    Abstract As a consequence of the lockdown measures imposed by the Belgian government to fight against COVID-19, migrant live-in elderly carers had to choose between safeguarding their job - at the detriment of their personal freedom, their health and their working conditions - and safeguarding their freedom but losing their job - at the detriment of their economic survival and that of their families. This article explores this dilemma from an intersectionality perspective. In order to understand their experience in times of COVID-19 and their response to this dilemma, I analyse their position as women, as migrants, as elderly care workers, as family breadwinners and as 'quasi-family members' in the families of their employer - which correspond to five interlocking systems of oppression.

    Abstract In close quarters the farm animals’ urine and faeces can combine to create ammonia Cows are being potty trained to help reduce the ammonia emissions produced by their waste. Scientists have discovered calves can learn how to use a toilet quicker than very young children and it’s hoped it will help cut down air pollution and create more animal-friendly farms.

    Abstract Speech restoration after total laryngectomy may be achieved in different ways, the gold standard being tracheoesophageal puncture (TPE) with the positioning of a speech prosthesis. TPE is not immune to complications, the most common of which being leakage through or around the prosthesis. When dealing with an enlarged tracheoesophageal fistula, the management can be either conservative or surgical. In the following case report, we present a particularly challenging case, in which every conservative strategies failed and a major surgery was required to close the fistula.

    Abstract The recognition of abuse and/or neglect still represents a challenge for both clinicians and forensic pathologists. Whereas abusive behaviors have been largely described among pediatric and elderly populations, adults' abuse and neglect is less frequently encountered, and therefore investigated. We report a case of a middle-aged woman without any known organic or psychiatric disorders who died of a multiple organ failure (MOF) due to extreme cachexia and bed-resting syndrome. The integration of all clinical, autopsy and histopathological data highlighted a picture of severe malnutrition, restraint, and widespread traumatic injuries related to abuse and neglect. We believe that the case here presented could be useful for both clinicians and forensic pathologists as it underlines once again the importance of collecting and integrating all medical evidence (both in the ante- and post-mortem settings) for reconstructing the most probable pathophysiology of disorders and injuries, comparing that reconstruction with the allegations of the caregivers, and thus identifying any potential abuse and/or neglect behaviors.

    Abstract Oxidative stress is a pathological condition characterized by an overload of oxidant products, named free radicals, which are not well counteracted by antioxidant systems. Free radicals induce oxidative damage to many body organs and systems. In neonatal red blood cells, free-radical mediated-oxidative stress leads to eryptosis, a suicidal death process of erythrocytes consequent to alteration of cell integrity. Neonatal red blood cells are targets and at the same time generators of free radicals through the Fenton and Haber-Weiss reactions. Enhanced eryptosis in case of oxidative stress damage may cause anemia if the increased loss of erythrocytes is not enough compensated by enhanced new erythrocytes synthesis. The oxidative disruption of the red cells may cause unconjugated idiopathic hyperbilirubinemia in neonates. High levels of bilirubin are recognized to be dangerous for the central nervous system in newborns, however, many studies have highlighted the antioxidant function of bilirubin. Recently, it has been suggested that physiologic concentration of bilirubin correlates with higher antioxidant status while high pathological bilirubin levels are associated with pro-oxidants effects. The aim of this educational review is to provide an updated understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying erythrocyte oxidant injury and its reversal in neonatal idiopathic hyperbilirubinemia.

    Abstract Nowadays, many patients facing head and neck oncological surgery have a history of tissue irradiation. This represents an important risk factor for postsurgical complications, including dehiscences and fistulas. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) obtained from the patient's blood represents an easy, fast and inexpensive method for the prevention and treatment of such complications. We present three cases of previously irradiated patients in which PRP was successfully used to prevent and treat postsurgical complications.
