Studies of the Venusian mesosphere provide important information about the current state of the entire Venusian atmosphere. This includes information about the dense cloud structure, its vertical thermal profile, temperature fields, and the resulting dynamical and meteorological processes that contribute to a deeper understanding of the climatologically different evolutionary paths of Earth and Venus. However, the last measurements were acquired in 1983 during Venera-15 mission.

To facilitate the estimation survival in lung cancer patients with bone metastases, a specific scoring system was created.
Methods: One-hundred-and-fifty-three patients receiving fractionated radiotherapy for bone metastases without spinal cord compression from lung cancer were included in this retrospective study.
Introduction: Depending on their theatre of operation, French soldiers may potentially be exposed to scorpion stings and snakebites. Following the recommendations of a French military health service (FMHS) technical committee for envenomation, the FMHS provides antivenoms appropriate to each deployment. This work aimed to evaluate this risk of envenomation and to assess the antivenoms used by the FMHS in operational theatres since the creation of this committee in 2015.

Patients And Methods: Data of 29 patients irradiated for bone metastases from kidney cancer were retrospectively evaluated.
Background/aim: Understanding prognostic factors of survival are important for treatment personalization in cancer patients. This study aimed to identify such factors for patients irradiated for bone metastases from prostate cancer.
Patients And Methods: Data from 74 patients irradiated between 01/2009 and 04/2019 were retrospectively evaluated.
