Biofilm formation by the plant growth promoting bacterium Bacillus cereus (EB-40).

The objective of this work was to investigate the biofilm production capacity of the isolate EB-40 (Bacillus cereus) in a culture medium for the multiplication of microorganisms and in roots of in vitro grown banana explants. It was observed that the isolate was able to produce biofilms in tryptone, soy and agar (TSA) culture medium and in the roots of explants. The format, architecture and location of the biofilms in TSA culture medium presented an exopolymer matrix formed by EB-40 presented coccoid bacillary cells and fibrillar structures.

Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma in children and adolescents.

Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is an aggressive mature T-cell lymphoma characterized by significant hepatosplenomegaly, bone marrow involvement, and minimal or no lymphadenopathy. Primarily affecting young adults, it is exceptionally rare in children and adolescents. This makes diagnosis and treatment particularly challenging for pathologists and pediatric oncologists.

Targeted immunotherapy in the treatment of childhood and adolescent classic Hodgkin lymphoma.

Childhood and adolescent classic Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) has long been a model for how we balance improved outcomes with increased toxicities in pediatric cancer. The recognition that unacceptable short- and long-term toxicities come with increasing intensity of treatment has led to a decades-long attempt to better understand the patient-specific factors that dictate responses and outcomes. Targeted immunotherapy has emerged as a promising adjunct to cancer treatment; it has been shown to improve outcomes for poorly responding patients, to salvage relapsed disease, and more recently, to replace more toxic therapy modalities such as chemotherapy and radiation while maintaining excellent outcomes.

Liver Disease Complicating Familial Mediterranean Fever: A Study on 66 Patients Out of 533 Adult From the JIR Cohort.

Background: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common monogenic autoinflammatory disease, associated with MEFV mutations. FMF patients can experience liver involvement, potentially leading to cirrhosis.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate liver involvement in FMF patients at a French tertiary centre for adult FMF.

Heart Rate and its Variability From Short-Term ECG Recordings as Potential Biomarkers for Detecting Mild Cognitive Impairment.

Alterations in Heart Rate (HR) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) reflect autonomic dysfunction associated with neurodegeneration making them biomarkers suitable for detecting Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The study involves 297 urban Indian participants [48.48% (144) were male and 51.
