Acute pericoronitis usually presents with severe localized pain, swelling and sometimes trismus. However, chronic pericoronitis and periodontal abscess produce a dull pain, moderate swelling and are occasionally seen migrating into distant sites producing fistulae intra-orally and/or extra-orally. This may quite often cause diagnostic dilemmas necessitating thorough medical and dental history, careful clinical examination and sometimes special investigations to confirm the etiology and or origin of infection. Here, we present three such cases and their management.

Evaluating intra- and inter-life stage density-dependent dynamics for management of perennial amphidromous fish.

Compensatory density-dependent (DD) processes play an integral role in fisheries management by underpinning fundamental population demographics. However, DD processes are often assessed only for specific life stages, likely resulting in misleading evaluations of population limitations. Here, we assessed the relative roles of intra- and inter-life stage DD interactions in shaping the population dynamics of perennial freshwater fish with demographically open populations.

Background: VEXAS syndrome encompasses a wide range of rheumatological and hematological manifestations, which often features myelodysplastic syndrome accompanied by either macrocytic anemia or macrocytosis.
Case Report: A 61-year-old Sicilian male was referred for a microcytic anemia associated with skin lesions, recurrent fever, involuntary weight loss, recurrent superficial venous thrombosis, migratory polyarthritis and a lung nodule. A hemoglobin electrophoresis uncovered a minor beta-thalassemia contributing to the anemia in addition to the chronic inflammation and vitamin B9/B12 deficiencies.
Low protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score and net nitrogen-to-protein conversion factor value of edible insects.

The amount of chitin, a nitrogen-containing dietary fiber, in edible insects can mislead the exact nitrogen-to-protein conversion factor (NPF) and true protein content. We determined the amino acid score (AAS), protein digestibility-corrected AAS (PDCAAS), chitin content, and net NPF of five edible insects. Additionally, the effect of the amino acid composition of migratory locust on rat growth were investigated.

Aerial surveys are an efficient survey platform, capable of collecting wildlife data across large spatial extents in short timeframes. However, these surveys can yield unreliable data if not carefully executed.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been well recognized for its essential role in cancer progression as well as normal tissue development. In cancer cells, activation of EMT permits the cells to acquire migratory and invasive abilities and stem-like properties. However, simple categorization of cancer cells into epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes misleads the understanding of the complicated metastatic process, and contradictory results from different studies also indicate the limitation of application of EMT theory in cancer metastasis.
