We present the case of a 72-year-old man diagnosed with an aortic root aneurysm who was then diagnosed with Marfan syndrome. The patient suffered an intraoperative type B dissection with lower extremity malperfusion managed with an axillary-bifemoral extra-anatomic bypass.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global public health problem. Nevertheless, the knowledge of the factors driving the spread of resistance among environmental microorganisms is limited, and few studies have been performed worldwide. Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.

The present study aimed to evaluate inter- and intraseasonal differences and the influence of playing position on training and fitness metrics in talented young soccer players. A total of 74 male players from U20 teams of a single elite club were tested both at beginning, during, and at the end of three consecutive competitive seasons.

These compounds are largely unexploited despite their high potential interest for pest management. This study evaluated the capability of bacterial species associated with honey bees to produce 2-heptanone, a volatile organic compound with anesthetic properties of the parasitic mite .
View Article and Find Full Text PDFHoney bee-associated bacteria are a source of natural compounds of interest for controlling hive decline which is threatening bee health globally. Genes involved in the biosynthesis of a series of extracellular compounds released by bacteria living on the external surface of honey bees were investigated. A biosynthetic gene-based approach was adopted by developing a battery of primers to target the genes involved in the biosynthesis of four groups of bioactive compounds (pyrrolizidine alkaloids, surfactin, 2-heptanone and helveticin J).
