Article Synopsis
  • Fulminant hepatitis is an uncommon and severe type of acute liver failure (ALF) that leads to rapid liver cell destruction and has a high death rate, often caused by viral infections, alongside existing liver conditions.
  • A 2-year-old patient presented with jaundice and signs of severe infection, being diagnosed with active hepatitis A and Epstein-Barr virus infections, which worsened despite treatment, leading to death on the ninth day of illness.
  • This case is unique due to the simultaneous occurrence of two different viral hepatitis infections against a backdrop of undiagnosed liver disease, highlighting the complexities in diagnosing and treating ALF.

Arctic Indigenous Peoples are among the most exposed humans when it comes to foodborne mercury (Hg). In response, Hg monitoring and research have been on-going in the circumpolar Arctic since about 1991; this work has been mainly possible through the involvement of Arctic Indigenous Peoples. The present overview was initially conducted in the context of a broader assessment of Hg research organized by the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme.

The paper characterizes phenotypic features of subpopulations of human adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) resulting from exposure to Toll-like receptors ligands. MSC1 and MSC2 phenotypes were induced by exposure to LPS and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid, respectively. Different exposures to Toll-like receptors ligands, short-term (3 h) and long-term (24 h), were studied.

Aims: The objective of this work was to study the antibacterial specificity and antibacterial effect of endolysins isolated from colibacteriophages RB43, RB49 and T5-as manifested on the exponential and stationary cell cultures of diverse bacteria depending on the growth stage, structure of peptidoglycan (PG) and antibiotic resistance.

Methods And Results: Enzyme activity was assayed by the spectrophotometric method. Antimicrobial activity was estimated by the number of colony forming units (CFUs), with the results represented as logarithmic units.
