Cytotoxicity analysis revealed that Ta-MBGs had no effect on bovine fibroblast viability. Furthermore, a reduction in both APTT (a test to evaluate the intrinsic pathway of coagulation) and PT (a test to evaluate the extrinsic pathway) signified enhancement of hemostasis 5Ta caused a significant reduction in APTT compared to 'no treatment', 1Ta and 10Ta and a significant reduction in PT compared to 0Ta. Therefore, we conclude that 5mol% of Ta optimised the hemostatic properties of these mesoporous bioactive glasses.The search for bone substitutes that are biodegradable, ensure space maintenance, and have osteogenic predictability, is ongoing in the field of sinus augmentation. We thus compared the bone regeneration potential of nanostructured sponges (NS-Sponge) with that of collagen-stabilized inorganic bovine bones (BO-Collagen), gelatin sponges (Gelatin), and blood clots (Cont) in sinus augmentation of rabbits. NS-Sponge was prepared by thermally induced phase separation with porogen leaching techniques. All the materials were non-hemolytic and cytocompatible. The porous and nanofibrous NS-Sponge showed better dimensional stability to support cell growth and osteogenic differentiation. In vivo, the sinus membrane collapsed in Cont and Gelatin, while BO-Collagen and NS-Sponge maintained the elevated height as assessed by come-beam computed tomography. Limited bone regeneration was observed in Cont and Gelatin. In the entire implanted area, histological analysis revealed a higher percentage of new bone area at 4 weeks of BO-Collagen treatment; however, a significantly greater increase in new bone area was observed after 12 weeks of NS-Sponge treatment. The 12-week remnant NS-Sponge material was significantly lower than the 4-week remnant material. Overall, NS-Sponge may be highly recommended for sinus augmentation, as it exhibits numerous advantages, including excellent operability, clear imaging characteristics, space maintenance, biodegradability, and superior osteogenic potential.This commentary provides an overview and links to presentations of a recent virtual congress series organized by the International Society for Vaccines (ISV) focused on COVID-19 vaccines. The series provided the academic community and vaccine developers as well as the wider general public with balanced information of the global response and resources for COVID-19 vaccines under development featuring 1) NGOs and the regulatory perspective, 2) the status of vaccine development efforts, and 3) panel discussions to present and discuss challenges. ISV is a non-profit scientific organization whose members work on all areas relevant to vaccines. ISV plans to host additional virtual symposia including regional meetings and incorporating other topics along with COVID-19 vaccines.
To study the clinical presentation, disease characteristics, and management approach for children with thyroid eye disease (TED) over a 10 year period in a multidisciplinary Paediatric Thyroid Eye Disease Clinic at a tertiary care referral center.

Retrospective case series of patients with TED at Kandang Kerbau Women's and Children's Hospital (KKWCH) Singapore between August 2006 to June 2015. The diagnosis of TED was clinical based on the Bartley criteria. Smad phosphorylation Ophthalmic examination findings, systemic thyroid function and ophthalmological intervention were recorded.

Nineteen subjects with pediatric TED were studied. The median age at diagnosis was 12.5years (range 6-17). The onset of TED was at the same time as their thyroid disease in half of these patients (52.6%) of which all were hyperthyroid except one. The most common signs at TED diagnosis were proptosis (84.2%), lid retraction (63.2%), acquired epiblepharon (63.2%). All patients were inactive and none had evidence of compressive optic neuropathy. TED remained stable in all patients except for one who developed worsening proptosis with exposure keratopathy. No patients were prescribed steroids (oral or intravenous) or had orbital decompression surgery. The most debilitating morbidity was acquired epiblepharon of which out of 12 patients, one had everting sutures and three were offered surgical correction.

Paediatric TED subjects exhibit milder clinical manifestations compared to adults. Acquired epiblepharon causes most significant visual morbidity by compromising the corneal surface. Being cognizant of the subtleties of pediatric TED will permit the discerning clinician to effectively manage such cases accordingly.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating inflammatory disorder with variable clinical and pathologic characteristics reflecting multiple underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms. Repositioning of existing drugs for the new indications offers several advantages including significant reduction in the cost and time of drug development and exemption from early phase clinical trials. Minocycline has been reported to exhibit immunomodulation in several pre-clinical and clinical studies through suppression of migratory inflammatory cells, modulation of peripheral immune response, and inhibition of microglial activation within the CNS.

Here, the authors review the repositioning potential of minocycline for the treatment of MS along with appraisal of the evidence obtained from preclinical and clinical research. The authors also discuss the advantages and potential safety concerns related to the use of minocycline for the management of MS.

Minocycline offers several distinct advantages in terms of well-known safety profile, lower cost of therapy, widespread availability, and being available as an oral formulation. The authors call upon the public and private funders to facilitate well designed and adequately powered randomized clinical trials that can provide conclusive evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of minocycline in patients with MS.
