A case of multiple endocrine adenopathy (MEA III) presenting as pheochromocytoma complicated the immediate puerperium. The patient presented with paroxysmal changes in blood pressure and episodic headaches with vertigo. Computed tomography identified a left adrenal mass that was diagnosed preoperatively as pheochromocytoma, with the diagnosis subsequently confirmed on histologic sections. Pheochromocytoma complicating pregnancy is rare, and fewer than 150 cases have been reported on. MEA III presenting as pheochromocytoma and complicating the puerperium is described here for the first time.

Transient Kinetic QXAFS Approach for Understanding the RDE-MEA Gap in Fuel Cell (Oxygen Reduction Reaction) Performances of Pt-Based Electrocatalysts.

There is a large gap between the performances indicated by rotating disk electrode (RDE) results in acidic media and the actual performances obtained in membrane-electrode assemblies (MEAs) composed of the same electrocatalysts. It is unclear whether the intrinsic kinetic reactivity of the available surface Pt sites of Pt-based cathode electrocatalysts is similar or different at RDE and in MEA. To address this, we used an operando element-selective time-resolved Pt L-edge quick X-ray absorption fine structure (QXAFS) technique to determine transient response profiles and rate constants, , , and , corresponding to changes in the oxidation states [white line (WL) intensity] and local structures (coordination numbers of Pt-O and Pt-Pt bonds) at Pt sites for nine representative Pt-based cathode electrocatalysts under transient voltage operations, aiming to understand the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance gap between RDE and MEA.

This work aimed to improve some steps of the existing guidelines of the European Standards to obtain an Aspergillus brasiliensis ATCC 16404 spore suspension with >75% spiny spores without mycelia and a concentration of at least 1.5 × 108 CFU ml-1. Several manufacturers' combinations of "strain/medium" were assessed in terms of yield of spiny spores.

Early postnatal development is a critical period for the configuration of neural networks that support social and affective-like behaviors. In this sense, children raised in stressful environments are at high risk to develop maladaptive behaviors immediately or later in life, including anti-social and aggressive behaviors. However, the neurobiological bases of such phenomena remain poorly understood.

Article Synopsis
- The study tested four different mouse strains (inbred Balb/c, C57Bl/6, hybrid DBA/2*C57Bl/6, and outbred ICR) to determine the effectiveness of four culture media on embryo development.
- Results showed that embryo development varied significantly based on both the strain and the culture medium used, with inbred and outbred strains being more sensitive to suboptimal conditions than hybrids.
- It concluded that optimal culture media vary by strain, and a combination of different strains is necessary for accurate testing, as relying on single strains can lead to erroneous results.

The construction of solar-to-chemical conversion system by mimicking the photosynthetic network of the chloroplast holds great promise on efficient solar energy utilization. We developed an artificial photosynthetic cell (APC) based on molecular biomimetic thylakoid (CoTPP-FePy) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen (H and O) at low driving voltage (1.1 V) and neutral condition (pH≈7).
