Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) : A population-based study of incidence and survival in Girona province, 1994-2004 [PDF]
Els tumors neuroendocrins (TNEs) són un grup de neoplàsies poc freqüents i heterogènies i amb un ampli espectre d'agressivitat. Hi ha molt poca informació epidemiològica a nivell mundial, l'objectiu d'aquest estudi ha estat el de reportar-ne les dades a ...

The vaginal microbiota plays a crucial role in mucosal immunity and defense against pathogens. Disruption of this balance by Candida albicans exosomes (CAE) upregulates virulence‐related SAP1–10 genes and induces inflammation. In a rat model, treatment with Morus alba (MA) extract and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LR) demonstrated selective suppression of ...
