Article Synopsis
- Helicobacteriosis is a bacterial infection affecting the stomach and small intestines, primarily spread through contaminated food or water.
- The infection is often contracted in childhood from close family members, with crowded living conditions increasing the risk of transmission.
- The review highlights detection challenges, especially in the dormant phase, and discusses advanced techniques for tracing bacteria, emphasizing the need for long-term studies to better understand transmission dynamics.
Galactocele is cystic dilatation of the mammary gland, which contains milk. Galactocele is usually presented as a painless breast enlargement with a fluctuant, soft, mobile, and non-tender mass in the breast. It is a rare disorder in the male pediatric age group, with only 31 cases reported in the literature.

Most of the current information is available through from either study with the limited number of patients or isolated case reports. We conducted an observational study of our PD-peritonitis database over the past 12 years to study the clinical profile and the outcomes of peritonitis episodes in our PD center.

The presentation can be asymptomatic or symptomatic in the form of pain, tenderness, or a lump. We present a case of a 50-day-old boy with SH-UDT syndrome.

Little is known about the efficacy and safety of peritoneal dialysis in patients with acute decompensated heart failure complicated by acute cardiorenal syndrome.
Methods: We randomly assigned a total of 88 patients with type 1 acute cardiorenal syndrome to a strategy of ultrafiltration therapy (44 patients) or tidal peritoneal dialysis (44 patients).
Gamma radiation radiotherapy is one of the widely used treatments for cancer. There is an accumulating evidence that adaptive immunity is significantly contributes to the efficacy of radiotherapy. This study is carried out to investigate the effect of gamma rays on the interplay between Th1/Th2 response, splenocyte lymphoproliferative response to polyclonal mitogenic activators and lymphocytic capacity to produce IL-12 and IL-10 in mice.

Aim: This study was carried out to show the effect of UV on both of the lymphoproliferative response and their capacity to produce IL-12 and IL-10 in mice.
Methods: Mice were exposed to whole body UVB and tested for the effect of recovery times on lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine production.
