Natural Killer cells responsiveness to physical esercise: a brief review [PDF]
Natural killer cells (NK) are a group of peripheral blood lymphocytes which display cytotoxic ac- tivity against a wide range of tumour cells. They are a consistent part of the inflammatory re- sponse that is activated when either internal or external ...

In this study, 3D‐TVS measurements of the uterine junction zone (JZ) in 120 patients showed that a JZmax threshold of ≥ 0.45 cm yielded 77% sensitivity and 89% specificity for adenomyosis diagnosis. Notably, JZ thickness varies minimally with age, demonstrating its stability and excellent diagnostic performance.

Fetal Ductal Constriction, Pulmonary Hypertension and Atrial Septum Mobility
Objectives Fetuses with ductal constriction (FDC), pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular overload after maternal exposure to PGE2 inhibitors—nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or polyphenols (PF)—have increased septum primum excursion index (SPEI), the ratio between maximal septum primum displacement and left atrial diameter.

Polyphenolic Activation of Basophils Explains Alcohol Hypersensitivity in AERD
The mechanism behind alcohol sensitivity in AERD has not been previously characterized. This study demonstrates the activation of basophils in patients with CRSwNP and AERD by polyphenolic compounds, but not ethanol. Since these compounds can be found in alcoholic beverages in similar frequencies by which they trigger symptoms, this research provides a
