Longitudinal Monitoring of Systemic Cytokines After Mild Zika Virus Infection Revealed an Association Between Th17 Polarization and Clinical and Serological Outcomes. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Zika virus (ZIKV) is a neurotropic virus that can cause a variety of neurological manifestations, ranging from mild forms to severe disorders like Guillain–Barré syndrome and congenital Zika syndrome. The pathophysiology of these complications is not fully understood, but they have been linked to host immune responses, particularly a ...

Risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality among women with endometriosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Endometriosis has been associated with chronic inflammation and an atherogenic lipid profile, two conditions that increase the risk of atherothrombotic cardiovascular diseases. Five studies reported an increased risk of stroke with endometriosis, with a pooled risk of 1.18 (95% CI [1.13–1.22]) and four studies reported an increased risk of coronary ...

False Elevation of Parathyroid Hormone in a Patient With Lung Metastasis of Rectal Cancer After Immunotherapy: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
Background Immunoassays are commonly used in clinical laboratories to measure a variety of analytes, including hormones and tumor markers. Interference caused by rheumatoid factor (RF), heterophile antibodies, and human anti‐animal antibodies (HAAA) has been reported but is rarely identified in daily practice. Here, we report a case of falsely elevated

Taxonomic and functional dynamics during chytrid epidemics in an aquatic ecosystem
Abstract Fungal parasitism is common in plankton communities and plays a crucial role in the ecosystem by balancing nutrient cycling in the food web. Previous studies of aquatic ecosystems revealed that zoosporic chytrid epidemics represent an important driving factor in phytoplankton seasonal successions.
