Immune Evasion Strategies of Relapsing Fever Spirochetes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Relapsing fever (RF) is claimed a neglected arthropod-borne disease caused by a number of diverse human pathogenic Borrelia (B.) species. These RF borreliae are separated into the groups of tick-transmitted species including B. duttonii, B.

The Staphylococcus aureus protein Sbi acts as a complement inhibitor and forms a tripartite complex with host complement Factor H and C3b.

PLoS Pathogens, 2008
The Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, similar to other pathogens, binds human complement regulators Factor H and Factor H related protein 1 (FHR-1) from human serum.

First‐Trimester Crown‐Rump Length and Large for Gestational Age Newborns: What Correlation?

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Our research found for the first time that uneventful pregnancies with LGA neonates are characterized by larger than expected CRL at the first trimester. CRL is one of the new markers that can be used to early identify fetuses at risk of increased fetal growth.

Posterior Interosseous Nerve Palsy in a 43‐Year‐Old Patient: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT A 43‐year‐old male presented with subacute severe right posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) palsy, wrist drop, pustular lesions, and elevated ESR. Electrodiagnostic studies revealed axonal neuropathy. Imaging ruled out structural compression. The patient, referred for rheumatological consultation, was lost to follow‐up. This case highlights the

Factor H-related protein 1 promotes complement-mediated opsonization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important human opportunistic pathogen responsible for a wide range of infections. The complement system is the main early host defense mechanism to control these infections. P.

Insights into the modulation of age‐related macular degeneration: Molecular and systems‐level perspectives

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue S293, Page S4-S35, October 2026.
ENGLISH SUMMARY In developed countries, age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of visual impairment in the aging population. Understanding of its pathogenesis is limited and the number of patients is predicted to continue rising. AMD is classified into two main forms: dry and neovascular AMD (dAMD and nAMD, respectively).

From Macronutrients to Functional Foods: Nutritional Strategies for Recovery Following High‐Intensity Exercise

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Recovery nutrition after high‐intensity exercise should be hierarchical and periodized. Carbohydrate and protein form the foundation for glycogen restoration and muscle repair, while functional foods and bioactive compounds serve as context‐dependent adjuncts.

Home telemonitoring in high‐risk pregnancies: A Finnish retrospective cohort study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 9, Page 1689-1697, September 2026.
This retrospective study suggests that home telemonitoring may provide an acceptable approach for managing selected high‐risk pregnancies. Safe and effective implementation requires careful patient selection and adherence to evidence‐based clinical protocols.
