As Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) are easily accessible, easy to isolate, and ethically acceptable, they represent a promising source of MSCs for use in regenerative medicine. Considering decisions on WJ-MSCs collection requires extensive knowledge of the factors that impact their yield. This study's aim was to evaluate the influence of parameters related to mothers and newborns on the WJ-MSCs yield.

- The study analyzed 49 strains of a common hospital pathogen from humans, dogs, and cats using NGS technology, revealing that standard identification methods (MALDI-TOF) were inadequate for some newly discovered isolates.* -
- Notably, different sequence types were identified among the strains, with human isolates showing higher resistance to multiple antibiotics, including extensive drug-resistant types, whereas animal isolates were generally less resistant.* -
- The research indicated inconsistencies between observed resistance patterns and genetic data, suggesting a need for more extensive studies to understand antimicrobial resistance across various sources, highlighting the importance of a One Health approach in monitoring infections in Egypt.*

This prospective study aimed to compare ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in computer-designed patient-specific implants (PSIs) for cranial defect reconstruction, in terms of complications and aesthetic outcomes. Primary or secondary cranioplasty-eligible patients were included, while patients with active infection or hydrocephalus, or unfit for general anesthesia, were excluded from the study. All the implants were designed and fabricated by the same maxillofacial surgeon using CAD/CAM technology.

- The study looked at the connection between periorbital melanosis (POM), which causes dark circles around the eyes, insulin resistance (IR), and vitamin D levels.
- Researchers compared 100 patients with POM to 100 healthy people to see how their vitamin D and IR indicators matched up.
- They found that people with POM had higher IR and lower vitamin D levels, suggesting POM could be a helpful sign for early detection of these health issues.
