Primary Mediastinal Pleural Hydatid Cyst Mimicking Tuberculous Pleuritis: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Hydatid disease, caused by various Echinococcus species, is endemic in developing countries and most commonly affects the liver and lungs. Approximately 7.4% of cases involve intrathoracic extrapulmonary locations, with pleural involvement usually resulting from rupture of adjacent hepatic or pulmonary cysts.

CRISPR Assays for Protein Detection
This review summarizes recent advances in CRISPR–Cas–based strategies for protein detection. Particular focus is placed on recognition element–based approaches, in which antibodies, aptamers, or DNAzymes convert protein binding into CRISPR‐readable nucleic acid signals, and activity‐based strategies that exploit intrinsic protein functions to trigger ...

ABSTRACT No laboratory test performed to date provides an absolute guarantee for detecting infectious agents. Nucleic acid amplification techniques/tests (NAT) associated with serological tests can increase safety and provide greater diagnostic accuracy for patients. We investigated the added safety of NAT technology combined with serological tests for

Physical exercise ameliorates cognitive deficits and attenuates Tau hyperphosphorylation under chronic stress by elevating circulating adiponectin levels. Upon receptor binding, adiponectin modulates the LCMT1/PME‐1 regulatory axis to promote PP2A methylation and catalytic function.

Abstract Background Rhodococcus equi causes pneumonia in young foals, but disease susceptibility and severity vary. Cortisol and vitamin D modulate immune responses and cytokine production during bacterial infection, and altered concentrations are associated with sepsis in neonatal foals. We hypothesised an age and disease effect on circulating steroid
