Ceus features of liver pecoma: a case report and literature review.

Perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasms (PEComas) and epithelioid angiomyolipomas (EAMLs) are two different denominations for the same "mesenchymal tumor composed of histologically and immunohistochemically distinctive perivascular epithelioid cells". Hepatic PEComa/EAML is a very rare neoplasm, and only 29 case reports of hepatic PEComa and 25 of hepatic EAML have been reported in the current literature. A clear female predominance with a mean age at diagnosis of 42.

Branch Numbers and Crop Load Combination Effects on Production and Fruit Quality of Flat Peach Cultivars ( (L.) Batsch) Trained as Catalonian Vase.

Thinning and pruning are expensive cultural practices in peach cultivation, but essential to obtain adequate production. This study evaluated the effects of combining two pruning (four and six scaffold branches) and three thinning (low, medium, and high crop load) levels on yield and fruit quality of four different flat peach cultivars, trained as Catalonian vase in 2017-2018 in Italy. Productive (average fruit weight, plant total production, and fruit circumference), qualitative (fruit firmness and overcolor, Soluble Solids Content, and Titratable Acidity), and nutritional (Total Antioxidant Capacity, and Total Phenol Content) parameters were evaluated.

Cancer patient perspective in the arena of COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has been declared a global pandemic of unprecedented proportions. Italy is a country which has been heavily affected. Cancer patients are at a higher risk owing to their intrinsic fragility related to their underlying disease and oncologic treatment.

Accurate Prediction of Protein NMR Spin Relaxation by Means of Polarizable Force Fields. Application to Strongly Anisotropic Rotational Diffusion.

Among the various biophysical methods available to investigate protein dynamics, NMR presents the ability to scrutinize protein motions on a broad range of time scales. H-N NMR spin relaxation experiments can reveal the extent of protein motions across the picosecond-nanosecond dynamics probed by the fundamental parameters N-, N-, and H-N NOE that can be well sampled by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. An accurate prediction of these parameters is subjected to a proper description of the rotational diffusion and anisotropy.
