Background: Femicides, defined as the gender-based killing of women, are a pressing public health issue worldwide, with South Africa experiencing some of the highest rates globally. This study focuses on the North-west region of Tshwane, particularly the Garankuwa area, aiming to address gaps in understanding the epidemiology, demographics, circumstances, and pathology associated with femicides.

January 2025
Department of Nephrology, Japan Community Healthcare Organization Sendai Hospital, 981-3281, Sendai, Miyagi, Japan.
Background: Oliguric acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the critical conditions which needs emergent treatment due to the lack of the capacity of excreting toxins and fluids, and plasma membrane bleb formation is considered as one of the characteristic morphologic alterations in ischemic AKI in both animal models and human. We present here an autopsy case with clear electron microscopy images capturing a definitive instance of blebbing in ischemic AKI.
Case Presentation: A 66-year-old man was admitted for oliguric AKI with nephrotic syndrome (NS).

School of Animal Sciences, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061.
Prolonged exposure to high environmental temperatures results in an accumulated heat load that induces a heat stress (HS) response in dairy cattle. Heat stress compromises dairy farm profitability by reducing milk yield, altering milk composition, and hindering reproductive performance. The ability to alternate between carbohydrate and lipid sources for energy production is termed metabolic flexibility (Met Flex).
