Behavioral Changes in Crayfish after Daily Exposure to Blue LED Light.

Ambient light settings play a crucial role in the survival of organisms within their environments. This study investigates the impact of artificial light on crayfish behavior, particularly focusing on the effects of blue light. Crayfish, specifically Procambarus clarkii, which possess photoreceptors sensitive to a range of light wavelengths, were exposed to various lighting conditions: 590 nm (amber), 415 nm (blue),...

Rare presentation of ventricular arteriovenous malformation mimicking tumor lesion in a child: Systematic review and meta-analysis

Ventricular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare vascular anomalies characterized by abnormal connections between arteries and veins, bypassing the capillary system. These lesions pose significant diagnostic challenges, particularly when mimicking tumors in pediatric patients. This systematic review with meta-analysis aims to investigate the clinical presentation, diagnostic tools, and treatment outcomes for...
