Characterization of retinal pigment epithelium layer in healthy and diseased retinas with high‐resolution adaptive optics transscleral flood illumination imaging

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is critical in the pathophysiology of retinal diseases, such as age‐related macular degeneration. Adaptive optics transscleral flood illumination (AO‐TFI) offers rapid, detailed morphometric characterization of the RPE layer.

Morphological and Morphometric Analysis of Animal Hair From 18th Century Burial Sites in Mazamet (Southwest France)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Morphological and morphometric analysis of archaeological animal hairs offers a nondestructive method to explore past clothing. We examined hair from two 18th‐century burial areas (SP03 and SP04) in Mazamet, France. SP03 specimens exhibited a continuous medulla, a low medullary index (0.2 ± 0.03) and cuticular features suggesting goat or ...

Anti‐inflammatory effects of physical stimuli: The central role of networks in shaping the future of pharmacological research

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Addressing complexity in the study of life sciences through Systems Biology and Systems Medicine has been transformative, making Systems Pharmacology the next logical step. In this review, we focus on physical stimuli, whose potential in pharmacology has been neglected, despite demonstrated therapeutic properties.

Novel Histopathologic Features of Diffuse Blue‐Gray Hyperpigmentation Associated With Kratom Use: A Case Report and Literature Review

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Drug‐induced hyperpigmentation accounts for 10%–20% of acquired pigmentary disorders and can be misdiagnosed for other causes such as melasma, post inflammatory changes, or heavy metal deposition. Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa), a Southeast Asian plant with an opioid‐like profile, has been increasingly used in the United States for ...
