Intralesional Bleomycin for Orbital Venolymphatic Malformation.

This retrospective case series evaluates the use of intralesional bleomycin injections in treating orbital venolymphatic malformations (OVLM). Three patients, a 7-year-old girl, a 37-year-old woman, and a 56-year-old man, presented with OVLM where the first two were recurrent cases with a history of failed sclerotherapy. All patients received multiple doses of intralesional bleomycin injections, resulting in significant reductions in lesion size, decreased proptosis, and pain relief.

External Validation of SHAPE Score: A Score to Predict Low-Risk Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding in the Emergency Department.

Lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) frequently leads to emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations, encompassing a spectrum of outcomes from spontaneous resolution to intrahospital mortality. The purpose of this study was to validate a scoring system designed to identify cases of low-risk LGIB, allowing for safe discharge from the ED. A retrospective analysis of all gastrointestinal bleeding cases presented at three EDs in 2020 was conducted, focusing specifically on patients with LGIB.

The Balbiani body is formed by microtubule-controlled molecular condensation of Buc in early oogenesis.

Vertebrate oocyte polarity has been observed for two centuries and is essential for embryonic axis formation and germline specification, yet its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. In oocyte polarization, critical RNA-protein (RNP) granules delivered to the oocyte's vegetal pole are stored by the Balbiani body (Bb), a membraneless organelle conserved across species from insects to humans. However, the mechanisms of Bb formation are still unclear.

Impact of the Cooperative Health Insurance System in Saudi Arabia on Universal Health Coverage-A Systematic Literature Review.

Background: This systematic review assesses the role of the Cooperative Health Insurance System (CHIS) in achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) in Saudi Arabia's evolving healthcare system by consolidating and analyzing findings from diverse studies to provide a comprehensive overview of CHIS's impact and also identifies contextual challenges and practical insights that can inform similar reforms globally.

Methods: We report results following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The following six databases were searched for relevant studies: PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Business Source Complete, APA PsycINFO, and SocIndex.

Neonatal Pain Management: Is There An Endocrinal Response?

Neonates exhibit pain responses characterized by various endocrinal changes, including alterations in cortisone and oxytocin serum levels, as well as physiological and emotional reactions. The administration of neonatal pain management leads to the normalization of endocrine hormones, including cortisone and oxytocin, which are affected by the presence of neonatal pain. Diagnosing neonatal pain is complex; however, effective management is essential.
