Exploring the Differentiation Abilities of Hair Follicle and Dental Pulp Stem Cells Into Islet Like Cells.

This study aimed to compare the differentiation potential of dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DP-MSCs) and hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HF-MSCs), which originated from the ectoderm. Dental pulps were separated from the extracted wisdom teeth during dental surgery, and Hair follicles were extracted from the scalp of patients undergoing hair transplantation. We cultivated the cell in cell culture media, supplemented with additional nutrients.

Antenatal diagnosis and early postnatal management of a neonate with type 1 familial glucocorticoid deficiency.

Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is a rare inherited cause of primary adrenal insufficiency, characterised by cortisol deficiency, without mineralocorticoid involvement. Affected patients commonly present in infancy or early childhood with hypoglycaemia, seizures, generalised hyperpigmentation and failure to thrive. Late diagnosis may lead to adverse neurological outcomes, usually resulting from repeated hypoglycaemic episodes.

Guidelines for the use of lung ultrasound to optimise the management of neonatal respiratory distress: international expert consensus.

Background: Respiratory distress is the main reason for the admission of infants to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Rapid identification of the causes of respiratory distress and selection of appropriate and effective treatment strategies are important to optimise favourable short- and long-term patient outcomes. Lung ultrasound (LUS) technology has become increasingly important in this field.

Alveolar capillary dysplasia in a neonate: emphasising the importance of early recognition and biopsy in refractory pulmonary hypertension.

Alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACD/MPV) is a rare congenital condition characterised by abnormal development of the pulmonary vasculature. It manifests as severe, refractory hypoxaemia and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), often resulting in rapid progression to respiratory failure and early death despite aggressive interventions. Diagnosis relies on distinct histological features.

Therapeutic efficacy of moxifloxacin and marbofloxacin against mastitis in buffalo.

Mastitis is a common economically important disease of dairy buffaloes. Antibiotic resistance is the most cited reason behind the failure of clinical mastitis treatment in buffaloes. Selection of antibiotic after antibiotic sensitivity test is the key to avoid multidrug resistance (MDR) for mastitis therapy.
