Purpose: Neurodevelopmental disorders (ND) have been recognized as the most common and potentially most disabling outcome of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Our aim was to evaluate the incidence of ND in patients with a history of CDH referred for ND assessment on the basis of clinically relevant symptoms rather than through a screening process.

Methods: The study was a nationwide, population-based prospective nested case-control study within a cohort of newborn children who survived the newborn period in Sweden during the observational period from 1st January 1982 until 31st December 2015.

The endogenous stress metabolite β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) primes plants for enhanced resistance against abiotic and biotic stress by activating a complex phytohormone signaling network that includes abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA), and ethylene (ET). In this study, through stringent filtering, we identify 14 master regulatory transcription factors (TFs) from the DOF, AHL, and ERF families that potentially regulate the biosynthesis and signaling of these phytohormones. Transcriptional analysis of BABA-treated and suggests that DOF family TFs play a crucial role in stress response regulation in both species.

Plant immunological memory, priming, is a defense mechanism that can be triggered by external stimuli, leading to the activation of biochemical pathways and preparing plants for disease resistance. Plant conditioners improve yield and crop quality through nutrient efficiency and abiotic stress tolerance, which is enhanced by the addition of resistance- and priming-induced compounds. Based on this hypothesis, this study aimed to investigate plant responses to priming actives of different natures, including salicylic acid and beta-aminobutyric acid, in combination with the plant conditioning agent ELICE Vakcina.

Since its first clinical application in 1984, the endoscopic subureteral injection of bulking agents has become an alternative to long-term antibiotic prophylaxis and open surgical intervention in the treatment of VUR in children. The 15 min day care endoscopic procedure has gained worldwide popularity in the management of VUR in children. Over the years, multiple studies have demonstrated safety and long-term efficacy of this minimally invasive outpatient procedure.

Recently, environmentally friendly crop improvements using next-generation plant biostimulants (PBs) come to the forefront in agriculture, regardless of whether they are used by scientists, farmers, or industries. Various organic and inorganic solutions have been investigated by researchers and producers, focusing on tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses, crop quality, or nutritional deficiency. Garlic has been considered a universal remedy ever since antiquity.

Article Synopsis
  • - Recent climate change has heightened the need for plants to cope with various stressors, and defense mechanisms like PAMP-triggered Immunity (PTI) play a vital role in this process.
  • - A study evaluated the effects of a plant conditioner, ELICE16INDURES®, on soybeans in Northern Hungary, identifying its ability to enhance plant immunity without harmful pathogens, with treatments applied at different times and concentrations.
  • - Findings revealed that treatment significantly boosted the expression of genes related to immunity and other biological pathways, indicating increased production of important compounds like jasmonic acid and salicylic acid, which enhance the plant's stress response.

Nowadays, many researchers, farmers and companies focus on the development of an environmentally friendly approach for enhancing field vegetable production and protection. Using next-generation plant biostimulants (PBs) could be effective to enhance tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses, vegetable crop quality or nutrient efficiency which is particularly important for vegetables with a short growing season, such as . Two herbal drug-containing plant conditioners Elice16Indures® (supercritical carbon dioxide extract SC-CO) and Fitokondi® (aqueous extract) developed in the RIMPH Ltd (Hungary) were used in pea field experiments to monitor the potential of enhancing crop quality and defense response against different stress factors.

We present plasmid sequences of 21 multidrug resistant isolates of Enterobacterales belonging to (n=10), (n=9), (n=1), and (n=1). The isolates originated from effluent collected from hospital sewer pipes and from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in a southwestern Hungarian city. Isolation was carried out using eosin methylene blue agar supplemented with ceftriaxone and the isolates were identified with MALDI-TOF MS.

This work aimed to study the plant conditioning effect and mode of action of a plant-based biostimulant used in organic farming. This new generation plant biostimulant, named ELICE16INDURES, is rich in plant bio-active ingredients containing eleven supercritical botanical extracts encapsulated in nano-scale liposomes. The dose-response (10 to 240 g ha) relationship was tested in a field population of autumn barley ( test crop, and underlying molecular mechanisms were studied.

The dynamic of flower development is a key agronomic characteristic affecting soybean yield. RNA-seq dataset of field-cultivated soybean flowers in four developmental stages including flower buds, and early, mature, and overblown stage flowers are reported in this paper. Gene Expression (Gex) library construction and Illumina NextSeq550 sequencing were carried out to produce 86 bp long forward reads.

  • Using instrumental insemination in related honey bee colonies often results in lethal offspring, leading to colony collapse due to specific genetic factors in honey bee reproduction.
  • A high throughput sequencing (HTS) method is introduced to track alleles, allowing for better monitoring of genetic combinations and minimizing the risk of lethal gene combinations.
  • The approach also offers potential applications for screening honey from breeding facilities, contributing to databases that can help trace honey origins and improve targeted breeding for traits like varroa mite tolerance.

Common ragweed L. is the most widespread weed and the most dangerous pollen allergenic plant in large areas of the temperate zone. Since herbicides like PSI and PSII inhibitors have their target genes in the chloroplast genome, understanding the chloroplast genome may indirectly support the exploration of herbicide resistance and development of novel control methods.

During the past couple of decades, our understanding of the treatment of undescended testis (UDT) has hugely expanded and it is still dynamically changing: new diagnostic tools are available, and experimental procedures are becoming a real-life treatment options. Our community needs to continuously update our guidelines. It is also our responsibility to build up, not a uniform, but a patient-oriented guideline which can provide information for both primary care providers and pediatric surgeons.

Background: It is recognised that individuals with a 45,X/46,XY karyotype, known as Turner mosaic syndrome with Y chromosome material (TMSY), have an increased risk of developing gonadoblastoma (GB), which may then devolve into one of a number of germ cell malignancies. Hence, children with TMSY are usually recommended to undergo prophylactic gonadectomy.

Objective: We designed this study to describe the phenotypic features of our series of children with TMSY who underwent prophylactic gonadectomy in order to evaluate the prevalence of GB and germ cell malignancies in their resected specimens.

Background: Low pulmonary retinol levels and disrupted retinoid signaling pathway (RSP) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and associated pulmonary hypoplasia (PH). It has been demonstrated that nitrofen disturbs the main retinol-binding protein (RBP)-dependent trophoblastic retinol transport. Several studies have demonstrated that prenatal treatment with retinoic acid (RA) can reverse PH in the nitrofen-induced CDH model.

Background: Prenatal mortality in newborn infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) has been attributed to increased amounts of liver hernia ion through the diaphragmatic defect. Antenatal studies in human and rodent fetus with CDH further demonstrated a contribution of the developing liver in the pathogenesis of CDH. The abnormal hepatic growth in experimental animal models, therefore, indicates a disruption of normal liver development in CDH.
