Synchronous tumours of gynaecological malignancies occur rarely and most these cases are represented by synchronous ovarian endometrial cancer. cervix ovary rare with poor prognosis. Only few cancer found in the literature as case reports. Here, we report a 63 year old patient who was diagnosed squamous cell carcinoma high grade serous which her clinical presentation, investigation intraoperati...

The tyraminergic/octopaminergic system is central for the control of arthropod oviposition. Previous works demonstrated that the pharmacological perturbation of this system inhibits oviposition in the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus. In this work, we describe a physiologically active whole-mount preparation of the contractile tick ovary that allows the quantitative videometrical analysis of...

Worker sterility is a defining characteristic of eusociality. The existence of the sterile worker caste remains a fundamental question for evolutionary biology as it requires the existence of genes that reduce personal reproduction. Currently, little is known about the proximate mechanisms underpinning worker sterility. Studies into a mutant "anarchistic" strain (in which workers can activate t...

BACKGROUND/AIMS According to previous observations, enhanced store-operated Ca2+-entry (SOCE) accomplished by the pore forming ion channel unit Orai1 and its regulator STIM1 contribute to therapy resistance of ovary carcinoma cells. Ca2+ signaling is further shaped by Ca2+ extrusion through K+-independent (NCX) and/or K+-dependent (NCKX) Na+/Ca2+-exchangers. The present study thus explored whet...
