Typical rickets were observed in a 13 year old Turkish girl and in a 14 year old Moroccan girl. Hypocalcaemia was present in one case. Symptoms have easily regressed with vitamin D2. Seric 25 OH D3 was very low; seric 1-25 OH D3 was normal before treatment and increased very much with vitamin D. In the second case vitamin D deficiency was familial. Study of 15 immigrant children living in or near Saint-Etienne has shown low seric concentrations of 25 OH D3 in 9 (8 undetectable).

Risk prediction of kalaemia disturbance and acute kidney injury after total knee arthroplasty: use of a machine learning algorithm.

Introduction: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a procedure associated with risks of electrolyte and kidney function disorders, which are rare but can lead to serious complications if not correctly identified. A routine check-up is very often carried out to assess the seric ionogram and kidney function after TKA, that rarely requires clinical intervention in the event of a disturbance. The aim of this study was to identify perioperative variables that would lead to the creation of a machine learning model predicting the risk of kalaemia disorders and/or acute kidney injury after total knee arthroplasty.

Article Synopsis
- Nanoplastics (NPs) are a significant concern for marine pollution, particularly affecting fish populations through ingestion.
- The study focused on the European sea bass, examining the effects of a 21-day diet containing polystyrene NPs on health indicators, finding no major liver enzymatic changes but a notable decrease in bactericidal activity in the serum.
- Results indicated that NPs influence critical biological processes linked to growth, immunity, and organ development, highlighting potential long-term risks for fish, especially during their vulnerable early stages.
Increased cerebral vascular resistance underlies preserved cerebral blood flow in response to orthostasis in humans on a high-salt diet.

Article Synopsis
- Cerebral blood flow autoregulation helps protect brain tissue by adjusting vascular resistance to maintain perfusion pressure, but a high-salt diet can impair this function.
- A study with 27 healthy participants compared the effects of a low-salt diet versus a high-salt diet on the middle cerebral artery's response to changes in position (orthostatic challenge).
- Findings indicated that while blood pressure remained normal during the high-salt diet, it resulted in increased cerebrovascular resistance and decreased sympathetic neural activity, affecting blood flow response to standing up.
Production and Purification of LTB-RBD: A Potential Antigen for Mucosal Vaccine Development against SARS-CoV-2.
Vaccines (Basel)

Facultad de Ciencias Químicas, Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí, Av. Dr. Manuel Nava 6, San Luis Potosí 78210, Mexico.
Most of the current SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are based on parenteral immunization targeting the S protein. Although protective, such vaccines could be optimized by inducing effective immune responses (neutralizing IgA responses) at the mucosal surfaces, allowing them to block the virus at the earliest stage of the infectious cycle. Herein a recombinant chimeric antigen called LTB-RBD is described, which comprises the B subunit of the heat-labile enterotoxin from and a segment of the RBD from SARS-CoV-2 (aa 439-504, carrying B and T cell epitopes) from the Wuhan sequence and the variant of concern (VOC)-delta.

One of the major challenges in improving sepsis care is early prediction of sepsis complications. The endocannabinoid system has been intensely studied in recent years; however, little is known about its role in sepsis in humans. This study aimed to assess the prognostic role of endocannabinoids, anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), as early predictors of mortality, invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) requirement, and length of stay (LOS) in patients with sepsis.
