Article Synopsis
  • Researchers identified Muse cells, a type of pluripotent stem cell, which play a role in tissue repair and are found in higher numbers in patients with acute myocarditis compared to controls.
  • In biopsies from 17 patients with fulminant myocarditis, there were significantly more Muse cells present, indicating their potential involvement in the severity of myocardial injury.
  • The study suggests that these Muse cells might help in healing damaged heart tissue and could correlate with clinical outcomes during both acute and recovery phases of myocarditis.

Background: Diencephalic Syndrome is an atypical early manifestation of low-grade gliomas; so, it is important to detect it in patients that experience a failure to thrive despite adequate length growth and food intake. The purpose of this article is to focus attention on this rare but potentially dangerous cause of poor weight gain or stunting in childhood.

Materials And Methods: We describe four patients with Diencephalic Syndrome and low-grade gliomas who were evaluated in our institution from January 2017 to December 2021.

Article Synopsis
  • Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) in Andhra Pradesh aims to enhance food security and environmental sustainability, but lacks robust statistical data comparing its yields to organic and conventional farming.* -
  • Field experiments across 28 farms revealed that ZBNF yielded significantly more than both organic and conventional methods, particularly due to benefits from mulching that improved soil moisture and earthworm populations.* -
  • While ZBNF shows promise, its effectiveness varies by district and crop type, and there were negligible differences in nutrient content compared to conventional farming, highlighting the potential risks of synthetic farming practices.*

Background: Neuroblastic tumors (NBTs) are the most common extra-cranial solid tumors of childhood. Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is the most common neurocutaneous disorder with a predisposition to tumors. The co-occurrence of NBTs in the setting of NF1 has been occasionally reported, suggesting a non-casual association and likely configuring a spectrum of neural crest-derived disorders.
