CONCLUSIONS: Following bariatric surgery and the resulting weight loss, the obesity-associated perturbation of the monocyte compartment was largely reversed. Normalization of both the total monocyte pool and of monocyte subpopulations, particularly those with pro-inflammatory properties such as intermediate monocytes, could contribute to a risk reduction of known co-morbidities of obesity such as chronic inflammation, impaired glucose regulation, and an increased risk of cancer.
Reports of pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) occurring after COVID-19 vaccination continue to emerge, thus it is important to maintain a high index of suspicion for PRP in patients with new-onset cutaneous symptoms postvaccination.
Age is a well-known risk factor to develop severe viral respiratory infections, including severe COVID-19. This study aimed to identify the biological alterations linked to severe disease in elderly patients with COVID-19. For this purpose, we employed a derivation cohort with 450 SARS-CoV-2 infected and unvaccinated patients admitted to hospital wards and a validation cohort with 244 SARS-CoV-2 infected and unvaccinated patients admitted to hospital Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Twenty-one...
CONCLUSIONS: Fatigue in long-COVID represents severe, persistent disability comparable to observations in chronic inflammatory diseases and chronic fatigue syndrome but is not associated with traditional inflammatory biomarkers or cellular stress response proteins measured in peripheral blood. The absence of biomarker associations suggests that long-COVID fatigue may involve more complex mechanisms, potentially including persistent neuro-immune dysregulation, epigenetic changes, or...
CONCLUSIONS: The proposed q-qPCR algorithm can be incorporated into conventional qPCR workflows and may contribute to shortening assay runtime and improving sample turnaround time (TAT). By enabling earlier preliminary interpretation, this approach could support more timely triage and diagnostic response in time-sensitive infectious disease testing scenarios.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pathogenesis is shaped not only by viral entry mechanisms but also by interactions with host and microbial factors. The viral spike (S) protein can bind Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a driver of hyperinflammation in severe COVID-19. How viral evolution over the years alters this interaction remains unclear. Here, we investigated LPS binding across major SARS-CoV-2 variants that emerged over the course of the...
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with earlier research (2015-2019), the number of deep fungal infection cases from 2020 to 2024 has shown a significant and sustained increase. Moreover, the threat posed by Aspergillus and Cryptococcus has increased. Although clinical data remain limited, these findings provide valuable insights for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of deep fungal infections. Compared with earlier research (2015-2019), the number of deep fungal infection cases from 2020 to 2024 has...
Microbats are a large and ecologically important group of Australian mammalian fauna. However, their RNA virome diversity, as well as its ecological and evolutionary significance, has received limited study. We applied a metatranscriptomic approach to reveal more of the diversity of RNA viruses present in faeces from different microbat species in New South Wales and South Australia, including the critically endangered Southern bent-wing bat (Miniopterus schreibersii bassanii) from the Naracoorte...
CONCLUSION: Most population-based studies of AIBDs rely on administrative coding or electronic medical records, but few use formally validated case definitions. Improving and standardizing validation practices is important to enhance the accuracy and comparability of epidemiological findings in AIBDs.
CONCLUSIONS: Substantial disease heterogeneity, extensive corticosteroid reliance, and steep increases in healthcare costs with treatment escalation were observed, underscoring an urgent need for CHE-specific therapies capable of providing durable control and reducing inappropriate resource use.
The extra-intestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease are common, these can be encountered before the diagnosis of the gastrointestinal entity and can follow the course of their activity. Moreover, the use of new drugs including biological and immunosuppressive therapies adds additional associations in these patients. There is an association with pyoderma gangrenosum, erythema nodosum, Sweet syndrome, aphthous ulcers, hidradenitis suppurativa, vasculitis, lupus erythematosus-like...
Cross-modal fusion of medical imaging and laboratory data is a key pathway for accurate diagnosis of diseases, yet it is constrained by issues such as the modal heterogeneity gap, accumulation of feature redundancy, and efficiency imbalance. Existing methods struggle to balance precision and clinical adaptability, and some rely on simulated data leading to limited generalization ability. To address these challenges, we propose the Cross-Modal Alignment-Pruning Fusion model (CMAP-Fusion), which...
Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are increasingly recognized to present clinically with not just infection, but also symptoms of immune dysregulation including autoimmunity and severe atopy. IEI with atopy and autoimmunity can be grouped into 3 broad categories: 1) Cytoskeletal Impairments, 2) Cytokine Signaling Impairments, and 3) TCR Signaling Impairments. Additionally, Primary Immune Regulatory Disorders (PIRDS) are a subset of IEI that have been described with increasing frequency over the...
CONCLUSION: TLFM alleviates AD through a dual-targeting mechanism: by directly targeting MEK1 to suppress ERK1/2 in mast cells, and by inhibiting PDE4 to modulate macrophage-driven inflammation. Our study elucidates this novel dual-targeting mechanism, providing a scientific basis for the traditional use of Magnolia biondii Pamp. and proposing its lignans as a promising multi-targeted natural therapy for AD.
