Article Abstract
Objectives: We aim to present two cases of a retained insertion stylet from nasal feeding tube bridle systems.
Study Design: Case series of two patients.
Methods: Patients were evaluated from 8/2012 to 9/2013 for retained bridle system insertion stylet.
Results: Two patients presented with a retained stylet from nasal tube bridle system. The patients presented one day and two months after discharge from the hospital, respectively. They were both removed at the bedside.
Conclusions: Some institutions use a bridle system to secure nasal feeding tubes. Physicians must be aware of the insertion stylet as a potential source of a retained nasal foreign body.

Two key players in the immune system, dendritic cells (DCs) and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), interact in a crucial way to fight infectious diseases. DCs play a key role in recognizing pathogens, and ILCs respond to cytokines released by DCs. This response triggers the production of specific effector cytokines that help control pathogens and maintain the body's barrier integrity.

Waterborne pathogen detection is challenging, requiring effective target organisms enrichment to enable reliable and accurate monitoring of pathogens which could be present at low numbers. However, existing processes are manual, require operator expertise and are optimised for particular applications, e.g.

Sensory adaptation is widely hypothesized to drive ecological speciation, yet empirical evidence from natural populations undergoing early stage divergence remains limited. In Lake Masoko, a young crater lake in East Africa, the haplochromine cichlid Astatotilapia calliptera is undergoing early stage sympatric speciation into shallow-water littoral and deep-water benthic ecotypes that experience contrasting light environments. Here, we integrate retinal transcriptomics, phenotypic analyses, and visual modeling to uncover rapid sensory divergence associated with this ecological transition.

Background: Observations on mental health inpatient wards account for a large amount of staff time and cost to organisations. Ideally, observations should support meaningful engagement between staff and service users on wards, benefiting both the recovery of service users and the well-being of staff. However, observation practice is varied, and the therapeutic benefit it brings is questioned in some instances.

Dendritic cell (DC) vaccines stimulate the immune system to target cancer antigens, representing a promising option for immunotherapy. However, clinical trials have demonstrated limited effectiveness, emphasizing the need for enhanced immune responses. Improving the production of DC vaccines, assessing their impact on immune components, and observing responses could improve the results of DC-based therapies.
