Article Synopsis
- Lipopolysaccharides trigger inflammatory responses that can lead to acute renal injury, with TNF-α and IL-6 being key proinflammatory cytokines involved.
- This study tested the effects of the anti-inflammatory drug adalimumab by administering it in various groups of rats, including a control group, a group treated with adalimumab alone, a group given lipopolysaccharides, and a group treated with adalimumab before exposure to lipopolysaccharides.
- Results showed that adalimumab pretreatment reduced the pathological damages and levels of TNF-α and IL-6 associated with lipopolysaccharide-induced kidney injury, suggesting it could serve as a protective agent against such
Background: Neonatal feces are one of the most important sources for probiotic isolation. The purpose of this study was the isolation and identification of Bifidobacterium spp. from neonatal feces and the evaluation of in vitro probiotic properties of strains including safety tests.

This study aimed to monitor intracranial pressure during migraine attack to understand the possible relations with disease and severity.
Methods: A prospective randomized study was designed.
Objective: This study aimed to analyse clinical and radiological features (phenotypes) to predict revision risk after functional endoscopic sinus surgery in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.
Method: Phenotype characteristics of the patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery were analysed retrospectively.
Results: The rates of asthma, aspirin sensitivity, smoking and a positive prick test result were significantly higher in revision functional endoscopic sinus surgery cases ( < 0.
