Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy as a Tool to Characterize Exercise and Physical Activity: A Systematic Review.

Background: Over the past few decades, the scientific community has recognized the impact of physical activity on health and performance. In parallel, researchers have been actively exploring novel methodologies to analyze the physiological and metabolic responses to exercise. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool in this effort, offering the potential to provide unique insights into exercise-related changes at the molecular level.

Comparison Between Monofocal and Aspheric Monofocal Intraocular Lens With Higher Order Aspheric Optic in Pediatric Patients: Early Outcomes.

Purpose: To retrospectively compare the visual acuity outcomes for far, intermediate, and near vision of an aspheric monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) with higher order aspheric optic with a monofocal IOL in pediatric patients.

Methods: Thirty-eight eyes of 38 patients (mean age: 9.0 ± 2.

Molecular mechanisms of cell death by parthanatos: More questions than answers.

Regulated cell death by a non-apoptotic pathway known as parthanatos is increasingly recognised as a central player in pathological processes, including ischaemic tissue damage and neurodegenerative diseases. Parthanatos is activated under conditions that induce high levels of DNA damage, leading to hyperactivation of the DNA damage sensor PARP1. While this strict dependence on PARP1 activation is a defining feature of parthanatos that distinguishes it from other forms of cell death, the molecular events downstream of PARP1 activation remain poorly understood.

Comparison of the accuracy of minimally invasive techniques (cytology, cell block, immunocytochemistry and clonality assay) in the diagnosis of canine multicentric lymphoma.

Lymphoma ranks among the most prevalent neoplasms in veterinary oncology, frequently diagnosed in dogs, particularly in its multicentric form. While histopathology plays a crucial role in lymphoma diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of biological behavior, minimally invasive diagnostic methods are increasingly emerging as viable alternatives. This study aims to assess and compare various minimally invasive diagnostic techniques for multicentric lymphomas in dogs.
