Long-term use of intravenous catheters can lead to catheter fracture and embolization of fragments. Transcutaneous retrieval of these catheter fragments can be challenging because of their fragility. We report an 8-year-old boy with Hemophilia disease who underwent removal of intravenous Port catheter after 7 years of use, resulting in embolization of fractured catheter fragments into the distal pulmonary arteries. The snare technique to pull the snared fragment into a sheath was unsuccessful, and it leads to further breakdown due to its fragility. An alternative technique using a combination of a snare kit and a Spider FX™ Embolic Protection Device was employed. This technique allowed the fragments to be secured proximally with the basket device and distally with the snare. The unit was then pulled through a sheath and removed from the body. To our knowledge, Spider FX™ Device has not been used in this way before.

The widespread commercialization of genetically modified (GM) crops makes it important to assess the potential impact of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) on non-target organisms. Pardosa astrigera is an important predator in agroforestry ecosystems, and female and male spiders may react differently to Bt toxins due to their different activity habits and nutritional requirements. In this study, we found that exposure to Cry2Aa protein did not affect the survival and body weight of P.

Growing demands for environmentally safe and sustainable pest management have increased interest in biopesticides as alternatives to synthetic chemical pesticides. This review presents the current status of bioacaricides, defined as commercial biopesticide products based on microorganisms (microbial acaricides) and biologically active substances of microbial, plant or animal origin (biochemicals and semiochemicals) used in crop protection against spider mites (Tetranychidae) and other plant-feeding mites. The most important microbial bioacaricides are mycopesticides, which are products manufactured from living propagules of s.

Cadmium (Cd) is a pervasive heavy metal pollutant released into the environment through industrial activities such as mining, smelting, and agricultural runoff. This study aimed to investigate the molecular and metabolic impacts of Cd exposure on the silk glands of , a species renowned for producing silk with exceptional mechanical properties. Cd accumulation in spider bodies and silk glands was significantly higher in the low- and high-Cd groups compared to controls, with a dose- and time-dependent increase.

: The bite of the Loxosceles spider is a public health problem around the world, mainly in Latin America. The viscerocutaneous presentation is related to the inoculation of toxins (phospholipase-D) that generates a systemic inflammatory reaction with a subsequent increase in cytokines and chemokines. Hemoadsorption is proposed as a therapy that allows for the removal of the toxin and modulation of the inflammatory response in this disease.
