    Abstract Osteoblastoma is a primary bone-forming tumour that usually occurs in the second decade with an affinity to the posterior elements when found in the spine. Its occurrence in the early first decade is uncommon and often causes a diagnostic dilemma. It usually has a late presentation and the symptoms may be non-specific which may lead the clinician to overlook this particular entity. We present a case of osteoblastoma of the posterior elements of the C5 vertebra in a pre-adolescent child who was diagnosed and successfully managed with surgical resection in a timely fashion that led to favourable recovery postoperatively.

    Abstract A 36-year-old lady presented with fever, cough, maculopapular rash, painless sialadenitis, episcleritis, and arthralgia of more than 10 months, occurring in episodes since she tested positive for COVID-19 in 2020. Her symptoms were well controlled with corticosteroid and immunosuppressant therapy. Her clinical presentation and findings on bronchoscopy resembled that of sarcoidosis. However, the bronchial biopsy histopathology ruled out sarcoidosis. An increased serum immunoglobulin G4 level and its possible association with COVID-19 raises the question of whether the possibility of immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) could be entertained.

    Abstract Objective: Despite inherent comorbidities, obese cardiac surgical patients paradoxically had shown lower morbidity and mortality, although the nature of this association is still unclear. Thus, the authors intended in this large registry-based study to investigate the impact of obesity on short- and long-term postoperative outcomes, focusing on bleeding and transfusion requirements.
    Design: Retrospective registry study.
    Setting: Three university hospitals.
    Participants: A cohort of 12,330 prospectively compiled data from coronary bypass grafting patients undergoing surgery between 2007 to 2020 were retrieved from the Western Denmark Heart Registry.
    Interventions: The parameters were analyzed to assess the association between body mass index (BMI) and the selected outcome parameters.
    Measurements and main results: The crude data showed a clear statistically significant association in postoperative drainage from 637 (418-1108) mL in underweight patients with BMI <18.5 kg/m
    Conclusion: Patients with high BMI may carry protection against postoperative bleeding after cardiac surgery, probably secondary to an inherent hypercoagulable state, whereas underweight patients carry a higher risk of bleeding and worse outcomes.

    Abstract Small vessel disease is characterized by global dysfunction of the microvascular system leading to reduced perfusion of various organ systems. The kidney is significantly vulnerable for microvascular dysfunction given its intricate capillary network and extensive endocrine influence. Studies have demonstrated a relationship between impaired renal function and small vessel disease in other organ systems, particularly the heart. Here we discuss the relationship between the kidney and the heart in the setting of microvascular dysfunction and identify areas of future study to better understand this relationship and potentially identify novel therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract Numerous proteomic and transcriptomic studies have been carried out to better understand the current multi-variant SARS-CoV-2 virus mechanisms of action and effects. However, they are mostly centered on mRNAs and proteins. The effect of the virus on human post-transcriptional regulatory agents such as microRNAs (miRNAs), which are involved in the regulation of 60% of human gene activity, remains poorly explored. Similar to research we have previously undertaken with other viruses such as Ebola and HIV, in this study we investigated the miRNA profile of lung epithelial cells following infection with SARS-CoV-2. At the 24 and 72 h post-infection time points, SARS-CoV-2 did not drastically alter the miRNome. About 90% of the miRNAs remained non-differentially expressed. The results revealed that miR-1246, miR-1290 and miR-4728-5p were the most upregulated over time. miR-196b-5p and miR-196a-5p were the most downregulated at 24 h, whereas at 72 h, miR-3924, miR-30e-5p and miR-145-3p showed the highest level of downregulation. In the top significantly enriched KEGG pathways of genes targeted by differentially expressed miRNAs we found, among others, MAPK, RAS, P13K-Akt and renin secretion signaling pathways. Using RT-qPCR, we also showed that SARS-CoV-2 may regulate several predicted host mRNA targets involved in the entry of the virus into host cells (ACE2, TMPRSS2, ADAM17, FURIN), renin-angiotensin system (RAS) (Renin, Angiotensinogen, ACE), innate immune response (IL-6, IFN1β, CXCL10, SOCS4) and fundamental cellular processes (AKT, NOTCH, WNT). Finally, we demonstrated by dual-luciferase assay a direct interaction between miR-1246 and ACE-2 mRNA. This study highlights the modulatory role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2.

    Abstract Microalgae are unicellular organisms and commonly present in the euphotic zone of marine ecosystems. From the western coast of Mauritius, three strains of Prorocentrum species were isolated from macrophytes and cultured under standard laboratory conditions. Morphologies were examined by light, fluorescence, and scanning electron microscopy, and phylogenetic analyses were based on partial large subunit LSU rDNA (D1-D2) and ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS) regions. Three Prorocentrum species, including the P. fukuyoi complex, P. rhathymum, and P. lima complex, were identified. The antimicrobial activities were assayed against potential human pathogenic bacterial strains. The highest zone of inhibition was recorded for intracellular and extracellular protein extracts of Prorocentrum rhathymum against Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The polysaccharide extracts of the Prorocentrum fukuyoi complex had a higher zone of inhibition (24 ± 0.4 mm) against MRSA at a minimum concentration of 0.625 μg/mL. The extracts from the three Prorocentrum species had different levels of activity against the pathogens used, and this can be of scientific interest in the search for antibiotics from natural marine sources.
