Percutaneous transcatheter closure has gained acceptance for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) management ever since its introduction, including the management residual left-to-right shunts following surgical ligations. It is preferred than the more invasive surgical closure. While large PDA is closed to prevent heart failure, the decision to close a…[Read more]

Three systematic reviews investigated the effect of probiotics given during pregnancy or infancy; although low-quality evidence suggests benefits of combined probiotics, these studies were limited by significant heterogeneity. No relationship between the age at which complementary food and beverages are introduced and the risk of developing AE in…[Read more]

However, the 2018 extreme drought caused the unmanaged mesocosms under the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 switch from a net CO2 sink to a source during summer. Surprisingly, the unmanaged mesocosms under RCP 2.6 benefited from the warmer climate, and served as the best sink among the other unmanaged systems. Water level management had the greatest effect on…[Read more]

On the molecular level it significantly inhibited the effector transcript RNA III. In vivo testing, using the murine skin abscess model, confirmed the ability of staquorsin to modulate S. aureus virulence by effectively controlling the infection. Twenty passages of S. aureus in the presence of 40 μM staquorsin have not resulted in loss of…[Read more]
