BACKGROUND: A decade ago, the mixed reproductive strategy Asexual Queen Succession (AQS) was first described in termites. In AQS species, the workers, soldiers and dispersing reproductives are produced through sexual reproduction, while non-dispersing (neotenic) queens arise through automictic thelytokous parthenogenesis, replace the founding queen and mate with the founding king. As yet, AQS has been documented in six species from three lineages of lower (Rhinotermitidae) and higher (Termitinae: Termes group and Syntermitinae) termites. Independent evolution of the capacity of thelytoky as a preadaptation to AQS is supported by different mechanisms of automixis in each of the three clades. These pioneering discoveries prompt the question on the extent of thelytoky and AQS in the diversified family of higher termites. RESULTS: Here, we investigated the capacity of thelytoky and occurrence of AQS in three species from the phylogenetic proximity of the neotropical AQS species Cavitermes tuberosus (Termitinae: Termes group): Palmitermes impostor, Spinitermes trispinosus, and Inquilinitermes inquilinus. We show that queens of all three species are able to lay unfertilized eggs, which undergo thelytokous parthenogenesis (via gamete duplication as in C. tuberosus) and develop through the transitional stage of aspirants into replacement neotenic queens. CONCLUSIONS: The breeding system in P. impostor is very reminiscent of that described in C. tuberosus and can be characterized as AQS. In the remaining two species, our limited data do not allow classifying the breeding system as AQS; yet, also in these species the thelytokous production of neotenic females appears to be a systematic element of reproductive strategies. It appears likely that the capacity of thelytokous parthenogenesis evolved once in the Termes group, and may ultimately be found more widely, well beyond these Neotropical species.

Koronarografie patří k výkonům, které se provádějí v ambulantním provozu nebo v průběhu krátkodobého pobytu v nemocničním zařízení. Cílem naší práce byla identifikace nejčastějších ošetřovatelských oblastí v rámci krátkodobé hospitalizace a zmapování základní charakteristiky souboru ve vztahu k invazivním vstupům, provedeným vyšetřením a komorbiditám. Prostřednictvím retrospektivní analýzy zdravotnické dokumentace se zaměřením na ošetřovatelskou dokumentaci byla sumarizována data od 100 pacientů, kterým bylo provedeno koronarografické vyšetření. K významným faktorům, které mohou ovlivnit průběh hospitalizace, patřila kvalitní ošetřovatelská péče. Na základě charakteristiky pacientů bylo identifikováno několik oblastí, které považujeme pro všeobecné sestry a další nelékařské zdravotnické pracovníky za důležité.

Coronarography is a medical procedure, which can be performed ambulatory or during a short‑term hospitalisation. The goal of our study was the evaluation of the most common nursing procedures connected with a short‑term hospitalisation and description of the basic characteristics of the studied group of patients including the position of accession punctures, other medical procedures during the hospitalisation and patients‘ comorbidities. The data of 100 patients after a coronarography were summarised via the retrospective analysis of the medical documentation – with the focus on nursing care documentation of the patients. A good nursing care is one of the vital factors, which positively influence the hospitalisation of the patients after coronarography. Based on the characteristics of the studied group of patients, several specific areas of nursing care were evaluated as the very important not only for nurses, but for the nursing staff in general.

The Banff Working Group on Liver Allograft Pathology met in September 2022. Participants included hepatologists, surgeons, pathologists, immunologists, and histocompatibility specialists. Presentations and discussions focused on the evaluation of long-term allograft health, including noninvasive and tissue monitoring, immunosuppression optimization, and long-term structural changes. Potential revision of the rejection classification scheme to better accommodate and communicate late T cell-mediated rejection patterns and related structural changes, such as nodular regenerative hyperplasia, were discussed. Improved stratification of long-term maintenance immunosuppression to match the heterogeneity of patient settings will be central to improving long-term patient survival. Such personalized therapeutics are in turn contingent on a better understanding and monitoring of allograft status within a rational decision-making approach, likely to be facilitated in implementation with emerging decision-support tools. Proposed revisions to rejection classification emerging from the meeting include the incorporation of interface hepatitis and fibrosis staging. These will be opened to online testing, modified accordingly, and subject to consensus discussion leading up to the next Banff conference.

BACKGROUND: Left atrial surgical radiofrequency ablation represents an applicable and technically less demanding method for treating paroxysmal or permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) as a concomitant procedure. The aim of this study was to review the long-term outcomes of radiofrequency linear ablation for the treatment of AF limited to the left atrium in 3 groups of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

BACKGROUND: Early-onset group B Streptococcal disease (EOGBSD) is a serious but preventable neonatal infection. Maternal intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) does not prevent all cases of the disease. Management of asymptomatic neonates of GBS colonized mothers is problematic. AIMS: The objective of this prospective study was to determine whether administration of intramuscular penicillin at birth to a strictly defined group of term newborns of GBS colonized mothers is an effective and safe method to prevent EOGBSD. METHODS: A protocol for management of full-term infants born to GBS colonized mothers was created. Either an abnormality of blood count or presence of more than one obstetric risk factor were chosen as the indication criteria for administering postnatal antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP). RESULTS: The study sample consists of 250 newborns (11.5% of all term infants). PAP was administered in 39 cases. Indication criteria included leucocytosis in 37 cases, leucopenia in 1 case and obstetric risk factors in 1 case. There was no case of clinically manifest infection, and no case of sepsis either suspect or proven. CONCLUSIONS: The authors suggest that the strategy of selective PAP using penicillin, may be an effective and safe method in order to reduce morbidity and mortality from streptococcal infections. They recommend a combination of IAP and selective PAP.
