Genome analysis of Halomonas shambharensis, a novel species, was performed to understand the osmoprotectant strategies used by the strain to overcome the salinity stress and to explore the prospective industrial uses. It will also help to better understand the ecological roles of Halomonas species in hypersaline habitats. Ultrastructure of the cell was determined by using transmission electron microscopy. Standard microbiological methods were used to find out growth parameters and heterotrophic mode of nutrition. For Genome analysis, complete bacterial genome sequencing was performed using the Oxford Nanopore MinION DNA Sequencer. Assembly, annotation and finishing of the obtained sequence were done by using a Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) (SPAdes v. 3.10.1). Predicted Coading sequences (CDSs) obtained through the PGAP were used for functional annotation using Clusters of Orthologous Groups and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) platforms. The H. shambharensis was found to be a Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, motile with a peritrichous flagella. The H. Tanespimycin nmr shambharensis bacterium can grow in a wide range of temperature (from 25 to 65 °C), pH (pH 4 to pH 12.0) and salt concentration (5.0% NaCl to 30.0% NaCl). After annotation and assembly, the total genome size obtained was 1,533,947 bp, which revealed 146 subsystems, 3847 coding sequences, and 19RNAs with G+C content of 63.6%. Gene annotation identified the genes related to various metabolic pathways, including carbohydrate metabolism, fatty acid metabolism and stress tolerance. The genomic dataset of H. shambharensis will be useful for analysis of protein-coding gene families and how these coding genes are significant for the survival and metabolism among the different species of Halomonas. The complete genome sequence presented here will help to unravel the biotechnological potential of H. shambharensis for production of the high-value products such as betaine, or as a source of gene-mining for individual enzymes.

Hydrocephalus is diagnosed when an accumulating amount of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fails to circulate and/or absorbed in the ventricular system. Based on its etiology, hydrocephalus can be classified into infectious and non-infectious hydrocephalus. In children, non-infectious hydrocephalus includes congenital hydrocephalus, posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus, neural tube defect-related hydrocephalus, and tumor-related hydrocephalus. Regardless of the cause, a CSF diversion device is placed to divert the excess fluid from the ventricles into peritoneal cavity. Among all, ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt is arguably the most commonly used CSF diversion device to date. Until now, the long-term neurodevelopmental impact of VP shunt placement in non-infectious hydrocephalus patients remained unclear.

This study aims to evaluate the neurodevelopmental outcomes in children with non-infectious hydrocephalus who had VP shunt placement.

Systematic searches were performed using PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus databasesric score and have significantly higher risk of motor development delay compared to control. Although normal children tend to have more internalizing behavior compared to S-NIH children, overall assessment on the risk of behavioral abnormalities showed that the differences between these two groups are insignificant.

S-NIH children have significantly higher risks of disabilities and mental and motoric development delays; thus, planning on continuous rehabilitation for children with non-infectious hydrocephalus who already had placement of VP shunt is important to acquire their optimum potentials and quality of life.

Despite the identification of mutations in more than 39 genes as causing SRNS, and the localization of its pathogenesis to glomerular podocytes, the disease mechanisms of SRNS remain poorly understood and no universally safe and effective therapy exists to treat patients with this condition. Recently, genetic research has identified a subgroup of SRNS patients whose kidney pathology is caused by primary coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) deficiency due to recessive mutations in genes that encode proteins in the CoQ10 biosynthesis pathway. Clinical and preclinical studies show that primary CoQ10 deficiency may be responsive to treatment with CoQ10 supplements bypassing the biosynthesis defects. Coenzyme Q10 is an essential component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, where it transports electrons from complexes I and II to complex III. Studies in yeast and mammalian model systems have recently identified the molecular functions of the individual CoQ10 biosynthesis complex proteins, validated these findings, and provided an impetus for developing therapeutic compounds to replenish CoQ10 levels in the tissues/organs and thus prevent the destruction of tissues due to mitochondrial OXPHOS deficiencies. In this review, we will summarize the clinical findings of the kidney pathophysiology of primary CoQ10 deficiencies and discuss recent advances in the development of therapies to counter CoQ10 deficiency in tissues.

Previous studies in non-critically ill hospitalized pediatric patients have shown that daily serum creatinine monitoring for the development of nephrotoxic medication-associated acute kidney injury decreases both the rate of high nephrotoxic medication exposure and associated acute kidney injury. Attempts to spread this successful screening program have been met with concerns that daily serum creatinine monitoring in critically ill neonates with high-risk nephrotoxic medication exposure would lead to iatrogenic anemia and an increase in blood transfusion requirements.

We measured blood transfusion rates while implementing a system of daily serum creatinine monitoring in critically ill neonates at risk for high nephrotoxic medication-associated acute kidney injury.

There was no correlation between blood transfusion rates and serum creatinine monitoring rates.

We recommend that critically ill neonates identified as having high-risk nephrotoxic medication exposure undergo daily screening for the development of nephrotoxic medication-associated acute kidney injury.
