Formulation and heat stability of self-assembled O/W food-grade microemulsions formulated with bile salts or tween 80 as surfactants.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in developing food-grade (F-G) microemulsions (MEMs) with potential applications in the food industry, such as a green solvent for extracting bioactive compounds or as a vehicle to solubilize low-polar bioactive compounds. Therefore, this work aimed to create F-G MEMs using a low-energy titration method, bile salt or tween 80 as surfactants, and F-G ingredients like acetic acid, olive oil, limonene, and coconut oil. For this purpose, 56 formulations were assessed, from which 14 created oil-in-water (O/W) one-phase Winsor type IV microemulsions.

Pediatric cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea caused by low flow vascular anomaly of the temporal bone: A case series.

Objective: Atraumatic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea is uncommon in children and necessitates a multi-disciplinary evaluation for an etiology. Underlying osseous abnormality due to extensive or multifocal low flow vascular anomaly should be considered as a potential cause of spontaneous CSF leak. Treatment of multifocal low flow vascular anomalies may include medical and surgical approaches.

Kaposiform Lymphangiomatosis: Pathologic Aspects in 43 Patients.

Kaposiform lymphangiomatosis is an uncommon generalized lymphatic anomaly with distinctive clinical, radiologic, histopathologic, and molecular findings. Herein, we document the pathology in 43 patients evaluated by the Boston Children's Hospital Vascular Anomalies Center from 1999 to 2020. The most frequent presentations were respiratory difficulty, hemostatic abnormalities, and a soft tissue mass.
