Mesenchymal stem cells suppress inflammation by downregulating interleukin-6 expression in intestinal perforation animal model.

Introduction: Intestinal perforation has significant fatality due to sepsis contamination and prolonged inflammation. Studies showed that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) secreted cytokines and growth factors to reduce inflammation. This study aims to reveal the role of MSCs in controlling inflammation in intestinal perforation wound healing by measuring interleukin-6 (IL-6) and leukocytes in injured tissue.

Negative SARS-COV-2 pleural effusion in breast carcinoma coincide with COVID-19 infection: Case report.

Introduction: and Importance: COVID-19 infection presents various symptoms that may resemble signs and symptoms of other underlying diseases. Pleural effusion in a confirmed COVID-19 patient with a history of malignancy is found to be rare, and the exact pathogenesis is still unclear. Hence RT-PCR COVID-19 assay from pleural effusion fluid is essential.

Ultrasound with needle guiding exploration as a real-time modality for exploration of air rifle bullet close to cervical spine: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Surgical exploration of retained air rifle bullet at the neck region is challenging because it is difficult to find bullets during exploration and prevent damage to vital structures. A bedside real-time imaging technique is needed to determine the retained bullet's location to the surrounding structures and guiding exploration.

Case Presentation: A 19-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department with neck pain after being shot by an air rifle.
