Harmful effect of Urzene on human body is confirmed by many observations. Workers employed in the fur industry, where different types of Urzene are used for dyeing furs, have skin diseases in the form of eczema and respiratory tract diseases in the form of rhinitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis and asthma.

The fascia can be defined as a dynamic highly complex connective tissue network composed of different types of cells embedded in the extracellular matrix and nervous fibers: each component plays a specific role in the fascial system changing and responding to stimuli in different ways. This review intends to discuss the various components of the fascia and their specific roles; this will be carried out in the effort to shed light on the mechanisms by which they affect the entire network and all body systems. A clear understanding of fascial anatomy from a microscopic viewpoint can further elucidate its physiological and pathological characteristics and facilitate the identification of appropriate treatment strategies.

Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a well-known group of viruses in veterinary medicine. We currently know four genera of Coronavirus, alfa, beta, gamma, and delta. Wild, farmed, and pet animals are infected with CoVs belonging to all four genera. Seven human respiratory coronaviruses have still been identified, four of which cause upper-respiratory-tract diseases, specifically, the common cold, and the last three that have emerged cause severe acute respiratory syndromes, SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2. In this review we briefly describe animal coronaviruses and what we actually know about SARS-CoV-2 infection in farm and domestic animals.

IntroductionTo accomplish the peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, China has deployed a level 1+ (CHN L1+) medical treatment facility (MTF) as per the new memorandum. The aim of this study was to review and analyse the skin diseases managed by Chinese dermatological service so as to gain the latest prevalence of different types of skin diseases in this mission area.MethodsAll patients assessed and treated by the dermatological service of CHN L1+ MTF from January 2018 to May 2019 were included. A comparative analysis was made between this study and data published by other peacekeeping medical facilities.ResultsA total of 549 patients were included (87.4% men, with an average age of 35 years old), consisting of 399 military personnel and 150 civilians. Dermatitis and eczema (27.1%) were the most common category of skin diseases, followed by cutaneous mycoses (13.3%) and disorders of skin appendages (10.6%). Among these categories, unspecified dermatitis (9.3%), acne vulgaris (6.6%), tinea corporis (5.3%), folliculitis (5.1%) and tinea pedis (4.7%) were the top five most common reasons for dermatological consultation.ConclusionsTo get a clearer understanding of the disease-type profile in this mission area was beneficial for peacekeeping doctors to make more accurate diagnosis, as well as to prepare more comprehensive medicines during the predeployment period. As dermatological service was lacking in basic medical troops, we would recommend the use of telemedicine to promote dermatological consultations when a specialist was not deployed.

In addition to plasma the presence of subunit a of blood coagulation Factor XIII (FXIIl) has been verified in platelets and megakariocytes. Most recently, we demonstrated that human peripheral blood monocytes also contain FXIII subunit a. The present study was designed 1/ to determine the stage in the maturation sequence of bone marrow monocytopoesis in which FXIII appears 2/ to establish if FXIII is retained during differentiation into macrophages 3/ to assess how general is the presence of FXIII subunit a in different types of macrophages. FXIII subunit a was immunomorphologically detected in bone marrow smears, in cytospin preparations of cells from serous cavities (pleural, peritoneal, pericardial and synovial spaces), and paraformaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded or frozen sections of different organs where classical types of macrophages have been described earlier (liver, lung, thymus, skin, connective tissue, prostate and developing bone) . Cells containing FXIII subunit a were intensively characterized by immunofluorescent and enzymecytochemical techniques in double and treble labeling systems. Its presence was clearly demonstrated in promonocytes of bone marrow, and in all probability, it is present in monoblasts, as well. FXIII was also found in macrophages from different serous cavities and in embryonic osteoclasts. Cells containing FXIII subunit a of connective tissue were found to be tissue histiocytes, and not fibroblasts as previously thought. Kupffer cells of the liver and Langerhans cells of the epidermis were negative supporting theories that these cells are not members of monocyte-derived macrophage cell population. Immunomorphological detection of FXIII subunit a seems to be a useful marker for labeling the continuum of monocyte/macrophage cell line from the earliest ftrais in the bone marrow to the mature forms of macrophages and might be a valuable tool in the cytological diagnosis of malignant disorders of this cell line.

The excellent water solubility of hydrazine (N2H4) allows it to easily invade the human body through the skin and respiratory tract, thereby damaging human organs and the central nervous system.

Different types of folklore texts differ from each other by their function. We can distinguish between genres meant to be believed (like legend) and genres recognized in advance as fiction (fairy-tale). At the same time, textual fiction may also have served practical purposes—such as the telling of fairy-tales during the late autumn and early winter for purposes of fertility magic—as used to be the case in the Estonian folk tradition. There are folklore genres that have functioned, among other things, as an accompaniment, comment on, or support to rituals or practices being carried out—for instance, an incantation during a cure, or a lament in death-related procedures, when a person must be separated from his familiar environment. The same textual formulae fulfil different tasks in different genres, which means that they also carry a different meaning. The present paper considers some themes related to the bodily aspect of humanity in various genres of folklore, particularly in songs and laments, as well as in practices related to death and commemoration. As expected, the problems connected with the human body have in these genres undergone transformations of meaning, the understanding and interpretation of which may vary considerably. The mater­ial discussed in the article derives mainly from the Balto-Finnic and north Russian cultural area, partly from the author's own experience during his field trips.

Abstract COVID-19 is known to cause multi-organ dysfunction1-3 in acute infection, with prolonged symptoms experienced by some patients, termed Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC)4-5. However, the burden of infection outside the respiratory tract and time to viral clearance is not well characterized, particularly in the brain3,6-14. We performed complete autopsies on 44 patients with COVID-19 to map and quantify SARS-CoV-2 distribution, replication, and cell-type specificity across the human body, including brain, from acute infection through over seven months following symptom onset. We show that SARS-CoV-2 is widely distributed, even among patients who died with asymptomatic to mild COVID-19, and that virus replication is present in multiple extrapulmonary tissues early in infection. Further, we detected SARS-CoV-2 RNA in multiple anatomic sites, including regions throughout the brain, for up to 230 days following symptom onset. Despite extensive distribution of SARS-CoV-2 in the body, we observed a paucity of inflammation or direct viral cytopathology outside of the lungs. Our data prove that SARS-CoV-2 causes systemic infection and can persist in the body for months.
