Plant-Associated and : Inside Agents for Biocontrol and Genetic Recombination in Phytomicrobiome.

Berliner () and sensu stricto Frankland and Frankland are closely related species of aerobic, spore-forming bacteria included in the sensu lato group. This group is one of the most studied, but it remains also the most mysterious species of bacteria.

[Case of endovenectomy and stenting with functioning arteriovenous fistula in extended post-thrombotic occlusion of deep veins].

We describe herein a case of surgical treatment of a 32-year-old female patient presenting with multilevel post-thrombotic occlusion of deep veins of the left lower limb. Laboratory study revealed high-risk hereditary thrombophilia (homozygous mutation of PAI-1, MTR, heterozygous mutation of MTHFR, MTRR, ITGA2). The first stage included endovenectomy from the common femoral vein with creation of an arteriovenous fistula between femoral vessels.
