In the present study enterotoxic and cytotoxic activities of twenty Aeromonas caviae strains were examined. They originated from fecal specimens of patients with acute diarrhea during an outbreak in Brazil in 2004. Culture supernatants of fourteen strains (70%) caused fluid accumulation in rabbit ileal intestinal loops and in suckling mice assays, and also showed a cytotoxic activity in Vero and Caco-2 cells. The enterotoxic and cytotoxic factors were heat-stable after culture supernatants treatment at 100 ºC. The results revealed that A. caviae strains produce a putative diarrheagenic virulence factor, a heat-stable cytotoxic enterotoxin that could be linked to the diarrhea outbreak that took place in Brazil.

Department of Haematology and Oncology, University Children's Hospital, Eberhard Karls University Tuebingen, 72076 Tuebingen, Germany.
Background: The incorporation of anti-GD2 antibodies such as ch14.18/SP2/0 into the multimodal treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB) patients has improved their outcomes. As studies assessing the long-term outcomes, long-term sequelae, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of this treatment are limited, this retrospective analysis aimed to explore these.

Department of Pharmacy, Hainan Cancer Hospital, Haikou, Hainan, China.
Background: To identify the factors influencing pyrotinib-induced severe diarrhea and to establish a risk prediction nomogram model.
Methods: The clinical data of 226 patients received pyrotinib from two medical institutions from January 2019 to December 2023 were analysed retrospectively. A training set was made up of 167 patients from Hainan Cancer Hospital, and the external validation set was made up of 59 patients from Hainan West Central Hospital.

Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Wollo University, Dessie, P.O. Box: 1145, Ethiopia.
Background: Salmonella and Shigella are major enteric pathogens that cause diarrhea in children worldwide. They are pathogenic microbes that cause significant diarrheal morbidity and mortality in under five children in resource limited countries. Thus, this systemic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the prevalence of Salmonella and Shigella species and their multidrug resistance patterns in pediatric populations in Ethiopia.
