Bioengineered Extracellular Vesicles Mitigate Neuroinflammation by Neutralizing Pneumolysin and Delaying Disease Onset in Experimental Pneumococcal Meningitis

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacterial meningitis is a life‐threatening neurological disorder frequently caused by a Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) infection of the brain. Standard treatment consists of antibiotics to eliminate bacteria and dexamethasone to reduce inflammation.

Greater Cochlear Damage in Otogenic Versus Meningogenic Meningitis: Hearing Rehabilitation Implications

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 9, Page 3998-4005, September 2026.
Otogenic route of meningitis was associated with greater cochlear hair cell loss in comparison with the meningogenic one in this otopathology study. Neuronal depletion has been traditionally implicated in failed hearing rehabilitation of post‐meningitis deafness.

Effect of the Jeffries Simulation Framework on the Core Competence of New Graduate Paediatric Surgery Nurses: A Quasi‐Experimental Study

Nursing Open, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Newly graduated paediatric surgery nurses must be able to identify and handle potential risks to ensure patient safety. It is necessary to reinforce their understanding of their roles and responsibilities to achieve this goal. However, the limitations of traditional classroom‐based teaching hinder the exploration of learners' potential ...

Clinical Value of Metagenomic Next‐Generation Sequencing Versus Conventional Methods in Diagnosing Cryptococcal Infection After Kidney Transplantation

Organ Medicine, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 130-138, September 2026.
This retrospective study evaluated metagenomic next‑generation sequencing (mNGS) against conventional methods (India ink, culture, antigen) for diagnosing cryptococcal infection in 16 kidney transplant recipients. mNGS showed a significantly higher positivity rate (93.8% vs 62.5%, p = 0.031) and shorter turnaround time (24 vs. 120 h, p < 0.001).

Quaternary structures of Streptococcus pneumoniae nucleoside diphosphate kinase: From hexamers to supramolecular assemblies

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) is a key enzyme that controls the balance of nucleotide pools in all living organisms. Beyond this fundamental role, NDKs exert pleiotropic effects in many cellular processes, including cell development, signal transduction, differentiation, tumor metastasis, and gene expression. The quaternary structure

Fractal–fractional model for analysis of tuberculosis infection using Ethiopia incidence data

Quantitative Biology, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract In this study, a fractional‐order SEIuITR $SE{I}_{u}ITR$ model was proposed to examine the transmission of tuberculosis (TB) in the community. The proposed model was rigorously examined for well‐posedness. The basic reproduction number was also derived, and the disease‐free equilibrium was obtained.

How Do Climatic Factors Directly Influence the Incidence and Risk of Meningococcal Meningitis Across the African Meningitis Belt? A Narrative Literature Review

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Globally, the highest incidence of meningococcal meningitis occurs within the African meningitis belt, spanning 26 countries across sub‐Saharan Africa. Meningococcal meningitis incidence is highly seasonal in this region specifically, with outbreaks mostly occurring during the dry season, characterized by low rainfall and atmospheric humidity,
