The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Invasive fungal infection: a visible menace

Global Journal of Medicine and Public Health
Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are an upcoming threat in hospitalized patients. We studied the risk factors, aetiology, clinical features and outcomes (in the form of survival or death) in 30 cases displaying IFI.

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Polyhexanide based contact lens storage fluids frequently exhibit insufficient antifungal activity against Fusarium species

International Journal of Medical Microbiology
Purpose: Fusarium keratitis is a severe infection of the anterior eye, frequently leading to keratoplasty or surgical removal of the affected eye. A major risk factor for infection is the use of contact lenses.

Intraosseous sarcoidosis imitating peri‐implantitis: A case study

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown cause, typically affecting the lungs and lymph nodes, but it can also involve the eyes, skin, heart, bones, and other organs. The exact cause is unclear, but genetic factors and environmental triggers like infections, chemicals, or dust may play a role.

Nuclear Entanglement: New Insights Into the Role of Cytoskeleton and Nucleoskeleton in Plant Nuclear Function

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.

[Emerging invasive fungal infections].

Anales de pediatria (Barcelona, Spain : 2003), 2010
The frequency and diversity of invasive fungal infections has changed over the last 25 years. The emergence of less common, but medically important fungi has increased, and the children at risk has expanded, with the inclusion of medical conditions such as cancer, mainly haematological malignancy or stem cell transplant, immunosuppressive therapy ...

Cytologic Findings in Esophageal Perforation: An Institutional Experience With Pleural Fluid Specimens

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Esophageal perforation (EP) is a rare but life‐threatening condition, and most cases are due to iatrogenic causes. The rest occur spontaneously, due to malignancies, or trauma. The mortality rates can approach 50%, and delayed diagnosis of EP exacerbates patient outcomes.

Spontaneous regression of equine sarcoids is an exceptional event

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Sarcoids are benign, yet locally aggressive skin tumours that commonly affect horses and other equid species. The lesions are induced by bovine papillomavirus types 1, 2, and probably 13 in conjunction with other factors including trauma and a genetic predisposition.

Visible Photosensitizing Disinfectant Spray for Combating Multidrug‐Resistant Candidozyma Auris in Healthcare Settings

Exploration, EarlyView.
We designed and synthesized a dual‐type AIE photosensitizer (named TB) spray, containing a cationic quaternary ammonium unit and a glycosyl‐targeted boronic acid moiety, characterized for the elimination of biofilm infections of Candidozyma auris (C. auris) on high‐touch surfaces.
