[The evolution of ideas about therapeutic interruption of pregnancy].

J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris)

Published: March 1975

The author has analysed 77 therapeutic terminations of pregnancy carried out at the C.H.U. in Toulouse between 1959 and 1973. He concludes that ideas about the indications for therapeutic termination of pregnancy should be completely revised under the pressure of change in medical knowledge and in philosophical attitudes. He points out the danger of becoming tied up in this matter in too rigid a framework. He emphasizes that therapeutic abortion is just another variety of induced abortion and like the latter it carries many immediate and late risks.

Detection of Mycoplasma spp. from snakes from five different families.

BMC Vet Res

LABOKLIN GmbH & Co.KG, Labor für klinische Diagnostik, Steubenstraße 4, Bad Kissingen, D-97688, Germany.

Background: Mycoplasmas are an important cause of respiratory diseases in tortoises. In snakes, evidence of mycoplasma infections has been found almost exclusively in pythons. To better understand the occurrence of these bacteria in other snake species, samples submitted for routine testing for respiratory pathogens were also tested for mycoplasma by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Background: Tumor microenvironment (TME), particularly immune cell infiltration, programmed cell death (PCD) and stress, has increasingly become a focal point in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment. Uncovering the intricate crosstalk between these factors can enhance our understanding of CRC, guide therapeutic strategies, and improve patient prognosis.

Methods: We constructed an immune-related cell death and stress (ICDS) prognostic model utilizing machine learning methodologies.

Evolutionary perspectives have yielded profound insights in health and medical sciences. A fundamental recognition is that modern diet and lifestyle practices are mismatched with the human physiological constitution, shaped over eons in response to environmental selective pressures. This Darwinian angle can help illuminate and resolve issues in nutrition, including the contentious issue of fat consumption.

Reference genome provide insights into sex determination of silver aworana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum).

BMC Biol

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Prevention and Control for Aquatic Invasive Alien Species, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Guangdong Modern Recreational Fisheries Engineering Technology Center, Pearl River Fisheries Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, Guangzhou, China.

Background: Silver arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) is a basal fish species with sexual monomorphism, while its sex determination mechanism has been poorly understood, posing a significant challenge to its captive breeding efforts.

Results: We constructed two high-quality chromosome-level genome assemblies for both female and male silver arowana, with scaffold N50 values over 10 Mb. Combining re-sequencing data of 109 individuals, we identified a female-specific region, which was localized in a non-coding region, i.
