Testing for substance toxicity for living organisms is an important step in the development and adaptation of new drugs for various purposes. Analysis of the dependences between toxicological parameters of chemical substances for various test objects and physicochemical properties of these agents is a promising trend. Partition coefficient logP (logK) was chosen as the key physicochemical parameter determining the toxicological parameters of the same substance for hydrobionts at different developmental stages. We found a correlation between decimal logarithm of the ratio of LC for fish embryos to LC for adult fish and logP. This dependence was found as a liner combination of equations obtained by drawing a trend line between experimental points and calculation of Pearson's correlation coefficient R.

Purpose: Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS) is a rare, low-grade sarcoma affecting with predilection the acral soft tissues of middle-aged adults. Clinically, MIFS is associated with a high rate of local recurrence but infrequent distant metastases. The diagnosis remains challenging due to their wide histologic spectrum and overlap with reactive, benign, and low-grade malignant lesions.

Cannabis is one of the most widely used drugs, and yet an understanding of its impact on the human brain and body is inconclusive. Medicinal and recreational use of cannabis has increased in the last decade with a concomitant increase in use by pregnant women. The major psychoactive compound in cannabis, Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), exists in different isomers, with the (-) trans isomer most common.

Background: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) substrate characteristics before transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) are unknown.

Objectives: In this study, the authors sought to evaluate substrates for sustained monomorphic VT before TPVR in rTOF.

Methods: Retrospective (2017 to 2021) and prospective (commencing 2021) rTOF patients with native right ventricular outflow tract referred for electrophysiology study (EPS) before TPVR were included.
