Inactivation of Plasmodium falciparum in whole blood by riboflavin plus irradiation.

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Malaria parasites are frequently transmitted by unscreened blood transfusions in Africa. Pathogen reduction methods in whole blood would thus greatly improve blood safety.

4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase in malaria parasites and enhances atovaquone efficacy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

Culture Positive Brucella Endocarditis in a Case of Baloon Mitral Valvotomy [PDF]

, 2011
Brucella endocarditis is a rare condition which occurs as a focal complication in chronic brucellosis cases. We report a rare brucella endocarditis case in a RVHD patient. A 26 years old male was admitted with fever on off for almost one year.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Semi-nested polymerase chain reaction over blood culture in detection of bloodstream fungal infection in leukemic children with febrile neutropenia

Journal of Applied Hematology, 2020
BACKGROUND: Children with hematologic malignancies are currently at a severe threat of developing bloodstream fungal infection (BSFI). The early detection of BSFI followed by appropriate management of these patients remains a challenge to the oncologist ...

Prevalence of peripheral venous cannula-related colonization and infections in pediatric intensive care unit: A single-center observational study

Journal of Pediatric Critical Care, 2022
Background: Intravenous (IV) access exposes patients to risk of catheter-related infections. The source of infection is either microbial colonization of the cannula or contamination of the hub or drugs.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative
