In experiments on 30 white female rats weighing 180-220 g, the effect of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO, 3 ata (303.6 kPa), 50 min. on the urea-increting function of the liver and the urea-excreting function of the kidneys during liver resection (LR, 15-20% of the organ mass) was studied. HBO was used 4-8, 24 and 48 hours after LR. The studies were conducted on the 3rd day of the postoperative period. RP reduced the incretion of urea from the operated organ into the bloodstream, which was accompanied by a decrease in its excretion of urea from the body with urine. As a result, the concentration of urea in arterial blood remained within the normal range. At the same time, an increase in the concentration of urea in the blood of the portal vein was noted.

Bud rot, caused by Phytophthora sp., poses a significant threat to coconut palm production in tropical regions. This study evaluated the in vitro efficacy of the commercial fungicide Pilarzox (containing the active ingredients Cyazofamid and Cymoxanil) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) extract against Phytophthora isolates obtained from symptomatic coconut palms in St. Mary, Jamaica. Using the poisoned agar technique, three independent Phytophthora isolates were tested in five technical replicates across ten concentrations (0, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 500, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000 ppm).

A stroke is an ischemic injury of brain tissue, usually secondary to the occlusion of blood flow in any branch, collateral or main, of the central nervous system circulation. The signs and symptoms of a stroke depend on the affected territory. Beyond anti-ischemic treatment, the care of a stroke patient requires a thorough analysis of the various possible causes, with laboratory and imaging studies aimed at an etiological diagnosis based on each patient's characteristics and clinical history. Cerebrovascular events in a young, healthy patient are rare, and given their morbidity at early age, identifying their origin is essential.

Surgery has been part of the development of human knowledge, and its evolution has accompanied the social, economic, and cultural changes of history. The current technological revolution has enabled extraordinary advances that seemed impossible decades ago. Minimally invasive surgery has been associated with the use of robotic surgery, which is now part of the surgical arsenal, providing the surgeon with unparalleled precision and control during complex interventions. The use of artificial intelligence helps make better decisions, offering real-time predictive analysis during surgery.

Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a severe necrotizing infection characterized by gas formation within the renal parenchyma, typically affecting diabetic or immunocompromised patients. Its association with cystic renal tumors (Bosniak IV) is rare and complicates both diagnosis and management. We present a challenging case of EPN complicating a Bosniak IV cystic renal cell carcinoma, highlighting the interplay between infectious and oncologic priorities.

Malignant salivary gland neoplasms present a significant diagnostic challenge, requiring the integration of clinical, radiological, and pathological assessments. Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is a rare malignant neoplasm that exhibits a biphasic histopathological pattern. Although the major salivary glands are most commonly affected, EMC can also involve minor salivary glands and, in rare instances, the seromucous glands of the upper aerodigestive tract.
