ESBL- and pAmpC-producing Enterobacterales from Swedish dogs and cats 2017-2021: a retrospective study.

Background: Antibiotic resistant bacteria are a threat to both human and animal health. Of special concern are resistance mechanisms that are transmissible between bacteria, such as extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and plasmid-mediated AmpC (pAmpC). ESBL/AmpC resistance is also of importance as it confers resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics including third generation cephalosporins.

Quality of Life, Anxiety and Depression after Acute Type B Aortic Dissection.

Background: Type B aortic dissection (TBAD) is an acute cardiovascular emergency but also a condition warranting life-long surveillance. The long-term consequences on physical and mental well-being are largely unknown. The primary aim was to analyze self-reported Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and symptoms of anxiety and depression in patients with chronic TBAD.

Apolipoprotein A-I priming via SR-BI and ABCA1 receptor binding upregulates mitochondrial metabolism to promote insulin secretion in INS-1E cells.

Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I), the primary component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol primes β-cells to increase insulin secretion, however, the mechanisms involved are not fully defined. Here, we aimed to confirm ApoA-I receptors in β-cells and delineate ApoA-I-receptor pathways in β-cell insulin output. An LRC-TriCEPS experiment was performed using the INS-1E rat β-cell model and ApoA-I for unbiased identification of ApoA-I receptors.

Narrow band imaging in oral cancer did not improve visualisation of the tumour borders: a prospective cohort study.

Background: In oral cancers, tumour borders are typically defined by white light (WL). Narrow-band imaging (NBI) is an optical endoscopic technique commonly used for the larynx and for cancers of unknown primary. However, evidence for using NBI in oral cancers is insufficient.

Risk factors for local recurrence following marginal mandibulectomy in gingival cancer.

Surgery is the first line of treatment in gingival cancers of the mandible, and bone resection is necessary in the majority of cases. In the less extensive surgical option, marginal mandibulectomy (MM), the mandibular base is preserved. In contrast, in a segmental mandibulectomy (SM) the mandible is divided and the continuity is not preserved.
