Otogenic route of meningitis was associated with greater cochlear hair cell loss in comparison with the meningogenic one in this otopathology study. Neuronal depletion has been traditionally implicated in failed hearing rehabilitation of post‐meningitis deafness.

ABSTRACT Aims Newly graduated paediatric surgery nurses must be able to identify and handle potential risks to ensure patient safety. It is necessary to reinforce their understanding of their roles and responsibilities to achieve this goal. However, the limitations of traditional classroom‐based teaching hinder the exploration of learners' potential ...

This retrospective study evaluated metagenomic next‑generation sequencing (mNGS) against conventional methods (India ink, culture, antigen) for diagnosing cryptococcal infection in 16 kidney transplant recipients. mNGS showed a significantly higher positivity rate (93.8% vs 62.5%, p = 0.031) and shorter turnaround time (24 vs. 120 h, p < 0.001).

Abstract The nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDK) is a key enzyme that controls the balance of nucleotide pools in all living organisms. Beyond this fundamental role, NDKs exert pleiotropic effects in many cellular processes, including cell development, signal transduction, differentiation, tumor metastasis, and gene expression. The quaternary structure

Fractal–fractional model for analysis of tuberculosis infection using Ethiopia incidence data
Abstract In this study, a fractional‐order SEIuITR $SE{I}_{u}ITR$ model was proposed to examine the transmission of tuberculosis (TB) in the community. The proposed model was rigorously examined for well‐posedness. The basic reproduction number was also derived, and the disease‐free equilibrium was obtained.
