Article Synopsis
  • Understanding how injury healing works is still a bit unclear, but recent studies highlighted the importance of C3a and C5a receptor signaling in various cell types' growth and repair processes.
  • Disabling CD55, a factor that restrains C3ar1/C5ar1 signaling, was found to significantly boost cell growth and healing in different injury models like burns and skin reengraftment.
  • The application of a CD55 blocking antibody improved healing rates by 40-70%, suggesting a promising new approach for enhancing wound repair.

Environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, and light, can impact the quality of drugs. Microwave-based approaches offer a fast and cost-effective way to detect quality variations, providing an alternative to traditional techniques in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. This article proposes the use of a microwave sensor for monitoring the quality of pharmaceutical drugs at distinct temperature levels.

A massive pulmonary hemorrhage is an emergency that can lead to airway compromise and cardiovascular collapse. The goals of airway management are to isolate and protect the nonbleeding lung while providing a route for interventions to diagnose and control the bleeding site. We present a case of an adult male with a lung mass who underwent a bronchoscopy and cryobiopsy that was complicated by a massive pulmonary hemorrhage.

Purpose: To report the correlation between recombinant growth hormone (rhGH) dosage and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness values measured by optical coherence tomography in a case of pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS) after rhGH.

Methods: An 11-year-old girl was receiving rhGH for panhypopituitarism. The patient developed PTCS, and her rhGH dose was adjusted using optical coherence tomography RNFL thickness measurements.

Purpose: To create a model of an ischemic retina with temporary ischemia and reperfusion (IR) and to examine the possible antiapoptotic and neurodegenerative effects of a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonist.

Methods: Three groups were formed. Rats were subjected to continued ischemia for 45 min, and then reperfusion was allowed for 2 days.
