Structural Disruption of Cilia and Increased Cytoplasmic Tubulin in Biliary Atresia-An Exploratory Study Focusing on Early Postoperative Prognosis Following Portoenterostomy.

Biliary atresia (BA) is a progressive hepatobiliary disease in infants, leading to liver failure and the need for transplantation. While its etiopathogenesis remains unclear, recent studies suggest primary cilia (PC) disruption plays a role. This study investigates correlations between PC and cytoplasmic tubulin (TUBA4A) alterations with hypoxia in patients with the isolated form of BA, focusing on native liver survival.

Sleep bruxism, awake bruxism and headache in children and adolescents: a scoping review.

A scoping review was carried out with the aim of mapping the existing literature on the association between sleep/awake bruxism and primary headache (migraine and tension headache) in children and adolescents. This scoping review followed the method proposed by Arksey & O'Malley and the Joanna Briggs Institute Manual for Evidence Synthesis and was reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). The methods were registered in the Open Science Framework ( View Article and Find Full Text PDF

Development and characterization of pectin films containing nanoemulsions of the essential oil from Thymus vulgaris for preserving salami.

Emulsions were prepared from T. vulgaris essential oil using the surfactants Pluronic F127 and Tween 80 by mechanical agitation (Emulsion_Tw and Emulsion_Pl) and sonication using an ultrasonic tip (Sonicated_emulsion_Tw and Sonicated_emulsion_Pl). These emulsions were incorporated into pectin films.

Phytase Improves Zinc Utilization by Broiler Chickens.

The study aimed to evaluate phytase effects on the availability of zinc (Zn) from corn and soybean meal feeds for broiler chickens, whereas, in parallel, Zn requirements were investigated. A total of 640 Cobb × Cobb 500 male chicks were fed a Zn-deficient diet (18.87 ± 0.

Complete genome sequence of strain AEG42_29 (DSM 112329), a member of the genus isolated from soil.

We report the complete genome sequence of strain AEG42_29, a representative of the genus isolated from a temperate grassland soil. Its genome codes for several genes involved in stress response, defense, and virulence, which may help this bacterium cope with fluctuating conditions in the soil environment.
