Antioxidant supplementation to medium for in vitro embryo production in Felis catus

The development of in vitro embryo production (IVEP) techniques in Felis catus is a fittingmodel with potential application to the conservation of endangered felid species. To improvethe quality of IVEP techniques an appropriate balance of pro- and antioxidants shouldbe provided. Under in vitro conditions, high levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathioneperoxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) mRNA provide a defence mechanism against oxidativestress for embryos. In order to improve the devel...

Development of a Radiologic Nomogram to Predict Invasiveness in Pulmonary Pure Ground-Glass Opacities: Analysis of the GORDON Cohort

Background: Most predictive models for assessing the invasiveness of pure ground-glass nodules (pGGOs) have been developed in Asian populations, which may limit their applicability to Western cohorts. As the detection of pGGOs continues to increase, there is a growing need for reliable, population-specific tools to support preoperative decision-making. Methods: This multicenter retrospective study analyzed patients from the GORDON database who underwent surgical resection for pGGOs < 40 mm...

Seasonal influenza in children: Costs for the health system and society in Europe

Background: Pediatric influenza causes significant morbidity annually, resulting in an increased economic burden. Therefore, we aimed to summarize existing literature regarding the costs of pediatric influenza in Europe, paying particular attention to the direct and indirect costs considered in the economic evaluations. Knowing health and social costs of childhood influenza is essential to support value-based health decisions to implement effective immunization strategies. Methods: We searche...
