Objective: To report the presence of type B lactic acidosis and insulin-resistant hyperglycemia following cardiopulmonary bypass in a pediatric patient.

Design: Case report.

Setting: Tertiary referral children's hospital pediatric intensive care unit.

Patient: Fourteen-year-old child with hyperlactatemia and hyperglycemia following cardiac surgery.

Interventions And Results: We report a patient who following cardiopulmonary bypass for repair of his congenital heart disease developed type B lactic acidosis and hyperglycemia resistant to insulin therapy. Resolution of his hyperlactatemia and hyperglycemia occurred approximately 24 hrs postoperatively without apparent ill effect.

Conclusions: Type B lactic acidosis is a phenomenon that may occur in the pediatric population in conjunction with insulin-resistant hyperglycemia. We observed that its resolution corresponded to improvement in the patient's hyperglycemia.

A facultative anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain AGMB14963 was isolated from the feces of a dairy cow. A 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogenetic analysis revealed that strain AGMB14963 belongs to the genus Gallibacterium, with Gallibacterium salpingitidis F150 being the closest species (95.8% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity).

Aims: This study aimed to develop Imatinib Mesylate (IMT)-loaded Poly Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA)-D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS)- Polyethylene glycol (PEG) hybrid nanoparticles (CSLHNPs) with optimized physicochemical properties for targeted delivery to glioblastoma multiforme.

Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most destructive type of brain tumor with several complications. Currently, most treatments for drug delivery for this disease face challenges due to the poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) and lack of site-specific delivery.

User adherence contributes to the effectiveness of topical pre-exposure prophylactic products designed to protect against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Long-acting approaches that do not require daily or coitally-dependent use could potentially improve user adherence. This study aims to develop a long-acting vaginal film to deliver an integrase inhibitor, MK-2048, for prevention of HIV-1 infection.
