Allogeneic bone marrow derived clonal mesenchymal stromal cells in refractory rheumatoid arthritis: a pilot study.
Regen Med
December 2024
Department of Regenerative Medicine, Cell Science Research Center, Royan Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Technology, ACECR, Tehran, Iran.
Aims: This phase I trial assessed the safety and potential efficacy of monthly 3 dose intravenous infusion of allogeneic bone marrow-derived clonal mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-cMSCs) in refractory rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients over 24 weeks.
Patients & Methods: Six patients with refractory RA received BM-cMSC infusions at one-month intervals over a 24-week period. Safety outcomes included adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs).

Article Synopsis
- Canine leishmaniasis (CanL), caused by Leishmania infantum, is a common disease in Algeria, prompting a study on how veterinarians in Skikda and Constantine manage and understand it.
- A survey with 139 veterinary clinics revealed a high prevalence of CanL, similar symptoms, and a reliance on serological techniques for diagnosis, but also indicated euthanasia is the main treatment strategy.
- The study highlighted a lack of education among veterinarians on zoonotic disease prevention, suggesting a need for standardized, evidence-based practices to improve CanL management in Algeria.
Development of point-of-care immunodiagnostic test for Taenia solium cysticercosis in pigs.
Res Vet Sci
January 2025
Division of Parasitology, ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar, Uttar Pradesh 243122, India.
Article Synopsis
- * Traditional diagnostic methods for cysticercosis lack sensitivity and require specialized labs, making effective disease control challenging.
- * A new recombinant Ag2-based dot blot assay was developed, showing high sensitivity (89%) and specificity (100%), indicating it could be a cost-effective and reliable diagnostic tool for use in low-resource settings.
Investigating the Role of C-Reactive Protein/Albumin Ratio in the Preliminary Diagnosis of Patients With Unexplained Neck Lymphadenopathy.

Lymphadenopathies in the neck are associated with several etiological factors, such as inflammation, infection, and tumors. We diagnose some of these lymphadenopathies using serologic tests, while others are diagnosed using biopsies. The C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) has recently emerged as a crucial inflammatory marker in cardiovascular diseases and various types of cancer.

Background: Pectus excavatum (PE) is the most common chest wall deformity, characterized by an insidious onset, gradual progression, and challenges in early diagnosis. It is often accompanied by emaciation and distinctive metabolic traits, which may provide valuable insights into its internal physiological and biochemical mechanisms. Our study attempted to screen out biomarkers by identifying the metabolic characteristics of PE, and the results provide a scientific basis for the early diagnosis of PE.
