Article Synopsis
- - Fetal liver calcifications (FLCs) are areas of increased echogenicity in the fetal liver, occurring in about 5-10 per 10,000 births, and while often associated with various health issues, isolated cases typically have a good prognosis.
- - The article discusses a case of a 29-year-old woman with a normal first-trimester screening who later showed FLCs during her 20-week scan without any other fetal problems.
- - After thorough monitoring and testing throughout her pregnancy, she delivered a healthy male baby, and subsequent evaluations confirmed his good health, highlighting the positive outcomes related to isolated FLCs.
Correction for 'Development and characterization of a novel poly(-isopropylacrylamide)-based thermoresponsive photoink and its applications in DLP bioprinting' by Kalindu D. C. Perera , , 2024, https://doi.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe field of 3-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has significantly expanded capabilities in producing precision-engineered hydrogel constructs, and recent years have seen the development of various stimuli-responsive bio- and photoinks. There is, however, a distinct lack of digital light processing (DLP)-compatible photoinks with thermoresponsivity. To remedy this, this work focuses on formulating and optimizing a versatile ink for DLP printing of thermoresponsive hydrogels, with numerous potential applications in tissue engineering, drug delivery, and adjacent biomedical fields.

- The UNC-5 family of netrin receptor genes is crucial for neuronal processes and is predominantly expressed in brain tissues.
- Mutations in these genes can lead to various human diseases, including developmental and neuropsychiatric disorders.
- In a patient with psychiatric disorders, two specific mutations in the UNC5C gene were identified, which disrupt key processes in axon development, linking this gene to psychiatric conditions for the first time.
Echogenic fetal bowel (EB) is a prenatal ultrasound finding (0.2%-1.4% of all pregnancies) defined as bowel of similar or greater echogenicity than surrounding bone.
