CONCLUSIONS: Early life undernutrition may be associated with lower induction or persistence of antibody responses to certain vaccines. Addressing child undernutrition may improve vaccine efficacy and reduce the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases.

Trypanosomatids are the causative agents of deadly diseases in humans and livestock. Given the high phylogenetic distance of trypanosomatids from model organisms, these organisms have ample unannotated genes. Manual functional annotation is time-consuming, highlighting the importance of automated functional annotation tools. The development of automated functional tools is a hot research topic, and multiple tools have been developed for the task. PANNZER2 is an automated functional annotation...

CONCLUSIONS: The intervention attained targets across all studied implementation outcomes. Qualitative findings highlighted the importance of stakeholder engagement. Telehealth tools have potential for the remote follow-up of acute health conditions.

The model organism Caenorhabditis elegans and its relationship with the gut microbiome are gaining traction, especially for the study of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's Disease (PD). Gut microbes are known to be able to alter kynurenine metabolites in the host, directly influencing innate immunity in C. elegans. While the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPR^(mt)) was first characterized in C. elegans in 2007, its relevance in host-microbiome interactions has only become...

Over the last few decades, malaria-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained increasing interest due to their role in disease pathophysiology and parasite biology. Unlike other EV research fields, the isolation of malaria EVs is not standardized, hampering inter-study comparisons. Most malaria EV studies isolate vesicles by the "gold-standard" technique of differential (ultra)centrifugation (DC). Here, we describe in detail an optimized and reproducible protocol for the isolation of...

BACKGROUND: The most recent exacerbation of COPD (ECOPD) classification criteria relies in part on changes in respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR) and oxygen saturation (SpO(2)). Despite this paradigm shift, a thorough understanding of exacerbation patterns is still lacking, as is the identification of physiological exacerbation biomarkers.

Slow progress towards implementation of conventional clinical bacteriology in low resource settings and strong interest in greater speed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) more generally has focused attention on next-generation rapid AST technologies. In this Review, we systematically synthesize publications and submissions to regulatory agencies describing technologies that provide phenotypic AST faster than conventional methods. We characterize over ninety technologies in terms of...

CONCLUSIONS: Both LAIV3- and IIV3-elicited HA antibodies are associated with protection against influenza infection in seasons when the vaccine strains match the circulating influenza strain subtypes, supporting the use of HAI as a correlate of protection for both vaccine types in children.

BACKGROUND: The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare systems emphasized the need for rapid and effective triage tools to identify patients at risk of severe or fatal infection. Measuring host response markers of inflammation and endothelial activation at clinical presentation may help to inform appropriate triage and care practices in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The growing volumes of microbiome studies over the past decade have revealed a wide repertoire of microbial associations under diverse conditions. Microbes produce small molecules to interact with each other as well as to modulate their environments. Their metabolic profiles hold the key to understanding these association patterns for translational applications. Based on this concept, we developed MicrobiomeNet, a comprehensive database that integrates microbial associations with their metabolic...

We used cross-sectional data from 226 patients with monkeypox virus to investigate the association between anatomic exposure site and lesion development. Penile, anorectal, and oral exposures predicted lesion presence at correlating anatomic sites. Exposure site also predicted the first lesion site of the penis and anus.

HumanIslets.com supports diabetes research by offering easy access to islet phenotyping data, analysis tools, and data download. It includes molecular omics, islet and cellular function assays, tissue processing metadata, and phenotypes from 547 donors. As it expands, the resource aims to improve human islet data quality, usability, and accessibility.

This study focuses on the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the extract of Aphania senegalensis leaves. The extraction was done using maceration at room temperature in water for 48 h. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by IR, XRD, TEM, and SEM. The thermal stability of these nanoparticles was studied by TGA. The zeta potential was used to define the size, charge distribution, and stability of the nanoparticles. Optimization reactions were carried out based on reaction...

Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that may colonise and proliferate in human stomachs, leading invariably to chronic inflammation and, to a lesser extent, to peptic ulcers and cancer. The main objective of this study is to describe the epidemiology surrounding H. pylori in Nunavik's Inuit population using the 2004 and 2017 Health Surveys. Estimated prevalences were 70.9% for bacterial colonisation using a stool antigens test (SAT), 72.5% for anti-H. pylori antibodies, 12.7% for faecal occult...

The phytochemical screening showed that the Moringa oleifera (MO) extract contained many compounds such as polyphenols, polyterpenes, sterols, reducing sugars, and hydrolysates tannins. The MICs of MO extract for microbial strains is 0.73 mg/ml for Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 7.5 mg/ml for Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus and 0.5 mg/ml for Candida albicans. The MO extract has an IC(50) of 3.403 mg/ml has an antioxidant activity by DPPH radical scavenging. The cytotoxic...

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory diseases in which abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, weight loss, and fatigue collectively result in diminished quality of patient life. The disappearance of intestinal helminth infections in Western societies is associated with an increased prevalence of IBD and other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Evidence indicates that helminths induce tolerogenic dendritic cells (tolDCs), which promote intestinal tolerance and attenuate...

CONCLUSIONS: Doubling the antibody testing rates, along with increased RNA testing and treatment rates, showed promise in meeting the WHO's goals by 2035.

CONCLUSIONS: Genomics alone is insufficient to establish MABC transmission, particularly considering the genetic similarity and wide distribution of DCCs, although pan-genome analysis has the potential to add further insight. Our findings indicate that MABC infections in Montr茅al are unlikely attributable to healthcare-associated person-to-person transmission.
