Background: Morphological growth naturally progresses with age; however, the rate of growth varies across different parts of an organism, with certain structures developing more rapidly than others. This study aimed to analyze and compare the skull development of red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) during two specific developmental stages: the 3rd and 6th months, which represent distinct growth phases in their early ontogeny.

Methods: In this study, we aimed to analyze and compare skull development in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) during two specific post-natal time points: the 3rd and 6th months.

The aim of this study was to determine the antiviral activity of cannabidiol (CBD) against SARS-CoV-2 infection. CBD is the second most studied cannabinoid obtained from Cannabis plants. We investigated the potential use of CBD, which has so far proven to have a positive effect on different diseases, in the SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Article Synopsis
  • Deregulated transcription factors (TFs) like MYC and JUNB are key players in the growth of multiple myeloma (MM) but their specific roles and interactions within tumor cells are not well understood.
  • This study reveals that MYC and JUNB operate through separate transcriptional programs, showing that changes in one do not affect the other, highlighting their independent regulation in MM cells.
  • Targeting both MYC and JUNB simultaneously with new therapeutic strategies improves the effectiveness of treatment and could lead to better outcomes for MM patients.

Background: The optimal timing of noncardiac surgery (NCS) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for aortic stenosis has not been elucidated by current national guidelines.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the time interval between TAVR and NCS (Δt) on the perioperative risk of major adverse events (MAEs).

Methods: All adult admissions for isolated TAVR for aortic stenosis were identified in the 2016 to 2020 Nationwide Readmissions Database.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 had devastating consequences for human health. Despite the introduction of several vaccines, COVID-19 continues to pose a serious health risk due to emerging variants of concern. DNA vaccines gained importance during the pandemic due to their advantages such as induction of both arms of immune response, rapid development, stability, and safety profiles.
