[Medical emergencies on board of means of transport].

Medical emergencies occur always and everywhere. The care of patients on board means of transport is not possible with the quality and routine that takes place in ground- or air-based emergency services. Nevertheless, there are some concepts for patient care.

Intrahepatic gallbladder duplication mimicking a hepatic cyst: A case report.

Gallbladder duplication is a rare anomaly of the biliary tree. Implications of misdiagnosis include unwarranted surgery and morbidity such as when liver resections are done suspecting cystic intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct. The use of appropriate imaging, when suspected, facilitates diagnosis and avoids adverse surgical outcomes.

Characterization and Antimicrobial Resistance of Environmental and Clinical Species Isolated from Fresh Water Ornamental Fish and Associated Farming Environment in Sri Lanka.

The aims of this study were to characterize and investigate antimicrobial susceptibility and presence of integrons in 161 spp. isolated from ornamental freshwater fish farming environment, apparently healthy and diseased fish. Phylogenetic analyses of the gene sequences identified as the most abundant species (75.

Protective effects of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D and its analogs on ultraviolet radiation-induced oxidative stress: a review.

The active vitamin D compound, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D) is produced in skin cells following exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) from the sun. However, there are many harmful effects of UV which include DNA damage caused by direct absorption of UV, as well as that caused indirectly via UV-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS). Interestingly, 1,25D and analogs have been shown to reduce both direct and indirect UV-induced DNA damage in skin cells.
