To investigate the efficacy of Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) for the treatment of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS). SRUS is a benign disease, diagnosed by symptoms, clinical, and histological findings. PBMT has been reported for the treatment of various inflammation-based diseases including aphthous ulcer, but still no such study on the treatment of SRUS is published. A 29-year Asian women, diagnosed for SRUS of 0.57 cm diameter, was treated by a laser at 635 nm through seven sessions. Laser fluence of 85 J/cm was delivered to ulcer lesion during each session for 10 min. Clinical results were valued by physician with sigmoid probe throughout PBMT sessions and no medicines were prescribed to the patient. After seven sessions, the lesion was completely healed with 100% clinical response. In follow-up, patient did not respond to any additional/recurring abnormality, and no side effects were observed. In conclusion, PBMT by using laser at 635 nm is an effective treatment for SRUS without any side effects and patient remained comfortable throughout treatment sessions. Patient registration No. H-744/23.

College of Plant Protection, Henan Agricultural University, Zhengzhou, China.
Background: Peanut stem rot, caused by Sclerotium rolfsii, has become increasingly prevalent in China, leading to significant yield losses in peanut production. To effectively manage peanut stem rot, we assessed the potential application of difenoconazole against peanut stem rot.
Results: Difenoconazole has a good inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth of S.
Immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated diabetic ketoacidosis and insulin-dependent diabetes: a case report.
J Med Case Rep
December 2024
Emergency Medicine, Vancouver General Hospital, Vancouver, Canada.
Background: Immunotherapy, including the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors such as nivolumab, is increasingly common in cancer treatment and can lead to various immune-related adverse effects, including rare cases of diabetic ketoacidosis. This case report highlights an unique instance of nivolumab-induced diabetic ketoacidosis in a patient without prior history of diabetes, emphasizing the importance of careful monitoring even in those without traditional risk factors.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 70-year-old Caucasian male with metastatic esophageal adenocarcinoma who developed diabetic ketoacidosis 3 weeks after stopping nivolumab therapy.

Background: Sub-Saharan Africa faces one of the highest burdens of venereal diseases (VDs) globally. This review aims to critically evaluate the existing literature on the diverse Indigenous knowledge and medicinal plants utilised for treating VDs in sub-Saharan Africa.
Methods: We used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol to guide the execution of the review.
GANT61 surmounts drug resistance of ADR by upregulating lysosome activities and reducing BCL2 expression in HL-60/ADR cells.

Department of Hematology, Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, The First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan Normal University, Changsha, Hunan, 410005, China.
Background: Drug resistance remains a significant obstacle to Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) successful treatment, often leading to therapeutic failure. Our previous studies demonstrated that Glioma-associated oncogene-1 (GLI1) reduces chemotherapy sensitivity and promotes cell proliferation in AML cells. GANT61, an inhibitor of GLI1, emerges as a promising candidate in AML treatment.

Background: Angelman syndrome (AS), a severe neurodevelopmental disorder resulting from the loss of the maternal UBE3A gene, is marked by changes in the brain's white matter (WM). The extent of WM abnormalities seems to correlate with the severity of clinical symptoms, but these deficits are still poorly characterized or understood. This study provides the first large-scale measurement of WM volume reduction in children with AS.
