Increased Pediatric Head and Neck Abscesses Following the COVID‐19 Pandemic
This study evaluated the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on pediatric head and neck abscesses at two tertiary care centers. Overall head and neck abscess incidence increased more than threefold in the post‐pandemic period compared with the pre‐pandemic period, with increases observed across all major abscess subtypes.

ABSTRACT Background Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a major cause of skin, wound, and device‐related infections. Blue light (405–470 nm), shows promise for treating this organism. However, the translatability, dosing parameters, safety, and effectiveness remain unclear, and no systematic review currently exists.

Advancing Therapies for Mycobacterial Diseases: From Small Molecules to Host‐Directed Strategies
ABSTRACT The global burden of multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR‐TB) and the rising incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections highlight the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Current treatments are prolonged, toxic, and increasingly compromised by resistance and limited diagnostic capacity.

Respiratory deaths in Bangladesh are frequently assigned non‐specific causes because of limited diagnostic information. Through stakeholder consultations, key informant interviews, microbiologist consultations, and literature review, 11 priority respiratory pathogens were identified for potential detection using post‐mortem nasal swab testing and ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a therapeutic option offered to patients with idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB) or non‐obstructive urinary retention, as an alternative treatment for refractory medical management. It allows for electrical stimulation of inhibitory circuits that modulate the micturition reflex and improve lower ...

Programming Multidomain Peptides With Molecular Frustration Into Biomolecular Condensates
De novo designed multidomain peptides (MDPs) were used to explore how molecular ordering influences peptide phase behavior. MDPs containing partially folded β‐sheets were found to form biomolecular condensates. This work introduces a new design principle for condensate formation and expand the design space beyond conventional intrinsically disordered ...
