Background: Liver transplantation for unresectable, benign hepatic lesions is rare. Hepatic mesenchymal hamartomas (HMH) are benign, cystic tumors that arise mostly in pediatric populations and can cause compressive symptoms. HMH is rarely associated with placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS).

- Introducing new genes and species into ecosystems can provide benefits like preventing extinctions, but it also poses risks and raises ethical concerns.
- The conservation community has made attempts to create guidelines, yet there is a need for broader principles to help navigate these complex decisions.
- This text proposes an inclusive set of principles that consider biological, legal, social, cultural, and ethical factors to assist conservation managers in making informed choices about emerging technologies.
Copper-based nanoparticles (NPs) are highly valued for their wide-ranging applications, with particular significance in CO reduction. However current synthesis methods encounter challenges in scalability, batch-to-batch variation, and high energy costs. In this work, we describe a novel continuous flow synthesis approach performed at room temperature to help address these issues, producing spherical, colloidally stable copper(ii) oxide (CuO) NPs.

Misregulation of reactive oxygen species and subsequent neuronal damage are etiological hallmarks of neurodegenerative disease. Macrocyclic small molecules have offered inroads toward functional SOD1 mimics.

To address this knowledge-to-practice gap, we produced a five-minute parent-targeted video demonstrating the analgesic effects of these strategies and examined whether the use of newborn pain treatment increased in maternal-newborn care settings following the introduction of the video by nurses.
Methods: The design was a pre-post outcome evaluation.
