- * The tumors included various types, such as aortic and carotid body PGLs, thyroid cancer, and other growths, with one aortic body tumor showing malignant traits.
- * No genetic mutations were found in the SDHD gene subunits analyzed, indicating that other genetic factors may contribute to tumor development, prompting further research in this area.
Introduction: Hypovolaemia is presumed to be a common risk factor of postinduction hypotension (PIH), despite worldwide improvement in preoperative volume optimization. Correct assessment of fluid status in patients undergoing general anaesthesia remains a major challenge for anaesthesiologists. Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is a sensitive method that allows objective assessment of patient fluid status as it can detect subclinical changes.

- Ultrasound-guided kidney biopsy is a crucial diagnostic tool that helps differentiate between acute and chronic kidney diseases in dogs, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment decisions.
- A study involving 28 dogs revealed various nephropathy types, with glomerulonephritis being the most common, and highlighted significant effects like increased urinary iNAG levels post-biopsy, indicating kidney damage.
- All dogs experienced some degree of hematuria after the biopsy, which was transient and resolved without treatment, suggesting that while biopsy is invasive, side effects tend to be manageable.
Introduction: The stereotype content model postulates that different groups evoke different emotions and reactions based on two dimensions: intention toward others (warmth) and competence.
Methods: In this study, we used an experimental design and a qualitative approach to investigate how managerial strategies are selected and motivated when a subordinate makes a work task related error but belongs to a group that is stereotypical perceived differently in terms of warmth and competence (age groups with or without a medical condition). Thus 75 employees analyzed one of the five hypothetical cases and described the managerial strategy and motivation for usage.
BACKGROUND Rhabdomyolysis, an uncommon but recognized adverse effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants, can precipitate acute renal injury (AKI), especially when combined with risk factors such as alcohol consumption. This report describes a 68-year-old man with acute renal failure due to rhabdomyolysis associated with alcohol intoxication while taking low-dose escitalopram, an SSRI antidepressant. CASE REPORT The patient, with a history of bipolar affective disorder managed with escitalopram, presented with symptoms of general malaise, diarrhea, myalgias, and transient loss of consciousness following substantial ethanol consumption.
