Background: The application of high throughput technologies has enabled unravelling of unique differences between healthy mares and mares with endometritis at transcriptomic and proteomic levels. However, differences in the uterine microbiome are yet to be investigated.
Objectives: The present study was aimed at evaluating the differences in uterine microbiome between healthy mares and mares with endometritis.
Article Synopsis
- The objective is to create guidelines for diagnosing and managing Kawasaki disease (KD) specifically for Indian children, highlighting its impact on infants and the seriousness of untreated cases.* -
- KD can cause serious complications like coronary artery abnormalities, which may lead to long-term heart issues, but timely diagnosis and IVIG treatment can significantly reduce risks.* -
- A committee from the Indian Academy of Pediatrics was established to draft these guidelines, emphasizing that the diagnosis is primarily clinical and supported by lab tests and imaging, with IVIG being the first-line treatment.*
Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare and aggressive variant of myeloma accounting for 2-3% of all plasma cell dyscrasias characterized by the presence of circulating plasma cells. The diagnosis is based on the % (≥20%) and absolute number (≥2x10 9 /L) of plasma cells in the peripheral blood. The incidence of primary PCL (pPCL) is very rare and reported to occur in <1 in a million.
