A high titer antibody response against P22 protein immunocomplex is not correlated with protection in naturally tuberculosis-infected goats.

Caprine livestock are significant reservoirs of the complex (MTBC), contributing to tuberculosis (TB) transmission among animals and humans. The P22 protein immunocomplex (P22PI), derived from bovine tuberculin, shows immunostimulating capacity and is used for TB diagnosis. This study assessed the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of P22PI in two groups of goats: 24 naïve goats (12 immunised, 12 controls) from a TB-free herd, and 24 infected goats (12 immunised, 12 controls), referred to as pre-infected animals, from a -infected herd.

Perioperative Anesthetic Management and Outcome of a Cadaveric Pediatric En-bloc Kidney Transplantation: A Case Report.

Kidney transplantation stands as the favored approach to treat end-stage renal disease in children, offering enhanced survival, improved quality of life, and better neuropsychological development compared to dialysis. Transplanting kidneys en bloc remains a complex procedure, diverging from the conventional single kidney transplantation in several aspects, requiring precise skill and expertise to achieve favorable outcomes. In this paper, we report a successful en-bloc kidney transplantation from a 16-month-old pediatric cadaveric donor to a 5-year-old recipient, the youngest individual to undergo an en-bloc kidney transplant in the country, and the contribution of meticulous anesthetic management to this success story.

A multimodal treatment of basilar artery re-occlusion - case report.

Background: Stroke due to basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is a severe neurovascular condition with only recently proven effectiveness of mechanical thrombectomy as treatment. Early re-occlusion of the basilar artery (RE-BAO) is an even more challenging form of stroke to treat, associated with poor outcomes and still no optimal treatment guidelines. There are only a few reported cases covering this topic thus far.

Unlocking the key drivers of consumer purchase intentions for organic cosmetics: A study in Can Tho City, Vietnam.

This study's objective to evaluate Can Tho City's customer behavior with respect to organic cosmetics. The research was carried out utilizing a cross-sectional descriptive design and a collection of inquiries according to the theory of planned behavior (TPB), which evolved from the 5-point Likert scale. The survey was undertaken to interview 559 Can Tho City residents who use organic cosmetics, applying various interview questions to measure their behavior when considering the characteristics of the research subjects.

Effect of Lung Compliance-Based Optimum Pressure Versus Fixed Positive End-Expiratory Pressure on Lung Atelectasis Assessed by Modified Lung Ultrasound Score in Laparoscopic Gynecological Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background:  Lung protective ventilation during the intraoperative period is now well established. However, the additional role of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during the intraoperative period remains uncertain in major laparoscopic gynecological surgery. The authors hypothesized that compliance-based optimum PEEP titration reduces postoperative lung atelectasis and improves outcomes.
