Article Abstract

Psoas abscesses in children are not rare in tropical and sub-tropical countries and are related to staphylococcus aureus infection and poor socio-economic conditions. The condition should be considered in all children with the triad of pyrexia, flank pain and hip symptoms. Ultrasound is a readily available and definitive examination. Sonography was used in a series of 45 patients. The findings are discussed and two representative cases presented.

Background: This study aimed to compare the incidence of bleeding using two periodontal treatment protocols in patients with recent Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).

Material And Methods: This is an interim analysis of a double-blind controlled clinical trial evaluating two periodontal treatment schemes in patients with recent ACS treated with different dual antiplatelet regimens: Clopidogrel+ASA, Prasugrel+ASA and Ticagrelor+ASA. After randomisation six patients (22 quadrants) were treated with Scheme A (scaling and root planning-SRP) and six patients (21 quadrants) with Scheme B (ultrasonic scaling-US).

Objective: This study investigates the mechanism underlying sorafenib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HCC), focusing on DNA damage repair (DDR) pathways to develop targeted therapeutic strategies.

Methods: Bioinformatics analysis was used to screen genes associated with sorafenib resistance, which was further demonstrated by western blotting. Cell proliferation was determined using the EdU assay.

This study evaluated albendazole (ABZ) nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) for hepatocellular carcinoma treatment. ABZ-NLCs were prepared using emulsification-ultrasonication and optimised using a Box-Behnken design. Independent variables-lipids concentration (X), surfactant concentration (X), and sonication duration (X)-were assessed for their effect on mean diameter (Y), PDI (Y), and entrapment efficiency (Y).

Hydride (H) species on oxides have been extensively studied over the past few decades because of their critical role in various catalytic processes. Their syntheses require high temperatures and the presence of hydrogen, which involves complex equipment, high energy costs, and strict safety protocols. Hydride species tend to decompose in the presence of atmospheric oxygen and water, which reduces their catalytic activities.

Heavy metals and metalloids are the most common environmental pollutants. Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) is a standard operating procedure that is used to assess heavy metal and metalloid compositions, and evaluate the hazardous nature of waste and waste-derived materials for reuse or disposal, such as determining landfill suitability. However, TCLP and the following detections are time-consuming and require bulky laboratory-based instruments and trained personnel.
