Asymptomatic lung abscess of aspergillus in a female without previous lung diseases or immunocompromise: a case report.

Background: Chronic pulmonary abscess usually results from bacterial or mycobacterium infection, but rarely from aspergillosis. Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis is usually found in a person with structural lung disease or immunocompromise. Here, we report a case of chronic lung abscess of aspergillosis without immunocompromise, structural lung diseases or even clinical symptoms.

Characterization of chemosensory genes in the subterranean pest Gryllotalpa Orientalis based on genome assembly and transcriptome comparison.

Background: Chemosensory perception plays a vital role in insect survival and adaptability, driving essential behaviours such as navigation, mate identification, and food location. This sensory process is governed by diverse gene families, including odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), olfactory receptors (ORs), ionotropic receptors (IRs), chemosensory proteins (CSPs), gustatory receptors (GRs), and sensory neuron membrane proteins (SNMPs). The oriental mole cricket (Gryllotalpa orientalis Burmeister), an invasive pest with an underground, phyllophagous lifestyle, causes substantial crop damage.

Decreased risk of cardiovascular disease mortality associated with occasional positive screens following cancer screenings.

Positive results from cancer screenings, like a cancer diagnosis, can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality due to heightened psychological stress. However, positive screening results may also serve as a teachable moment to encourage the adoption of a healthier lifestyle. Consequently, the overall association between positive screenings and CVD mortality risk remains unclear.

Association of a healthy lifestyle index with anthropometric indices and obesity in Hong Kong Chinese women: Evidence from the MECH-HK cohort study.

Aim: This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the associations of a healthy lifestyle index (HLI) with several anthropometric indices and obesity among Hong Kong Chinese women.

Subjects/methods: A total of 3174 women (56.16 ± 8.

Impact of comprehensive thermal insulation on stress response and immune function in hysteroscopy patients: A retrospective study.

This retrospective study explores the impact of comprehensive thermal insulation measures on the stress response of patients undergoing hysteroscopy surgery. A total of 600 patients who underwent hysteroscopy at our hospital from January 2018 to December 2022 were included. Participants were randomly assigned to an observation group (n = 305) and a control group (n = 295).
