A Case Report on Disseminated <i>Mycobacterium avium</i> Complex Infection in an Otherwise Healthy Individual-A Diagnostic Challenge. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection can mimic tuberculosis (TB) in immunocompetent individuals, leading to diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Clinicians should consider nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in patients unresponsive to anti‐tubercular therapy (ATT), especially in endemic regions.

Why a Mycobacterium Avium Infected Patient Showed a Positive Xpert MTB/RIF Result? [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT This article discusses whether a MAC‐infected patient with a positive Xpert MTB/RIF test has a co‐infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The patient presented with chronic, indolent pulmonary patchy shadows on imaging but lacked typical symptoms. The MTB antigen‐specific interferon‐gamma enzyme‐linked immunospot assay (T‐SPOT.TB) was

Redefining Therapies for Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis: Synergistic Effects of Antimicrobial Peptides, Nanotechnology, and Computational Design

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)‐loaded nanocarriers provide a multifunctional strategy to combat drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By enhancing intracellular delivery, bypassing efflux pumps, and disrupting bacterial membranes, this platform restores phagolysosome fusion and macrophage function.

Advancing Extracellular Vesicle Research: A Review of Systems Biology and Multiomics Perspectives

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound vesicles secreted by various cell types into the extracellular space and play a role in intercellular communication. Their molecular cargo varies depending on the cell of origin and its functional state.

Relationship between food quality and body size of common vole in different habitats

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The body size of the common vole in crop fields (alfalfa, rape, cereals) is larger than in less‐cultivated habitats (forests, clearings, set‐aside) and is not related to food quality. Abstract BACKGROUND There is a close relationship between habitat, food and demographic parameters of common vole populations.
