This case report describes the radiographic, ultrasonographic and computed tomographic (CT) examination of an abdominal swelling in a Red Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus Cuvier, 1829). While radiography only demonstrated caudoventral compression of the swimbladder, ultrasonography found a huge tumor-like parenchyma in the caudal abdomen. CT studies detected a possible connection between the tumor and the kidneys. Necropsy and pathohistology were performed. A papillary-cystic adenoma of the kidney was diagnosed.

This Special Issue brings together pioneering research that explores the neurobiological and hormonal underpinnings of parenting, with an important emphasis on translational perspectives that bridge laboratory findings with real-world applications. By integrating evidence from both human and animal studies, this collection sheds light on the biological flexibility that supports adaptive caregiving behaviors, offering insights into the hormonal shifts, neural adaptations, and stress responses that characterize the perinatal and postpartum periods.

Article Synopsis
  • Genetic testing is crucial for diagnosing short QT syndrome, a rare inherited condition that leads to dangerous heart rhythms and is marked by short QT intervals on an ECG.
  • Researchers reviewed and updated knowledge about 34 rare genetic variants linked to short QT syndrome, identifying only nine that definitively cause the condition.
  • The variants were found in four main genes (KCNQ1, KCNH2, KCNJ2, SLC4A3), highlighting the importance of reanalyzing genetic data to improve patient care and early identification of at-risk individuals.

Background: Factors associated with severe COVID-19 infection have been identified; however, the impact of infection on longer-term outcomes is unclear. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of COVID-19 infection on the trajectory of lung function and nutritional status in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF).

Methods: This is a retrospective global cohort study of pwCF who had confirmed COVID-19 infection diagnosed between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021.

The invention of organic light emitting diodes (LEDs) led to enormous excitement in both academe and industry in the late 1980's. Flexibility, large area solution processability, roll-to-roll printing, low cost, and environmentally friendly are some of the advantages of organic semiconductor materials, which brought a new horizon for optoelectronics. Together with the achievement of organic solar cells, transistors, lasers, and amplifiers, this has demonstrated potential applications of organic semiconductors in displays, lighting, solar energy generation, electronics, sensing and imaging, and many aspects of photonics.
