AI‐Assisted Fungal Detection in Dermatopathology: A Study on Accuracy, Efficiency, and Usability

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Background and Objectives AI‐based image analysis is increasingly applied in pathology. Excluding fungal elements in PAS‐stained skin sections is labor‐intensive and well suited for AI assistance. While fungal detection in nails has been studied, skin‐biopsy applications and real‐world benefit remain limited.

When to consider an inborn error of immunity: clues for physicians

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The term inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) refers to the rapidly expanding group of genetic disorders causing dysregulation of the immune system. With improved genetic testing in recent years, the number of defined IEIs and their range of phenotypic presentations has grown vastly, with more than 550 IEIs now described.

Some Properties of Purified Molluscum Contagiosum Virus

Journal of General Virology, 1971
Summary Molluscum contagiosum virus was purified by two methods involving differential centrifugation; treatment with ribonuclease and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. When the final gradient centrifugation was preceded by two consecutive centrifugations through 36% sucrose, the percentage of DNA in the purified virus particles was reduced. The
