Infant With Beckwith-Wiedemann Requiring Transplant for Hepatic Mesenchymal Hamartoma.

Background: Liver transplantation for unresectable, benign hepatic lesions is rare. Hepatic mesenchymal hamartomas (HMH) are benign, cystic tumors that arise mostly in pediatric populations and can cause compressive symptoms. HMH is rarely associated with placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS).

Breastfeeding support as predictors of sustainable breastfeeding practices of nursing mothers with common mental disorders in tertiary hospital nurseries in Nigeria: a cross sectional study.

Background: The postpartum period is associated with an increased risk of maternal mental disorders. The combined effect of having the mother's infant admitted to a tertiary hospital in a low-resource setting and the need to exclusively breastfeed the infant may exaggerate this risk. This study aimed to determine the breastfeeding support provided to mothers whose infants were hospitalised in Nigerian tertiary hospital nurseries and the prevalence of common mental health disorders among this population.

Determinants of mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus among pregnant women in southwestern Nigeria.

Introduction: hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a serious public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa and a common cause of liver disease globally. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence and the rate of mother-to-child transmission of HBV after the age of viability.

Methods: the study was a cross-sectional study that involved 543 eligible consenting pregnant women and newborns of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive mothers.

DNA Catalysis: Design, Function, and Optimization.

Catalytic DNA has gained significant attention in recent decades as a highly efficient and tunable catalyst, thanks to its flexible structures, exceptional specificity, and ease of optimization. Despite being composed of just four monomers, DNA's complex conformational intricacies enable a wide range of nuanced functions, including scaffolding, electrocatalysis, enantioselectivity, and mechano-electro spin coupling. DNA catalysts, ranging from traditional DNAzymes to innovative DNAzyme hybrids, highlight the remarkable potential of DNA in catalysis.

Solid waste dumpsite leachate and contiguous surface water contain multidrug-resistant ESBL-producing Escherichia coli carrying Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL) genes.

Dumpsites generate leachates containing bacteria that may carry antibiotic resistance genes, such as extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL). However, the contribution of dumpsite leachates in the environmental spread of ESBL genes has not been investigated in greater detail. This study aimed to quantify the impact of Ajakanga dumpsite leachate on the spread of ESBL genes through surface water.
