The Molecular Interplay Between Helicobacter pylori Infection and Ulcerative Colitis: Unraveling Shared Biomarkers and Pathway Networks

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection show an intriguing inverse epidemiological association, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear, with emerging evidence suggesting H. pylori may modulate colonic inflammation via systemic immune regulation. Methods We used bioinformatics approaches,

The use of K39 test in the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]

, 2007
From time to time patients admitted with fever of unknown origin prove to be a diagnostic dilemma. While textbooks describe typical symptoms and signs, and also diagnostic tests, these are not always helpful.

Association between canine leishmaniosis and Ehrlichia canis co-infection: a prospective case-control study [PDF]

, 2018
Background In the Mediterranean basin, Leishmania infantum is a major cause of disease in dogs, which are frequently co-infected with other vector-borne pathogens (VBP).

The recombinant protein rSP03B is a valid antigen for screening dog exposure to Phlebotomus perniciosus across foci of canine leishmaniasis [PDF]

, 2017
The frequency of sandfly-host contacts can be measured by host antibody levels against sandfly salivary proteins. Recombinant salivary proteins are suggested to represent a valid replacement for salivary gland homogenate (SGH); however, it is necessary ...

Causes of Pediatric Visceral Leishmaniasis in Southeastern Iran

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2014
Leishmania infantum is the most frequent cause of visceral leishmaniasis and L. tropica has been rarely linked to the disease in Iran. In this study, bone marrow aspirates were collected from 10 child patients, suspected with visceral leishmaniasis ...

Leptin enhances the efficacy of glucantime to modulate macrophage polarization toward the M1 phenotype in Leishmania tropica-infected macrophages

Parasites & Vectors
Background Macrophages are essential immune cells during Leishmania infection, as their polarization toward M1/M2 phenotypes determines disease outcome.

In Vitro Screening Test Using Leishmania Promastigotes Stably Expressing mCherry Protein [PDF]

, 2014
Transgenic Leishmania major and Leishmania donovani axenic promastigotes constitutively expressing mCherry were used for in vitro antileishmanial drug screening. This method requires minimal sample manipulation and can be easily adapted to automatic drug

Increasing the digital repository of DNA barcoding sequences of sand flies (Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) [PDF]

, 2019
Sand f ly identification is complex because it depends on the expertise of the taxonomist. The females show subtle morphological differences and the occurrence of the species complexes are usual in this taxon.

Defensive medicine in dermatological practice – Dermatopathology as a mirror of structural challenges

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 302-315, March 2026.
Summary Defensive medicine refers to diagnostic or therapeutic actions taken primarily to reduce legal liability rather than to benefit the patient. In dermatopathology, defensive practices manifest in frequent immunohistochemical testing, overly cautious report phrasing, and reliance on multidisciplinary tumor boards.

Evolutionary divergence and functional insights into the heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferase of Paramecium tetraurelia

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1681-1707, March 2026.
Heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferases (CPT) are indispensable for dolichol synthesis and protein N‐glycosylation in most eukaryotes. The catalytic subunits are strongly conserved throughout evolution, in contrast to the evolutionarily variable accessory subunits. The POC1 protein from Paramecium tetraurelia is the smallest identified CPT‐accessory subunit
