a severe abdominal pain caused by intestinal perforation requiring surgical intervention.

Evaluation of glomerular filtration rate estimation through plasma clearance of iohexol in seagulls (Larus michahellis).

Background: Current endogenous indicators utilised in avian medicine are not sensitive enough to detect renal disease in its early stages. Alternative markers ought to be examined as a result. The aim is to investigate the accuracy of limited-sampling models for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in adult seagulls using plasma clearance of iohexol (IOX).

Pathologist assistants in a Pathology Department: perceptions of their changing role.

Objective: This study aimed to understand the dynamics of including Pathologists' Assistants in a surgical pathology department.

Methods: A qualitative ethnographic study employed covert participant observation and semi-structured interviews. Field notes and interview transcripts were descriptively analysed to identify categories.

Combined effects of fluoroquinolone antibiotic enrofloxacin and rising sea temperatures on the health of the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis): Exploring physiological, biochemical, and energetic balance dynamics.

Human activity exposes organisms in marine ecosystems to numerous stressors, including rising seawater temperatures and antibiotic contamination. The present study investigated the impacts of environmentally relevant concentrations of the fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotic enrofloxacin (ENR), specifically 5 and 500 ng/L, in Mytilus galloprovincialis under ambient (20 °C) and predicted warming (25 °C) conditions after 14 days of exposure, followed by a 14-day recovery period in the absence of ENR. The chemical analyses revealed significant variability in bioaccumulation in mussel tissues.

Veterinary fluoroquinolones as emerging contaminants in marine environments: study of biochemical responses in subcellular fractions of the Mediterranean mussel ().

Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) are emerging pollutants frequently detected in aquatic environments. However, their impact on marine invertebrates remains underexplored. This study investigated the responses at subcellular level in the Mediterranean mussel () exposed to three veterinary FQs, marbofloxacin (MARB), sarafloxacin (SARA), and difloxacin (DI), at concentrations considered relevant to environmental conditions.
