Infantile Aggressive Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of the Proximal Femur: A Rare Clinical Presentation.

Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are aggressive, osteolytic lesions usually seen in childhood and young adulthood. The patient's age, location, and behavior of the lesion in the bone may cause patients to present with different clinical findings. Appropriate treatment of these rare, aggressive bone lesions is essential for recurrence.

Emergency department mental health presentations in young children: a retrospective chart review.

Aim: To characterise key features of young people presenting to the emergency department (ED) with a mental health complaint when comparing children (aged 7 to 12 years) and teenagers (13 years and greater).

Methods: Retrospective review of all ED mental health presentations in children aged 7-17 years presenting over a 12-month period in 2018 to a tertiary children's hospital in Victoria, Australia. Univariate analyses were carried out to examine the relationship between children and teenagers and a number of key presentation variables.

Availability, price and nutritional assessment of plant-based meat alternatives in hypermarkets and supermarkets in Petaling, the most populated district in Malaysia.

Unlabelled: The present study aimed to investigate the production of yoghurt in which the parts of the L. and its gum were added to milk at levels of 3% (v/v), incubated until the pH value reached 4.7 at 42 °C and then stored at 4 °C for 21 days.

The influence of exposure to inorganic arsenic and other arsenic species on early renal impairment among young adults in Taiwan.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a significant global public health challenge, with environmental toxins potentially contributing to its prevalence. In Taiwan, where arsenic (As) contamination is endemic in certain areas, assessing its impact on renal health is crucial due to the country's high rates of unexplained CKD. This cross-sectional study assessed associations between urinary As species and early renal impairment biomarkers-the microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) and β2-microglobulin (B2MG)-in 248 young Taiwanese adults (aged 20-29 years).

Isolates of species in the marine environment in the Philippines.

spp. are considered the most commonly occurring free-living amoebae (FLA) in the environment. Their high resilience enables them to thrive in different types of environments.

Functional Polymorphisms Regulate FOXO1 Transcript Expression and Contribute to the Risk and Symptom Severity of HDM-Induced Allergic Rhinitis.

Introduction: FOXO1 plays an important role in regulating immune processes that contribute to allergic inflammation; however, genetic variants influencing FOXO1 expression in AR pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the functional effect of FOXO1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on AR development by performing genetic association and functional analysis studies.

Methods: This study belongs to a part of an ongoing Singapore/Malaysia cross-sectional genetics and epidemiological study (SMCSGES).

Association of frequent intake of trans fatty acids and saturated fatty acids in diets with increased susceptibility of atopic dermatitis exacerbation in young Chinese adults: A cross-sectional study in Singapore/Malaysia.

Background & Objective: Numerous evidence has attributed diets with a high fatty acids (FAs) intake to be associated with atopic dermatitis (AD) development. Therefore, this study investigated the association between intake frequencies of five dietary FAs and AD exacerbations among young Chinese adults from Singapore and Malaysia.

Methods: A validated International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire was investigator-administered to 13,561 subjects to collect information on socioeconomic, anthropometric, dietary and lifestyles habits, and personal/family medical histories.

Molecular docking analysis of some medicinal extracts for pro-apoptotic, antiinflammatory and antioxidative activities using HCC cell lines.

We investigated the biological activities of 14 medicinal plants from Saudi Arabia as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-proliferative properties using hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines. Hexane extracts exhibited the maximum inhibitory activities against albumin denaturation compared with those of other solvents. hexane extract showed the highest anti-inflammatory while methanol extract showed significantly high hydroxyl radical scavenging activity ( < 0.

Enhanced enchondroma detection from x-ray images using deep learning: A step towards accurate and cost-effective diagnosis.

This study investigates the automated detection of enchondromas, benign cartilage tumors, from x-ray images using deep learning techniques. Enchondromas pose diagnostic challenges due to their potential for malignant transformation and overlapping radiographic features with other conditions. Leveraging a data set comprising 1645 x-ray images from 1173 patients, a deep-learning model implemented with Detectron2 achieved an accuracy of 0.

The neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric manifestations of Susac syndrome: a brief review of the literature and future directions.

Encephalopathy is part of the clinical triad of Susac syndrome, but a detailed understanding of the neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric profile of this condition is lacking. Existing literature indicates that cognitive deficits range in severity from subtle to profound. Executive function and short-term recall are affected frequently.

World Health Organization Enhanced Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme, Cambodia, 2023.

To determine antimicrobial susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, we analyzed phenotypes and genomes of 72 isolates collected in Cambodia in 2023. Of those, 9/72 (12.5%) were extensively drug resistant, a 3-fold increase from 2022.

High-dose vancomycin spacers provided early recovery without nephrotoxicity compared with standard-dose in MRSA-induced periprosthetic joint infection model of rats.

Background: Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are commonly treated with two-stage revision surgery utilising antibiotic-loaded spacers; however, antibiotic release from spacers is limited and usually drops below effective levels a few days after placement. This study compared high-dose and standard-dose vancomycin-loaded spacers in terms of efficacy, safety, and overall treatment duration in a rat periprosthetic joint infection model.

Methods: Thirty male Wistar albino rats (8-10 weeks old, 300-320 g) were housed individually at standard conditions.

BioMEA powders consisting of Ti, Nb, Zr, and Mo were mechanically alloyed for 100 h and subsequently added to HA using powder metallurgy techniques.

P-gp inhibition and enhanced oral bioavailability of amikacin Sulfate: A novel approach using Thiolated Chito-PEGylated Lipidic Hybrids.

This study aimed to develop oral lipidic hybrids of amikacin sulfate (AMK), incorporating thiolated chitosan as a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor to enhance intestinal absorptivity and bioavailability. Three formulations were designed: PEGylated Liposomes, Chitosan-functionalized PEGylated (Chito-PEGylated) Lipidic Hybrids, and Thiolated Chito-PEGylated Lipidic Hybrids. The physical characteristics of nanovesicles were assessed.

Exploring the Use and Implications of AI in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force across the health sector and has garnered significant attention within sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) due to polarizing views on its opportunities to advance care and the heightened risks and implications it brings to people's well-being and bodily autonomy. As the fields of AI and SRHR evolve, clarity is needed to bridge our understanding of how AI is being used within this historically politicized health area and raise visibility on the critical issues that can facilitate its responsible and meaningful use.

Objective: This paper presents the protocol for a scoping review to synthesize empirical studies that focus on the intersection of AI and SRHR.
