Introduction It is unknown how often patients with electrodiagnostic evidence of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), a potentially treatable condition, present distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSP) phenotype. Methods We reviewed the records who presented to our laboratory between January 1, 2011 December 31, 2019 and fulfilled criteria for CIDP identify those senso...

While it is often assumed that oncogenic processes in metazoans can influence species interactions, empirical evidence lacking. Here, we use the cnidarian Hydra oligactis to experimentally explore consequences of tumor associated phenotypic alterations for its predation ability, relationship with commensal ciliates and vulnerability predators. Unexpectedly, hydra's ability was higher tumorous p...
