This study was conducted to compare the scrotal skin dynamics of camel and buffalo bulls regarding thermoregulation, season and testosterone. Scrotal skin and blood samples (n = 8 each) were collected during breeding (October to March) and non-breeding seasons (April to August). Tissue slides were prepared by the paraffin embedding technique followed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and were analysed by ImageJ®.

BACKGROUND Lurbinectedin (Lurbi) was first approved in June 2020 for metastatic small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients with progression following platinum-based chemotherapy. Extrapulmonary small cell neuroendocrine cancers (SCNECs) are treated with regimens used for SCLCs.

Introduction: The benefit of immediate reinduction chemotherapy for patients with indeterminate day 14 bone marrow results (≤ 20% cellularity and 5%-20% blasts) remains unclear. We report our experience with patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with indeterminate day 14 bone marrow biopsy results treated with reinduction chemotherapy versus observation alone.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective study to assess the outcomes of adult patients with newly diagnosed AML treated with or without reinduction chemotherapy for indeterminate day 14 bone marrow results.

In the United States, approximately 240,000 men are diagnosed annually with prostate cancer. Although effective treatment options are available for clinically localized cancer, the potential burdensome co-morbidities and attendant healthcare costs from over diagnosis and over treatment have escalated the discussion and controversy regarding appropriate screening, diagnosis, and optimal management of prostate cancer. Although the lifetime risk of developing prostate cancer is approximately 1 in 6 (~16%), the risk of dying from the disease is only ~2%.

Article Synopsis
  • Rivaroxaban is a blood thinner used to prevent blood clots, but recent reports suggest it may cause liver damage, although severe liver failure cases are rare.
  • An 89-year-old woman, starting rivaroxaban after hospitalization for heart failure, initially showed normal liver function but developed severe liver issues a week later, leading to symptoms of liver failure.
  • After stopping all her medications, her liver enzymes improved, but she ultimately succumbed to multi-organ failure, indicating a likely connection between her condition and rivaroxaban use.

The present experiment was executed to determine the pathological effects induced by concurrent feeding of butachlor (chloroacetanilide herbicide) in male Japanese quail. For this purpose mature male quail about 4-5weeks of age were procured from the local market and randomly divided into six equal groups (A-F). Butachlor was mixed in corn oil and administered orally for 30days using crop tube.
