Association between eosinophilia and lymphocytosis with functional outcomes of patients with Hirschsprung disease following transabdominal Yancey-Soave pull-through.

Introduction: Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a disorder caused by the failure of neural crest migration leading to an aganglionic colon and functional obstruction. Transabdominal Yancey-Soave pull-through is one of the definitive therapies for this condition. Prognostic factors, including sex, aganglionosis type, age at definitive surgery, nutritional status, eosinophilia and lymphocytosis, might influence the outcomes of the pull-through.

Carrageenan functional film integrated with Pickering Emulsion of Oregano Oil Stabilized by Cationic Nanocellulose for Active Packaging.

Consumers are worried about potential contaminants, especially during any pandemic event, and are demanding more biodegradable food packaging with little to no chemical preservatives. This study aims to prepare carrageenan film containing essential oil with antibacterial properties. Oregano essential oil is successfully added into the carrageenan-based film using the Pickering emulsion method with cationic nanocellulose as stabilizer.
