We reported a case of a school-going child, diagnosed with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) who presented with symptoms such as high fever, acute hemiplegia and ataxia and was referred for physiotherapeutic intervention. This case report aims to document the assessment and management of ADEM from the intensive care unit to the home setting by physical therapy. Also, the child developed ventilator-associated pneumonia and a right lower motor neuron facial injury for which the child was referred to paediatric physical therapy. Since then, continuing for 8 months has helped the child to be independent in all aspects of mobility with no complaints. The child showed improvement in WeeFIM scores and Sunnybrook facial grading after 99 sessions of intensive physical therapy for approximately 83 hours along with the home programme. It has been proven an efficient treatment method along with other medical lines of treatment for neurological impairment associated with ADEM.

BACKGROUNDS: The use of drains in pancreatic surgery remains controversial. The present study investigated postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) without intraperitoneal drain placement.
METHODS: Data of consecutive patients undergoing MIDP between 2013 and 2023 were prospectively collected. Patients were divided in drain group (DG), including patients with prophylactic abdominal drain placed, and no-drain group (NDG) including those without drain. The groups were compared in terms of postoperative outcomes, using a propensity score-matched analysis.
RESULTS: 116 patients were selected. After matching, DG and NDG consisted of 29 patients each. The rates of POPF and abdominal collection were lower in NDG in comparison to DG (3.4% vs. 27.6%, p 0.025 and 3.4% vs. 31.0%, p 0.011, respectively). The length of stay was significantly shorter in the NDG (5 vs. 9 days, p < 0.001). No difference between the groups was found for other outcomes.
CONCLUSION: Drain omission was associated with lower rates of POPF and abdominal collections, as well as shorter hospital stays, not affecting the rate of severe complication, reoperation and readmission.
IMPORTANCE: Vasomotor symptoms (VMS) affect many postmenopausal persons and impact sleep and quality of life.
OBJECTIVE: This systematic review examines the literature describing the safety and efficacy of neurokinin-3 receptor antagonists approved and in development for postmenopausal persons with VMS.
EVIDENCE REVIEW: A search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts was conducted using the search terms and permutations of neurokinin-3 receptor antagonist, elinzanetant, fezolinetant, and osanetant. Inclusion criteria of reporting on efficacy or safety of fezolinetant, elinzanetant, or osanetant; studies in participants identifying as female; full record in English; and primary literature were applied. Abstract-only records were excluded. Extracted data were synthesized to allow comparison of reported study characteristics, efficacy outcomes, and safety events. Eligible records were evaluated for risk of bias via the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool for randomized studies and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system was used. This study was neither funded nor registered.
FINDINGS: The search returned 191 records; 186 were screened after deduplication. Inclusion criteria were met by six randomized controlled trials (RCT), four reported on fezolinetant, and two reported on elinzanetant. One record was a post hoc analysis of a fezolinetant RCT. An additional study was identified outside the database search. Three fezolinetant RCT demonstrated a reduction in VMS frequency/severity, improvement in Menopause-Specific Quality of Life scores, and improvement in sleep quality at weeks 4 and 12 compared with placebo without serious adverse events. The two RCT on elinzanetant also showed improvements in VMS frequency and severity. All eight records evaluated safety through treatment-emergent adverse events; the most common adverse events were COVID-19, headache, somnolence, and gastrointestinal. Each record evaluated had a low risk of bias. There is a strong certainty of evidence as per the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Because of the high-quality evidence supporting the efficacy of fezolinetant and elinzanetant, these agents may be an effective option with mild adverse events for women seeking nonhormone treatment of VMS.

The invention relates to multi-stable valves and methods for their use. The multi-stable valves may include a movable physical stop and a position arm. The physical stop may be placed in the path of the arm effectively locking the valve in at least one position upon deactivation of the valve's motivating forces. The valve may be, for example, a micro valve or a microelectromechanical device. Such a valve may be used in implantable drug infusion applications and other applications having limitations on available energy. In one exemplary embodiment, the valve comprises a membrane separating two channels. The membrane may be lifted by activation of a piezo material, opening the channels for fluid flow. A physical stop may be moved into place and the piezo material deactivated, bringing to rest the arm on the physical stop. In this manner, the valve is stabilized in the open position without requiring continuous supply of energy.
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE        A method of treating humans suffering from central nervous system diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, cerebral atrophy, Parkinson's disease, senile dementia, senile tremor, essential tremor, multiple schlerosis, cerebovascular accidents, and cerebellar atrophy, as well as diseases where dementia is present.          The treatment consists of inducing into the patient's blood stream at least one from the group consisting of: sex hormones and anabolic hormones. (HGH, NCG, trophobostic hormone). Ergolid myselates, dopamine, cathecoline, serotonin, amphetamine may be used in conjunction with the hormone, as well as a vasodilator and non-steroid anti-inflammatory. Growth hormone may also be used in those patients in advanced stages of the disease, or in those patients where it has been determined that a low level o growth hormone is present, clinical deterioration not having been corrected by other hormones.        A method of diagnosing Alzheimer's disease, senile dementia, by the determination of the levels of the hormones somatotropin  (human growth hormone) and somatomedin-C (IGF-I) after the administration of the Aroonsakul-Allen provocative test. Blood-sera samples are taken every thirty minutes for a two hour period after the administration of L-Dopa, and the samples are tested for the levels of these hormones. These levels are then compared against the levels for normal subjects in the age group of between fifty years and sixty years. If the levels of the patient being diagnosed falls below the statistical mean corrected for error, then a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is indicated what is equivalent to severe HGH deficiency, mild and moderate, HGH deficiency indicating senile dementia in early and late stage.

The impact of stroke on global health is profound, with both high mortality and morbidity rates. This condition can result from cerebral ischemia, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The pathophysiology of stroke involves secondary damage and irreversible loss of neuronal function. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been recognized as crucial regulatory mechanisms in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke-induced brain injury. These PTMs include phosphorylation, glycosylation, ubiquitination, SUMOylation, acetylation, and succinylation. This comprehensive review delves into recent research on the PTMs landscape associated with neuroinflammation and neuronal death specific to cerebral ischemia, ICH, and SAH. This review aims to explain the role of PTMs in regulating pathologic mechanisms and present critical techniques and proteomic strategies for identifying PTMs. This knowledge helps us comprehend the underlying mechanisms of stroke injury and repair processes, leading to the development of innovative treatment strategies. Importantly, this review underscores the significance of exploring PTMs to understand the pathophysiology of stroke.

BACKGROUND: Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) is a rare immunodeficiency disorder characterized by impaired phagocytic function, leading to recurrent infections and granuloma formation. Genetic mutations in NADPH oxidase complex components, such as CYBB, NCF1, NCF2, and CYBA genes, contribute to the pathogenesis. This case report explores the possible ocular and hematologic complications associated with CGD.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 6-year-old girl with a history of vitrectomy, membranotomy, and laser therapy due to congenital blindness (diagnosed with chorioretinopathy) was referred to the hospital with generalized ecchymosis and thrombocytopenia. Diagnostic workup initially suggested chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Subsequent admissions revealed necrotic wounds, urinary tract infections, and recurrent thrombocytopenia. Suspecting immunodeficiency, tests for CGD, Nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) and dihydrorhodamine (DHR) were performed. She had a low DHR (6.7), and her NBT test was negative (0.0%). Her whole exome sequencing results confirmed autosomal recessive CGD with a homozygous NCF1 mutation.
CONCLUSION: This case underscores the diverse clinical manifestations of CGD, including recurrent thrombocytopenia and possible early-onset ocular involvement. The diagnostic challenges highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving hematologists, immunologists, and ophthalmologists for accurate diagnosis and management. The rare coexistence of ITP in CGD emphasizes the intricate link between immunodeficiency and autoimmunity, requiring tailored therapeutic strategies.
To develop a universal and long-lasting influenza or other pathogens vaccine has been a mission impossible goal in the life science and health field. Applicants disclose, herein, vaccines prepared against SARS-COV-2, an influenza A strain vaccine prepared from a 1934 influenza virus (A/PR/8/34 H1N1, Puerto Roca, 1934), and an influenza B strain vaccine prepared from a 1940 influenza virus. The disclosed vaccine induces production of broadly neutralizing antibodies in mice. The presently disclosed vaccine is able to inhibit two other influenza A strains: a 2009 influenza H1N1 virus collected from Los Angeles (A/California/07/2009) and a 2014 influenza H3N2 virus collected from Hong Kong (A/Hongkong/4801/2014). Applicants also describe an influenza B strain vaccine prepared from a B strain virus from a 1940 patient in USA (B/L11/40). The B strain vaccine also produced broadly neutralizing antibodies, in this case against a B strain from Colorado 2017 (B/Colorado/2017). Applicant's methods and compositions are not only useful in creating influenza vaccines with broad activity against other influenza subtypes but also be efficient to generate long-lasting SARS-CoV-2 vaccines against emerging new variants either through recombined protein antigens from SARS-CoV-2 or inactivated SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The plant health status is determined by the interplay of plant-pathogen-microbiota in the rhizosphere. Here, we investigate this tripartite system focusing on the pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (FOL) and tomato plants as a model system. First, we explore differences in tomato genotype resistance to FOL potentially associated with the differential recruitment of plant-protective rhizosphere taxa. Second, we show the production of fusaric acid by FOL to trigger systemic changes in the rhizosphere microbiota. Specifically, we show this molecule to have opposite effects on the recruitment of rhizosphere disease-suppressive taxa in the resistant and susceptible genotypes. Last, we elucidate that FOL and fusaric acid induce changes in the tomato root exudation with direct effects on the recruitment of specific disease-suppressive taxa. Our study unravels a mechanism mediating plant rhizosphere assembly and disease suppression by integrating plant physiological responses to microbial-mediated mechanisms in the rhizosphere.
BACKGROUND: Pancreatic solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) are rare clinical entity, with low malignancy and still unclear pathogenesis. They account for less than 2% of exocrine pancreatic neoplasms. This study aimed to perform a systematic review of the main clinical, surgical and oncological characteristics of pancreatic SPTs.
DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases were systematically searched for the main clinical, surgical and oncological characteristics of pancreatic SPTs up to April 2021, in accordance with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) standards. Primary endpoints were to analyze treatments and oncological outcomes.
RESULTS: A total of 823 studies were recorded, 86 studies underwent full-text reviews and 28 met inclusion criteria. Overall, 1384 patients underwent pancreatic surgery. Mean age was 30 years and 1181 patients (85.3%) were female. The most common clinical presentation was non-specific abdominal pain (52.6% of cases). Mean overall survival was 98.1%. Mean recurrence rate was 2.8%. Mean follow-up was 4.2 years.
CONCLUSIONS: Pancreatic SPTs are rare, and predominantly affect young women with unclear pathogenesis. Radical resection is the gold standard of treatment achieving good oncological impact and a favorable prognosis in a yearly life-long follow-up.
Hepatolithiasis (HL), an uncommon disease among Indians, occurs due to a complex interplay of various structural and functional factors. We retrospectively evaluated the clinical and histopathological spectrum of HL (N = 19) with immunohistochemical evaluation for biliary apomucins and canalicular transporter proteins, both crucial for lithogenesis. Nineteen surgically resected cases were included. Histopathology was systematically evaluated. Immunohistochemistry for apomucins (MUC1, MUC2, MUC4, MUC5AC, and MUC6) and canalicular transporter proteins (BSEP and MDR3) was applied to all cases. The median age was 51 years with female preponderance (F:M = 1.4:1). The stone was cholesterol-rich in 71.4% and pigmented in 28.6% (n = 14). Histopathology showed variable large bile-duct thickening due to fibrosis and inflammation with peribiliary gland hyperplasia. Structural causes (Caroli disease, choledochal cyst, and post-surgical complication) were noted in 15.8% of cases (secondary HL). Expression of gel-forming apomucin MUC1, MUC2, and MUC5AC was seen in either bile duct epithelia or peribiliary glands in 84.2%, 10.5%, and 84.2% cases respectively. Loss of canalicular expression of MDR3 was noted in 42.1% of cases while BSEP was retained in all. Primary HL in the north Indian population can be associated with the loss of MDR3 expression (with retained BSEP) and/ or a shift in the phenotype of biliary apomucins to gel-forming apomucins. The former factor alters the bile acid/ phospholipid ratio while the latter parameter promulgates crystallization. In conjunction, these factors are responsible for the dominantly cholesterol-rich stones in the index population.
