Published: September 2004

A study of Haller's organ regeneration in nymphs and adults of Haemaphysalis turturis and parthenogenetic females of H. longicornis, from which the forelegs had been amputated during the previous instar, revealed structural changes in regenerated organs. The adult regenerates reestablished atavistic structural features, while the nymphal regenerates retained larval features, which is typical of regenerates of two other genera examined previously (Ixodes and Hyalomma). Data on regeneration of Haller's sensory organ testify to an ancient character of the genus, standing closely to the base of the phylogenetic tree of hard ticks.

Purpose: Utilizing Swept source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) investigates the changes in the vascular characteristics of the choriocapillaris and larger vascular layers, including Sattler's and Haller's layers, in the macular region of young myopia patients, in order to to Enhance our comprehension of the underlying mechanisms of the pathogenesis of myopia.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 103 young adults (154 eyes) that underwent SS-OCTA. Axial lengths (AL) were measured, 64 eyes with AL < 26.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study over 21 years found that many sustentaculum fractures were missed in initial radiographic assessments, particularly in high-energy trauma cases such as Hawkins II fractures.
  • * The study concluded that while independent fixation of these fractures is common, it does not significantly impact the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis or the need for re-operation.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). To understand how microbial-metabolic circuits contribute to intestinal injury, we disrupt mitochondrial function in the epithelium by deleting the mitochondrial chaperone, heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60). This metabolic perturbation causes self-resolving tissue injury.

Post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) remains a leading complication after solid organ transplantation. Previous international PTDM consensus meetings in 2003 and 2013 provided standardized frameworks to reduce heterogeneity in diagnosis, risk stratification and management. However, the last decade has seen significant advancements in our PTDM knowledge complemented by rapidly changing treatment algorithms for management of diabetes in the general population.
