Purpose: eHealth might contribute to changes in roles and responsibilities of patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs), including the patient's potential to enhance self-regulation. The aim of this study was to identify important aspects and experiences of self-regulation and factors that may support self-regulation in blended rehabilitation care.
Materials And Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted among HCPs and patients regarding perceptions and experiences with self-regulation in relation to a telerehabilitation portal.

Background: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) leads to portal hypertension (PH) with its sequelae. Computed tomography spleno-mesenterico-portography (CT-SMPG) combines sequential CT spleno-portography and CT mesenterico-portography. CT-SMPG comprehensively illustrates the venous hemodynamic changes due to PH.

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in dogs is a metabolic disorder of the central nervous system that occurs secondarily to liver dysfunctions, whether due to acquired or congenital causes. A portosystemic shunt is the presence of abnormal communications between the hepatic vessels (portal and suprahepatic veins). As a result of this, the blood brought from the digestive tract through the portal vein bypasses the liver, and the unmetabolized components of the portal bloodstream enter directly into systemic circulation, causing clinical symptoms of metabolic encephalopathy (HE).

This study aimed to identify and analyze imaging and pathological features that differentiate liver metastases from primary liver cancer in patients with histopathological confirmation, and to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of imaging modalities. This retrospective study included 137 patients who underwent liver biopsy or resection between 2016 and 2024, comprising 126 patients with liver metastases and 11 patients with primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma). Imaging features on contrast-enhanced MRI were evaluated, including lesion number, size, margins, enhancement patterns, presence of capsule, T1/T2 signal characteristics, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) signal, and portal vein thrombosis.

Paraquat (PQ) is a widely used herbicide; however, it has been linked to various diseases, including an increased risk of developing Parkinsonism. To study this, invertebrates such as ascidians have been used. They have a simple nervous system and are considered an emerging model for the study of neurodegenerative diseases.
