Background: Albumin, a vital component in regulating human blood oncotic pressure, plays an important role in the prediction of prognosis in pediatric patients.Previous research identified significant differences in serum albumin levels of healthy and critically ill children.
Methods: The present study aims to investigate the correlation between albumin levels measured during pediatric intensive care unit(PICU) admission and clinical outcomes.
The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of thymoquinone in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by examining the effects of various doses of thymoquinone on histopathological changes, oxidative stress, and antioxidant markers in basic stamens in a 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis model in rats. Thirty-two rats were divided into four groups: control, TNBS, thymoquinone-20 (20 mg/kg), and thymoquinone-50 (50 mg/kg) groups. The basic stamens of 32 rats were used for this experiment.

- A new tick species named Ixodes algericus n. sp. has been identified in Algeria, specifically from rodents of the Muridae family.
- The females of this species have distinct physical traits, such as the absence of a genital apron and specific measurements of auriculae and coxae, which help differentiate it from other Ixodes ticks.
- Both nymphs and larvae of Ixodes algericus can be recognized by unique features like scutum shape and the number of setae, distinguishing them from closely related species in the same area.
Four Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains newly isolated and identified from human breast milk in Türkiye, have probiotic, functional and proliferative inhibition potential of metabolites against colon cancer cell lines were evaluated. In simulated gastric and intestinal media, all strains exhibited strong probiotic character by showing resistance, although decreasing with time and concentration. The strains were sensitive to penicillin G, rifampin and chloramphenicol and showed antibacterial effect on all pathogenic bacteria.
