The origins and dispersal of the chicken across the ancient world remains one of the most enigmatic questions regarding Eurasian domesticated animals. The lack of agreement concerning timing and centers of origin is due to issues with morphological identifications, a lack of direct dating, and poor preservation of thin, brittle bird bones. Here we show that chickens were widely raised across southern Central Asia from the fourth century BC through medieval periods, likely dispersing along the ancient Silk Road.

- The Zarafshan River, originating in Tajikistan and flowing into the Kyzyl-Kum Desert in Uzbekistan, was historically significant for the Sogdians as a trade route and settlement area from the end of the first millennium BC to the first millennium AD.
- Recent archaeobotanical studies at five ancient urban sites in the Lower Zarafshan area reveal a range of cultivated crops, including cereals, legumes, and fruits, highlighting the region's agricultural diversity from the fifth to twelfth centuries AD.
- The paper aims to track the evolution of agricultural practices over time and analyze dietary changes before and after the Islamic conquest at various settlements along the river.
We describe in detail a case of the anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) type of primary bone lymphoma, which initially was diagnosed and treated as osteomyelitis. The diagnosis was delayed because of unspecific clinical symptoms and uncertain radiographs and histology. Only relapse of the lymphoma from the same area with involvement of the soft tissue and local lymph nodes allowed to establish a correct diagnosis and start treatment.

The aim of this study was to compare demographic indicators, lipids, and clinical results one year after CABG in patients with different phenotypes of coronary artery (CA) disease. In total, 390 patients hospitalized for elective CABG were included in a single-center prospective study.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: According to a series of studies, performing coronary endarterectomy in direct myocardial revascularization increases the risk of myocardial infarction and in-hospital mortality. There are no commonly accepted indications for carrying out endarterectomy, and in clinical practice this technique is used in severe diffuse lesions of coronary arteries.
Aim: The study was aimed at assessing in-hospital clinical outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with the use of endarterectomy in patients with severe multiple diffuse lesions of coronary arteries.
