Establishment of the complete life cycle of Calicophoron daubneyi under experimental conditions.

The complex life cycle of the rumen fluke Calicophoron daubneyi is similar to that of the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica. Interestingly, C. daubneyi and F.

S2k guideline basal cell carcinoma of the skin (update 2023).

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor in the fair-skinned population and its incidence continues to rise. An update of the S2k guideline with the participation of all specialist societies familiar with the clinical picture and previous literature research is of great importance for the quality of care for affected patients. In addition to epidemiology, diagnostics and histology are discussed.

Pelvic Venous Disorders in Women: 5-Year Update from a Society of Interventional Radiology Foundation-Sponsored Research Consensus Panel.

Pelvic venous disorders (PeVDs) are rarely considered as a cause of chronic pelvic pain in women being evaluated by nonvascular specialists. A Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) Foundation-sponsored Research Consensus Panel addressing this issue identified multiple gaps in the literature and made recommendations to enhance the evidence. Since publication of these recommendations in 2019, significant progress has been made in developing the necessary tools to improve the ability to conduct rigorous clinical studies and advance the evidence supporting the diagnosis and treatment of PeVD.

The skin microbiome stratifies patients with cutaneous T cell lymphoma and determines event-free survival.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common entity of Cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCL) and is characterized by the presence of clonal malignant T cells in the skin. The role of the skin microbiome for MF development and progression are currently poorly understood. Using shotgun metagenomic profiling, real-time qPCR, and T cell receptor sequencing, we compared lesional and nonlesional skin of 20 MF patients with early and advanced MF.
