Chick embryonic retina was examined in order to investigate morphological changes of the apical portion of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Whole retina and RPE sheets were observed by fluorescence microscopy (rhodamine-phalloidin preparation) and transmission electron microscopy. Photoreceptor cells had no inner and outer segments on the 8th day in ovo. The inner segments have been formed on the 15th day and the outer segments on the 19th day. RPE sheets had short and blunt apical processes on the 8th day, elongated and slender ones on the 15th day, and well-developed and melanin-containing processes on the 19th day. RPE of the 19th day had numerous bundles of actin filaments associated with melanin pigments in the basal portion of the apical processes and in the apical cytoplasm. In rhodamine-phalloidin preparations, intense fluorescence was localized in the RPE apical processes and cytoplasm on the 19th day. We concluded that RPE apical processes develop in accordance with the photoreceptor development.

Georgios Photeinos and his (1835) published in Ottoman Smyrna.

The , authored by Ottoman pharmacist Georgios Photeinos and published in 1835 in Smyrna (modern-day Izmir, Türkiye), is a historically significant yet largely overlooked work in 19th-century pharmaceutical literature. At a time when modern pharmaceutical resources in Greek were scarce, Photeinos sought to address this gap by creating a comprehensive pharmacopoeia that extensively drew from the Austrian Pharmacopoeia, as well as French and Latin sources. Although he initiated the project around 1804, political upheavals delayed its completion by more than three decades.

Purpose: To explore how children and adolescents with chronic pain describe their pain experiences.
Method: A systematic search of OVID Medline, CINAHL Complete, OVID Embase and APA PsycINFO (database inception to 19th August 2024) was conducted for qualitative or mixed-method studies investigating children's chronic pain experiences. Studies were excluded if focused on post-surgical or acute pain.

In April 2023, a major dust storm event in Lanzhou attracted widespread attention. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the causes, progression, and dust sources of this event using multiple data sources and methods. Backward trajectory analysis using the HYSPLIT model was employed to trace the origins of the dust, while FY-2H satellite data provided high-resolution dust distribution patterns.

Background: The effects of ionizing radiation (IR) involve a highly orchestrated series of events in cells, including DNA damage and repair, cell death, and changes in the level of proliferation associated with the stage of the cell cycle. A large number of existing studies in literature have examined the activity of genes and their regulators in mammalian cells in response to high doses of ionizing radiation. Although there are many studies, the research in effect of low doses of ionizing radiation remains limited.
