Coagulopathy in acute liver failure.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare but rapidly progressing syndrome, marked by severe liver dysfunction and altered mental status. While definitions of ALF vary across different guidelines, with timelines ranging from 4 to 26 weeks between jaundice onset and encephalopathy, the key defining features remain encephalopathy and coagulopathy. Elevated coagulation markers, particularly prothrombin time and international normalized ratio, have traditionally been associated with bleeding risks.

Intranodal Hemangioma: Case Report and Systematic Review.

Background: Intranodal hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors of the lymph nodes, often misdiagnosed as malignant lymphadenopathies due to their clinical and radiological features. This case report and systematic review aim to elucidate the epidemiology, clinical profile, and therapeutic interventions for intranodal hemangioma, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and management.

Methods: A systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.

Biofilm Production and Antibiogram Profiles in and Salmonella.

and are important enteric pathogens associated with a variety of infections. Biofilm formation and antimicrobial resistance are important characteristics making these pathogens a concern in terms of strong attachment to substrates, expression of virulence markers and difficult removal. The present study investigates the biofilm-forming ability and antibiogram patterns among and .

Effect of ultrasonication on OSA esterified surface modification of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) starch.

The present study investigates the effect of ultrasonication (US) amplitude (30 %, 50 %, and 70 %, time- 45 min) followed by octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA, 3 %) esterification on morphological, structural, functional, and rheological properties of sorghum starch. The increase in US amplitudes significantly (p < 0.05) increased the degree of substitution (DS) of esterified starch (0.

Exposure of Proso millet starch to superheated steam: Effect on physicochemical, techno-functional, rheological behavior, digestibility, and related mechanism.

In the present study, proso millet starch (PMS) was treated with SHS (120-160 °C for 1-5 min) to investigate the molecular interactions and techno-functional, rheological, and digestible properties. Exposure to SHS induced the degradation of helical structure, and longer chains, reducing amylose, blue value, optical density, and relative crystallinity. Meanwhile, SHS treatment might have introduced hydro‑carbonyl groups, eventually increasing water absorption capacity, swelling power, and transparency.
