Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), encompassing Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD), are chronic inflammatory disorders affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The association between IBD and colorectal cancer (CRC) is well-documented. Multiple factors have been identified as contributors to the risk of developing CRC in patients with IBD, including duration of disease, disease extension, family history of CRC, co-existance of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and potentially the presence of post-inflammatory polyps (PIPs).

Maximizing H Production from a Combination of Catalytic Partial Oxidation of CH and Water Gas Shift Reaction.

Molecules

January 2025

The Joint Graduate School of Energy and Environment, CHE Center for Energy Technology and Environment, King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi, 126 Pracha Uthit Rd., Bang Mod, Thung Khru, Bangkok 10140, Thailand.

A single-bed and dual-bed catalyst system was studied to maximize H production from the combination of partial oxidation of CH and water gas shift reaction. In addition, the different types of catalysts, including Ni, Cu, Ni-Re, and Cu-Re supported on gadolinium-doped ceria (GDC) were investigated under different operating conditions of temperature (400-650 °C). Over Ni-based catalysts, methane can easily dissociate on a Ni surface to give hydrogen and carbon species.

Mancozeb (MZ), an EBDC fungicide, has been found to contaminate agricultural products and cause male reproductive toxicity. The phytochemical compounds of white petal extract (WNPE) and its effects on metabolomic profiles and reproductive function in male rats poisoned with MZ were investigated. Seventy-two mature male Wistar rats were divided into nine groups ( = 8) and, for 30 days, were gavaged with WNPE at doses of 0.

Inborn Errors of Immunity Presenting with Early-Onset Severe Atopy.

Medicina (Kaunas)

January 2025

Division of Allergy/Immunology, Department of Pediatrics, Jackson Memorial Holtz Children's Hospital, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL 33136, USA.

Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs), also known as primary immunodeficiencies, are a group of genetic disorders affecting the development and function of the immune system. While IEIs traditionally present with recurrent infections, an increasing number of cases manifest with early-onset severe atopy, including atopic dermatitis, food allergies, asthma, and allergic rhinitis-features that are often overlooked. This can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment, which is crucial for IEI patients due to the risk of severe infections.
