Stingray Injury Complicated by Vibrio alginolyticus Wound Infection and Posterior Tibial Artery Pseudoaneurysm in a Returning Traveler.

Stingray injury is common in temperate and tropical waters worldwide. The majority of injuries are minor and can be managed with simple first aid at the shoreline; however, serious complications can occur. We report a case of Vibrio alginolyticus wound infection, retained foreign body, and posterior tibial artery pseudoaneurysm after stingray envenomation in a returning traveler.

FeCl and GdCl solutions as superfast relaxation modifiers for agarose gel: a quantitative analysis.

Object: This study aimed to evaluate the relaxivity and uniformity of agarose gel phantoms added with relaxation modifiers. It is hypothesized that the modifiers could manipulate the T1 and T2 relaxations as well as the signal uniformity.

Materials And Methods: Twenty agarose gel phantoms with different GdCl₃ and FeCl₃ volume fractions were prepared.

Fine-tuning levels of filamins a and b as a specific mechanism sustaining Th2 lymphocyte functions.

Augmenting the portfolio of therapeutics for type 2-driven diseases is crucial to address unmet clinical needs and to design personalized treatment schemes. An attractive therapy for such diseases would consist in targeting the recruitment of T helper 2 (Th2) lymphocytes to inflammatory sites. Herein, we show the degradation of filamins (FLN) a and b by the ASB2α E3 ubiquitin ligase as a mechanism sustaining Th2 lymphocyte functions.

Exposure to secondhand smoke among school-going adolescents in Malaysia: Results from the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2022: Adolescent Health Survey (AHS).

Introduction: The adverse effects of secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure on health have been well established. Using the NHMS 2002: Adolescent Health Survey (AHS), this study attempts to evaluate the extent and factors associated with SHS exposure among Malaysian school-going adolescents.

Methods: We conducted the NHMS 2022: AHS to gather a representative sample of school-age teenagers.
