Extensive Subcutaneous Emphysema and Pneumomediastinum Following Eustachian Tube Dilation and PET Insertion: A Rare Complication

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Eustachian tube dilation (ETD) is an increasingly popular and seemingly safe method of treating ETD. We present a rare case of subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum following ETD. Methods Retrospective chart review. Patient consent was obtained for data collection, analysis, drafting, and publication of information ...

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

Calcitonin‐like diuretic hormone influences reproduction in adult female Rhodnius prolixus

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Highlights • CT/DH‐like immunoreactivity is present in female reproductive tissues • CT/DH receptor transcripts are expressed in the fat body and ovaries • RNAi knockdown of CT/DH receptors reduces egg number and hatching rate • Rhopr‐CT/DH increases RhoprVg1 and RhoprVgR expression in ovaries in vitro • Rhopr‐CT/DH stimulates oviduct contractions in a

Rapid hormonal rise in honey bees due to heat‐shock is mitigated by a primer pheromone

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We show that honey bee foragers increased juvenile hormone (JH) titers significantly after heat‐shocked for 1 h at 40 °C, but this increase is dependent on social conditions. Increase of JH titers only happened when bees were isolated (one worker bee per vial) but not in groups.

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Ozone‐driven degradation of sex pheromone in Plutella xylostella: Implications for reproductive communication and mating success

Insect Science, EarlyView.
In this study, we examined whether realistic ozone concentrations can interfere with sexual communication in the insect pest Plutella xylostella, the diamondback moth. Ozone exposure caused a degradation of pheromone components, leading to significant changes in blend composition and component ratios.

Quantitative Dual‐Energy CT Perfusion Versus SPECT/CT V/Q Scintigraphy for Preoperative Lung Function Assessment: A Prospective Cohort Study

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Accurate preoperative physiological assessment is critical for high‐risk patients undergoing lung resection to predict postoperative lung function. This study compared quantitative dual‐energy CT (DECT) perfusion with SPECT/CT for lobar perfusion mapping in an at‐risk oncological cohort.

Photon‐Counting Detector CT Versus Conventional CT for Low‐Dose Chest Imaging: A Reader Preference Study

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Photon‐counting detector CT (PCD‐CT) is a technology that directly counts individual photons and their energy, compared to conventional energy‐integrating detector CT (EID‐CT) which measures the total deposited X‐ray energy without distinguishing photon energies.

Intensive care decision‐making, survival and dying well: a mixed methods study with people who have been intensive care patients

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Admission to the ICU involves experiential burdens and a risk of a negative dying experience if patients do not survive their critical illness. Many patients who are critically unwell, or their surrogate decision‐makers, must decide about accepting ICU treatment without knowing what it is like.

Basal Cell Carcinoma and Syringocystoadenoma Papilliferum Arising in Naevus Sebaceous—A Narrative Review

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Naevus sebaceous (NS) is a congenital cutaneous hamartoma characterised by epidermal, follicular, sebaceous and apocrine components, with a rare but significant potential for malignant transformation, most commonly into basal cell carcinoma (BCC).
