Encapsulation of in Electrospun Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) Fibers Coated with Cellulose Derivatives for Sustainable Agricultural Applications.

One of the latest trends in sustainable agriculture is the use of beneficial microorganisms to stimulate plant growth and biologically control phytopathogens. , a Gram-positive soil bacterium, is recognized for its valuable properties in various biotechnological and agricultural applications. This study presents, for the first time, the successful encapsulation of within electrospun poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) fibers, which are dip-coated with cellulose derivatives.

DIAGNOSTIC YIELD OF AN INHERITED RETINAL DISEASE GENE PANEL IN RETINOPATHY OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN.

Purpose: Evaluating the presence of class 3, 4, and 5 genetic variants in inherited retinal disease (IRD) genes in patients with retinopathy of unknown origin (RUO).

Methods: Multicentric retrospective study of RUO cases diagnosed between January 2012 and February 2022. General and ophthalmologic history, complete ophthalmologic examination, antiretinal antibodies, and IRD gene panel results were analyzed in every patient.

Unilateral Melanoma-Associated Retinopathy Case Report.

In this report, we present a case of unilateral melanoma-associated retinopathy in a 72-year-old woman. The patient's main symptoms were decreased vision and positive dysphotopsia. Unilateral electronegative electroretinogram (ERG) was suggestive for melanoma retinopathy.

Laparoscopic splenectomy for solitary splenic hydatid cyst: Case report.

Hydatid cyst disease is a parasitic disease caused by a type of tapeworm called Echinococcus. It is endemic to cattle-rearing regions of Africa, Asia, South Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East and Australia. The most common site of infection is the liver (75%).

Clinical Utility of F-FDG PET/CT in the Work-up of Children with Uveitis.

Purpose: To evaluate F-fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/ultra low dose Computed Tomography (F-FDG PET/ ULD CT) in the work-up of pediatric uveitis.

Methods: Retrospective study of 12 children followed for uveitis who underwent whole body F-FDG PET/ULD CT between 2011 and 2019.

Results: The average age of the patients was 11 years.

Unilateral cancer-associated retinopathy: diagnosis, serology and treatment.

Purpose: To report a case of unilateral cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR) with clinical, serological and electroretinogram (ERG) normalization after aggressive cancer treatment combined with steroids and rituximab.

Methods: Work-up included extensive clinical and electrophysiological testing. Also, serological work-up for antiretinal antibodies and oncological screening was organized.

Effect of SOCS1 overexpression on RPE cell activation by proinflammatory cytokines.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the in vitro effect of Suppressor Of Cytokine Signaling 1 (SOCS1) overexpression in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells on their activation by pro-inflammatory cytokines IFNγ, TNFα and IL-17. Retinal pigment epithelium cells (ARPE-19) were stably transfected with the control plasmid pIRES2-AcGFP1 or the plasmid pSOCS1-IRES2-AcGFP1. They were stimulated by IFNγ (150ng/ml), TNFα (30ng/ml) or IL-17 (100ng/ml).

Severe bilateral panuveitis during melanoma treatment by Dabrafenib and Trametinib.

Background: We report a case of severe bilateral panuveitis during melanoma therapy with a combination of Dabrafenib, a B-raf (BRAF) inhibitor, and Trametinib, a mitogen/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK) inhibitor. Both of these drugs are effectors in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, which plays an important role in the physiopathology of melanoma. Dabrafenib and Trametinib have shown improved survival of patients with metastatic melanoma but they have also been associated with the development of uveitis.
