Background: According to the WHO's recommendation for developing countries, Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination has been implemented in some countries as part of national vaccination programs at birth. Although it is generally considered safe, some complications may occur; including BCGitis (local) or BCGosis (systemic), ranging from mild like local abscesses to fatal impediments like osteomyelitis and disseminated BCG infection. This study aimed to determine the spectrum of inborn errors of immunity (IEI) in BCG-vaccinated neonates experiencing local or systemic complications.

- Primary immunodeficiency diseases with partial albinism, such as Chediak Higashi Syndrome (CHS) and Griscelli Syndrome type 2 (GS2), are autosomal recessive disorders characterized by immune deficiencies and abnormal pigmentation.
- The study evaluated 25 patients over the past decade, using genetic analyses and examinations of leukocyte granules and hair shafts to identify these conditions, along with control groups of patients with albinism and healthy individuals.
- The findings indicated specific genetic variants associated with CHS and HPS2, highlighting the importance of timely hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and genetic testing for accurate diagnosis and management of these syndromes.
Emerging roles of osteocytes in the regulation of bone and skeletal muscle mass.

Article Synopsis
- Research over the years has revealed that bone is not just a structural organ but plays a significant role in the body's metabolism, primarily through osteocytes, which make up over 80% of bone cells.
- Osteocytes were once thought to be inactive, but new findings show they have secretory functions that influence both other bone cells and nearby organs like skeletal muscle through complex signaling pathways.
- The review aims to compile existing preclinical and clinical data on osteocyte secretions and their functions, assisting researchers in developing unbiased therapeutic strategies for musculoskeletal disorders.
Context: In the renewable industry, pressure-dependent CsPbBr perovskite has a lot of potential due to its exceptional properties. Present work revealed the mechanical stability of CsPbBr between 0 to 50 GPa. The bandgap of unstressed CsPbBr is 2.
