Hematologists' state of knowledge on practical aspects of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) in adult patients: A Young Hematologists' Club survey.

Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome with various etiologies. Its treatment is complicated by several important but not immediately obvious issues (e.g.

The effect of early life immune challenge on adult forced swim test performance and hippocampal neurogenesis.

Many psychiatric diseases can be considered neurodevelopmental in nature and accumulating evidence links immune system dysfunction to disease etiology. Yet, it is currently unknown how the immune system alters brain function through development to increase susceptibility to psychiatric illness. Neonatal immune challenge in rodents is a neurodevelopmental model that has been associated with long-term molecular and behavioural changes in stress-reactivity.

Differential Mueller matrix imaging of partially depolarizing optically anisotropic biological tissues.

Since recently, a number of innovative polarization-based optical imaging modalities have been introduced and extensively used in various biomedical applications, with an ultimate aim to attain the practical tool for the optical biopsy and functional characterization of biological tissues. The techniques utilize polarization properties of light and Mueller matrix mapping of microscopic images of histological sections of biological tissues or polycrystalline films of biological fluids. The main drawback of currently developed laser polarimetry approaches and Mueller matrix mapping techniques is poor reproducibility of experimental data.

Relationships between diets and the quality of life to women aged 50 to 64.

Background: Adverse effects of numerous environmental factors, including improperly balanced diets, may accelerate the onset of ailments related to the climacteric period.

Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the relationships between diets and the quality of life of working women aged 50-64 years.

Material And Methods: The study included 274 working women aged 55.

Carotid Flow as a Surrogate for Cardiac Output Measurement in Hemodynamically Stable Participants.

Objective: Evaluation of common carotid artery (CCA) blood flow can provide valuable information regarding the hemodynamic status of a patient. Utilizing ultrasound, we aimed to evaluate the correlation between cardiac output and different hemodynamic parameters in the CCA, namely systolic carotid flow (SCF), corrected flow time (CFT), and total carotid flow (TCF).

Methods: We studied a pilot sample of 20 healthy volunteers.
