This study explores the potential of indigenous non- yeasts isolated from L. grape skins to improve the quality of regional wines by enhancing their physicochemical and sensory characteristics. Five promising yeast strains were identified at different stages of fermentation: (J1Y-T1), (Y5P-T5), (JF3-T1N), (Y8P-T8), and (WMP4-T4).

Case Presentation: An 18-year-old boy of consanguineous parents was investigated for hypoproteinaemia and anaemia. He was short, pale and had generalised oedema.
Article Synopsis
- Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to serious neurological issues, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, which is rare in infants.
- A case study presented an 11-month-old girl experiencing severe seizures and developmental delays caused by a mutation in the FUT2 gene that affects vitamin B12 absorption.
- Following diagnosis, she was treated with intramuscular hydroxocobalamin, highlighting the importance of identifying genetic causes of vitamin deficiencies in similar cases.
