Over 63% of schoolchildren in rural Ghana's Tokuroano area had intestinal parasitic infections, mainly Ascaris, Hookworm, and Giardia. Poor sanitation, unsafe water, and poor hygiene were key risks. Protective factors included home‐cooked meals and health education. Integrated deworming, sanitation, and education programs are urgently needed to address

Identifying Drugs Associated With Parkinson's Disease Risk Using Machine Learning
ABSTRACT Machine learning (ML)–based methods have been proposed as a potential approach for identifying candidate drugs to be repurposed as disease‐modifying treatments for Parkinson's disease (PD). We applied an ML‐based signal detection method to identify drugs associated with PD and evaluated the method's generalizability.

Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis—Presentation and progression
Summary Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) remains one of the most frequently diagnosed neurological disorders of horses in North America, caused primarily by Sarcocystis neurona and less commonly Neospora hughesi. The clinical presentation is highly variable due to multifocal involvement of both grey and white matter, with asymmetric ataxia and ...

Management of Haws Syndrome in Cats With Gastrointestinal Diet: A Case Series
ABSTRACT Background Haws syndrome (HS) in cats is characterized by bilateral protrusion of the third eyelid and ptosis, often accompanied by gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms such as diarrhea. Emerging evidence suggests disruption of the gut‐brain axis, linked to GI microbiota dysbiosis, may play a role in HS development.

Solution structures of a series of cyclic lipodepsipeptides from Pseudomonas reveal that these specialized metabolites adopt left‐handed alpha helical conformations of only two types, being either ‘stapled’ or ‘catch‐pole’ helix. The particular modular distribution of the biosynthetic gene clusters is found to determine the extent of their conserved ...
