Paediatric acute liver failure: A prospective, nationwide, population-based surveillance study in Germany. [PDF]

J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr
Abstract Objectives Paediatric acute liver failure (PALF) is a rare but life‐threatening condition, yet comprehensive epidemiological data in Germany are lacking. Our study aimed to systematically analyse incidence, aetiology, and outcome of PALF in Germany.

Mechanical and Structural Characterization of Pineapple Leaf Fiber

Fibers, 2021
Evidence-based research had shown that elevated alkali treatment of pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) compromised the mechanical properties of the fiber. In this work, PALF was subjected to differential alkali concentrations: 1, 3, 6, and 9% wt/wt to study the

Absence of Pupillary Reflexes in Pediatric Acute Liver Failure and Neurological Outcome After Liver Transplantation. [PDF]

Pediatr Transplant
We analyzed a retrospective, observational cohort of 51 patients with pediatric acute liver failure with severe hepatic encephalopathy (grade III‐IV), admitted between 1993 and 2023. The survival rate in patients with present PR was higher compared to patients with absent PR (70% and 29%, respectively).

Synergistic Toughening of Epoxy Composite with Cellulose Nanofiber and Continuous Pineapple Leaf Fiber as Sustainable Reinforcements

Nanomaterials, 2023
In this work, the effect of cellulose nanofiber (CNF) on the mechanical properties of long pineapple leaf fiber (PALF)-reinforced epoxy composites was investigated. The content of PALF was fixed at 20 wt.% and the CNF content was varied at 1, 3, and 5 wt.

Characterization and Spinning Performance of Pineapple Leaf Fibers: An Economic and Sustainable Approach for Bangladesh

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2021
The by-products of pineapple fruits such as stems and leaves are generally considered as agro-wastes, but these wastes can be used as raw materials for reinforced fibre, yarn and eventually in fabric formation.

A Novel PCK1 Gene Variant Associated With Cytosolic Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Deficiency: Two Siblings With Different Clinical Presentations. [PDF]

JIMD Rep
ABSTRACT Cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK‐C) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive gluconeogenesis disorder caused by variants in the PCK1 gene. Clinically, PEPCK‐C deficiency is characterized by recurrent episodes of fasting‐induced hypoglycemia, liver dysfunction, and seizures, with the first hypoglycemic episode typically ...
