Renal Lipidosis in Horses and Donkeys: 25 Cases (2008–2022)
ABSTRACT Background Renal lipidosis is a well‐documented histologic finding in humans and small animals with renal and metabolic disorders, but it is not well described in equids. Objective To describe the signalment, clinicopathologic indices, and postmortem findings of equids with a histologic diagnosis of both hepatic and renal lipidosis (HL + RL ...

Difficulties in Diagnosing Food-Borne Botulism
Botulism is a muscle-paralyzing disease caused by neurotoxins (types A–G) produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Symptoms of food-borne botulism most commonly appear 12–36 h after eating contaminated food, but the earliest neurological symptoms ...

The Role of Speech Therapy in Sialorrhea Management and Quality of Life: A Retrospective Study
Pediatric sialorrhea impacts the quality of life of both patients and their caregivers. An intensive speech therapy regimen of four sessions per week for 3 weeks is more effective in improving quality of life than a less intensive regimen of two sessions per week for 3 months.

The outbreak of botulism reported here occurred in January, 1920, in an Italian family, living in the Bronx, New York City. The source of the toxin was shown to be a glass jar of factory packed California ripe olives. These olives, consumed as such and also as part of a salad, caused the death of six of the seven members of the family who ate of them ...

The ecology of botulinum neurotoxin‐producing Clostridia bacteria and their non‐toxinogenic phylogenetic counterparts remains unclear. This study explored the current literature, mine > 5000 SRA samples, and provide a pilot feeding experiment in a butterfly, to propose evidence of the interconnection between Clostridia and insects.

Asymmetric Type F Botulism with Cranial Nerve Demyelination
We report a case of type F botulism in a patient with bilateral but asymmetric neurologic deficits. Cranial nerve demyelination was found during autopsy. Bilateral, asymmetric clinical signs, although rare, do not rule out botulism.

Aptamer and DNAzyme Based Colorimetric Biosensors for Pathogen Detection
Pathogen detection is crucial for preventing and managing health risks. This review consolidates the selection of functional nucleic acids (FNAs) for pathogen detection and the development of cost‐effective, simple diagnostic applications. It focuses on integrating FNAs with gold nanoparticles, polydiacetylenes, protein enzymes, G‐quadruplexes, and ...
