CircNIPBLL modulates the inflammatory response against Eimeria tenella infection via sponging gga-miR-2954.

Coccidiosis, a parasitic disease caused by Eimeria protozoa that parasitizes intestinal tissues of chicken, poses a challenge to the development of the poultry industry. circRNAs are a class of circular RNA macromolecules crucial in the immune response to pathogens. Previous studies have shown that gga-miR-2954 inhibits the inflammatory response to Eimeria tenella (E.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in Birds: Opportunities and Challenges for Science and Agriculture.

The only cells in an organism that could do any other sort of cell until 2006 (except sperm or egg) were known as embryonic stem cells, ESC [...

A multi-phase structured cascade model for mass training of community healthcare workers in performing clinical breast exams in remote regions.

Background: Clinical breast exam (CBE) by outreach healthcare workers (HCW) may help downstage breast cancer in resource-limited areas where mammography may not be feasible. We evaluated the effectiveness of a pilot cascade-model training programme for HCWs in remote areas of Pakistan.

Methods: The training programme comprised three phases.

Clinical and genetic characteristics of 40 patients with nonmuscle myosin heavy chain 9-related disease (MYH9-RD) misdiagnosed as immune thrombocytopenia: a retrospective analysis in China.

Background: Myosin heavy chain 9-related diseases (MYH9-RDs) are rare autosomal dominant platelet disorders characterized by macrothrombocytopenia and leukocyte inclusion bodies. They can manifest with nonhematological complications, including deafness, nephropathy, or cataracts. Due to its rarity and its similar clinical presentation with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), MYH9-RD is often misdiagnosed as ITP, leading to inappropriate treatment and delayed management of complications.

WALANT vs standard anaesthesia in the management of flexor tendon injuries: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Wide awake local anaesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) surgery has gained increasing popularity in recent years for hand surgery fast-tracked by the COVID pandemic. It involves infiltration of lidocaine with adrenaline to the operative region ensuring a good visual field owing to the vasoconstrictive effects of epinephrine. It has numerous advantages over traditional anaesthetic (TA) for flexor tendon repairs including testing of tendon strength on table as well as immediate revision of the repair if needed.
