Cheliceral chelal design in free-living astigmatid mites (Arthropoda Acari) is reviewed within a mechanical model. Trophic access (body size and cheliceral reach) and food morsel handling (chelal gape and estimated static adductive crushing force) are morphologically investigated. Forty-seven commonly occurring astigmatid mite species from 20…[Read more]

These effects were paralleled by theta band connectivity increase within hemispheres in a prefrontal-somatosensory network and interhemispherically between prefrontal and parietal areas. In addition, this study revealed significant reduction in PAC between theta/alpha and gamma oscillations during recovery period following tonic pain. These…[Read more]

Management options for carotid stenosis include medical management, carotid endarterectomy, carotid stenting with distal filter protection, or stenting with either flow arrest or flow reversal techniques.1 Flow reversal with transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) technique represents a hybrid approach with surgical access to the common…[Read more]

Intravitreal administration of ADVM-022 was well tolerated and resulted in sustained aflibercept levels in ocular tissues. In addition, ADVM-022 administration 13 months before laser-induced CNV prevented the occurrence of clinically relevant CNV lesions, to the same degree as a bolus of aflibercept delivered at the time of laser. These results…[Read more]

We demonstrate curved modifications with lengths of up to 2 mm within borosilicate glass produced by single 1030 nm picosecond laser shots with an Airy beam profile. Plasma ignition in the sidelobes of the beam as well as surface damage prove to be the crucial limitations for confined bulk energy deposition on a curved trajectory. A combined…[Read more]

Objective To measure the effect of serum estradiol (E2) levels on leptin expression in Macaca nemestrina (southern pig-tailed macaque) endometrial tissue. Materials and methods This study used paraffin-embedded midluteal phase endometrial tissue blocks of Macaca nemestrina from previous study. Included subjects were 15 female macaques of…[Read more]

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major public health problem in Senegal, and the third most common cancer in terms of incidence. However, there are no recent data on the characteristics of this pathology in our country. The aim was to describe the epidemiological, clinical, aetiological and therapeutic aspects of HCC at Hôpital Principal de…[Read more]

Distant metastasis was suspected or confirmed in nine dogs (12.3%) at a median of 375 days postoperatively (range 50-890 days). Twenty-seven dogs (37%) received adjuvant therapy (chemotherapy n = 21; radiotherapy n = 6). Thirty-nine dogs were euthanized or died, with 20 deaths related to disease (n = 10) or of unknown cause (n = 10), 19 due to unr…[Read more]
