Article Synopsis
  • * In a study involving 2,823 cancer patients, both sexes experienced pulmonary embolism as the most common type of venous thromboembolic event, with differing rates of rethrombosis: 10.0% for men and 15.0% for women after a median follow-up of 6.9 months.
  • * Men experienced a higher incidence of major bleeding compared to women, making sex an important consideration in determining the length of anticoagulant therapy for cancer patients, especially with specific risk factors involved.

The critical levels of CO emissions reached in the past decade have encouraged researchers into finding techniques to reduce the amount of anthropogenic CO expelled to the atmosphere. One possibility is to capture the produced CO from the source of emission or even from air (i.e.

Alterations induced by maternal immune activation (MIA) during gestation impact the subsequent neurodevelopment of progeny, a process that in humans, has been linked to the development of several neuropsychiatric conditions. To undertake a comprehensive examination of the molecular mechanisms governing MIA, we have devised an in vitro model based on neural stem cells (NSCs) sourced from fetuses carried by animals subjected to Poly I:C treatment. These neural progenitors demonstrate proliferative capacity and can be effectively differentiated into both neurons and glial cells.

Whole-body vibrations have several harmful effects on the population's health. The most suitable way to characterize the vibrations is to use the daily vibration exposure A (8) and Vibration Dose Value as specified in 44/EC. Therefore, based on the existing literature, we propose Probit equations that allow us to relate the population percentage affected by the vibration effects (low-back pain, sciatica, and herniated disc) with the A (8) and the Vibration Dose Value.

Article Synopsis
  • The work aims to establish equations connecting exposure time to solar radiation, the ultraviolet index (UVI), and their effects on vitamin D synthesis and sunburns.
  • It introduces PROBIT equations to predict how much vitamin D various skin types (I to IV) can produce based on repeated sun exposure and protective measures.
  • The findings suggest that balancing skin exposure can help achieve required vitamin D levels of 2000 IU or more while minimizing the risk of sunburn, particularly by adjusting the area of skin that is exposed.
