From Diagnostic Challenge to Clinical Success: Rapid Multiplex PCR Identification of Cryptosporidium in HIV‐Associated Refractory Diarrhea: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Cryptosporidiosis remains a challenge in people with HIV despite its decreased incidence in developed countries. We report a case of severe diarrhea in a person with HIV where Gram stain findings prioritized cryptosporidium in the differential diagnosis.

The Molecular Interplay Between Helicobacter pylori Infection and Ulcerative Colitis: Unraveling Shared Biomarkers and Pathway Networks

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection show an intriguing inverse epidemiological association, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear, with emerging evidence suggesting H. pylori may modulate colonic inflammation via systemic immune regulation. Methods We used bioinformatics approaches,

The Intersection of m6A Methylation and Immune Response in PCOS: A Bioinformatics Perspective

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
N6‐methyladenosine RNA methylation regulators are intricately linked with the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and may influence immune cell infiltration in affected individuals. This study enhances our understanding of the molecular interactions in PCOS and suggests potential biomarkers for diagnosis and targets for therapeutic ...

Involvement of the actin cytoskeleton and p21rho-family GTPases in the pathogenesis of the human protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
It has been estimated that infection with the enteric protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica kills more than 50,000 people a year. Central to the pathogenesis of this organism is its ability to directly lyse host cells and cause tissue destruction ...
