Strain improvement by genetic manipulation or optimization of fermentation conditions for overproduction of vitamin B(12) has a drawback due to feed back inhibition. To resist the feed back inhibition by analogues of vitamin B(12) in Propionibacterium freudenrechii subsps. shermanii (OLP-5), we have tested with microbially separated B(12) analogues from three different strains. Microbial analogues were differentiated from commercially available vitamin B(12) by high pressure liquid chromatography and spectrophotometric method. An analogue isolated from NRRL-B-4327 was shown to increase vitamin B(12) concentration from 18.53 ± 0.15 to 31.67 ± 0.58 mg/l in OLP-5 strain. The presence of chemical analogue (ICH(2) Co(DH)(2) (H(2)Py)(4)) increased vitamin B(12) production from 16.13 ± 0.15 to 18.53 ± 0.15 mg/l in OLP-5. These findings revealed that addition of B(12) analogues in fermentation media have developed strain resistance to feed back inhibition by vitamin B(12).

Introduction: Micronutrient deficiencies are common among women of reproductive age (WRA) and children in Senegal. Large-scale food fortification (LSFF) can help fill gaps in dietary intakes.

Methods: We used household food consumption data to model the contributions of existing LSFF programs (vitamin A-fortified refined oil and iron and folic acid-fortified wheat flour) and the potential contributions of expanding these programs to meeting the micronutrient requirements of WRA (15-49 years) and children (6-59 months).

Whilst severe liver dysfunction is rarely encountered at the time of diagnosis for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), mild elevations aminotransferase (<5 times the upper limit of normal) may be more frequently seen. Liver dysfunction at the time of diagnosis of AML is a parameter that requires investigation and can assist the clinicians in predicting prognosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate liver dysfunction at the time of diagnosis using the assoicated parameters in patients with AML.

Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 3 (APS-3) is an uncommon condition marked by autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) linked with other autoimmune issues, excluding Addison's disease. We report a case of a 41-year-old man who was hospitalized due to exhaustion and macrocytic anemia, later diagnosed with APS-3, which included Hashimoto's thyroiditis, pernicious anemia resulting from autoimmune gastritis, and pre-existing vitiligo. Diagnostic results indicated positive intrinsic factor antibodies, a gastric biopsy compatible with gastritis, elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies, and significant findings from a thyroid ultrasound.

Background: Nitrous oxide (N₂O), commonly known as laughing gas, is widely recognized for its anesthetic and analgesic effects, and is frequently used in medical contexts. However, its misuse can lead to significant neurological complications, which are often under-recognized in clinical practice. Recent data on such cases in Germany are rare.
