- Acute cerebellar ischemic stroke is extremely rare in children, often leading to symptoms like ataxia, cranial nerve issues, and can sometimes cause severe intracranial hypertension.* -
- A case involving a 2-year-old boy showed deterioration in consciousness, and imaging revealed a right cerebellar and brainstem infarction due to an artery blockage, along with hydrocephalus and tonsillar herniation.* -
- The child underwent neurosurgery for hydrocephalus treatment and was found to have a protein C deficiency; complications arose with thrombosis in the vena cava and renal vein during his care.*
Biodiscovery efforts in Indonesia have aimed to explore the understudied chemical diversity of its rich lichen flora, seeking to find new products endowed with significant biological properties. The chemical screening of a extract led to selection of this species for further investigation. LC/MS and H NMR-based dereplication pinpointed six chlorodepsidones from the thallus of a sample of this lichen.

Obesity is a polygenic disorder which has become a global epidemic in recent years. Aim of the present study was to assess the theranostic potential of probiotics ( and local herbs (fenugreek seeds, aloe vera) on the body weight, biochemical (liver and kidney functions) and histology of some internal organs (liver, kidney, ovary, small intestine) in obese rats. In present study, nanoemulsions of probiotics and local herbs were formulated by high energy method and characterized by FTIR and UV analysis.

Although some diseases are well known to be associated with Down syndrome, others such as idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis and ischemic stroke due to protein C deficiency remain rare.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 2.
Background: Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system. Little information is available about the clinical and neuroradiological profile or the follow-up of this disease in Tunisian children.
Aim: To determine the clinical, laboratory, and radiological features and the outcome of ADEM in children admitted to the pediatrics department of a university hospital in Tunisia.
