Schwannomas are benign tumors that are rarely found in the oral cavity. We presented a schwannoma arising from the parasympathetic fibers of the lingual nerve, which is the first in the literature to our knowledge. Its borders in computerized tomography are not well defined despite the contrast medium.

Introduction: IUDs are effective, reversible and safe methods of contraception. The mechanism of action of IUDs as a group is inducing endometrial atrophy, apoptosis, altering tubal motility; preventing sperm permeability, fertilization, and implantation. Complications of IUD include menstrual disturbance, pelvic pain, and increased risk of ectopic pregnancy with contraceptive failure, device expulsion, uterine perforation or transmural migration with misplacement of the device.

The pollution potential of a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Bursa, Türkiye, in terms of organochlorine pesticides (ΣOCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (ΣPCBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (ΣPBDEs), was investigated in air samples. Concentrations were determined using polyurethane foam disk samplers at key processes, such as the aeration tank (AT) and settling chamber (SC) of the WWTP and the background area (BA) at an urban site. Atmospheric concentration levels of PBDEs at the SC are 1.

Thermosensitive liposomes (TSLs) have great potential for the selective delivery of cytostatic drugs to the tumor site with greatly reduced side effects. Here we report the discovery and characterization of new thermosensitive small multilamellar lipid nanoparticles (tSMLPs) with unusually high temperature selectivity. Furthermore, the temperature-dependent release of the fluorescent marker calcein from tSMLPs is enhanced by human serum albumin.

Hemoglobin and myoglobin are known to undergo autoxidation, in which the oxyferrous form of the heme is oxidized to the ferric state by O. Dehaloperoxidase-A (DHP-A), a multifunctional catalytic hemoglobin from Amphitrite ornata is an exception and is observed to undergo the reverse process, during which the ferric heme is spontaneously reduced to the oxyferrous form under aerobic conditions. The high reduction potential of DHP (+202 mV at pH 7.

During the isolation, identification, and assessment of nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) against nematodes, we discovered an unusual fungus in decaying wood from Morelos State, Mexico. This isolate exhibited some characteristics similar to those of the genus; however, we found that it did not match any previously reported species within this genus after conducting morphological and phylogenetic analyses using the ITS, TEF, and RPB2 regions. This new species displays conidiophores with two or three stems emerging from the same initial site and conidiophores with only a single stem and aerial thickened hyphae from which single conidiophores emerge, forming 3D adhesive nets.
