INTRODUCTION: A retrospective study was carried out on 500 abdominoplasties with lower pubic transverse incision combined with liposuction, performed from 2007 to 2014.In all cases, the dissection of the abdominal skin flap was restricted, with adhesion sutures applied throughout the dissected regions.The use of vacuum suction drains was also evalu
Comparative analysis of the distribution and antifungal susceptibility of yeast species in cat facial hair and human nails
Abstract Zoonotic yeast species have been implicated in disease development in both humans and cats.This study analyzed the yeast mycobiota present in feline facial hair and human nails and explored potential interspecies associations.A total of 118 biological specimens were examined, including 59 feline facial hair and 59 human nail samples.DNA ex
Calibrating canines—a universal detector calibrant for detection dogs
Since the advent of the Universal Detector Calibrant (UDC) by scientists at Florida International University in 2013, this tool has gone largely unrecognized and under-utilized by canine scent detection practitioners.The UDC is a chemical that enables reliability testing of biological and instrumental detectors.Training a biological detector, such
Prediction of the Presence of Targetable Molecular Alteration(s) with Clinico-Metabolic 18 F-FDG PET Radiomics in Non-Asian Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients
This study aimed to investigate if combining clinical characteristics with pulley roller pre-therapeutic 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) radiomics could predict the presence of molecular alteration(s) in key molecular targets in lung adenocarcinoma.This non-interventional monocentric study included patients wit
