Non-traumatic Myositis Ossificans Mimicking Infected Hip in Children: Two Case Reports and Review of the Literature.

We present two pediatric cases of nontraumatic myositis ossificans (MO), which initially mimicked infections, leading to unnecessary treatments. The first case involves an 11-year-old boy with acute left hip pain and swelling, misdiagnosed as a hip joint infection and treated with antibiotics before histology confirmed MO. The second case is a two-year-old girl who presented with limping and restricted hip movement, initially suspected to have septic arthritis.

Silver nanoparticles enhance the mitigation of osmotic stress in Chenopodium quinoa microshoots grown under in vitro osmo-stressing conditions.

Osmotic stress is one of the main destructive abiotic factors that hinder plant growth and development. In this research, the role of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) in mitigating the negative impact of osmotic stress on in vitro grown Chenopodium quinoa (Quinoa 6 Line; Q6) was investigated to determine whether Ag NPs were able to reduce the negative effects on the in vitro grown cultures of the Q6 line. The explants were subcultured onto a special osmostressing media containing sucrose, sorbitol, or mannitol at different levels (0.
