Landmark‐Based Anatomical Dissection and Real‐Time Functional Assessment of the Mouse Eustachian Tube

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 6, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) contributes to middle ear diseases, but practical methods for functional assessment in mice remain limited. We aimed to develop a landmark‐guided mouse Eustachian tube (ET) dissection protocol and a real‐time pressure‐based system for ET functional evaluation. Methods A detachable portable device was

Prevalence of SARS‐CoV2 in Communities Surrounding Bwindi–Mgahinga Mountain Gorilla Conservation Area, Uganda

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 4, December 2026.
COVID‐19 threatens endangered mountain gorilla populations due to close human contact. A cross‐sectional study (n = 576) in communities around Bwindi–Mgahinga Conservation Area found 8.0% prevalence of SARS‐CoV2. Frequent handwashing was a predictor for reduced prevalence of SARS‐CoV2. Strengthening prevention measures is critical to limit transmission

Catalytic DNA for Precision Diagnostics: DNAzyme‐Based Approaches to Single‐Nucleotide Polymorphism Detection

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 21, 12 November 2026.
This review covers DNAzyme sensor architectures for single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping, including gold nanoparticle (AuNP) and amplification‐assisted formats, and the design rules governing single‐base discrimination. Single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most abundant form of human genetic variation and serve as important ...

Inflammatory Biomarkers as Predictors of In‐Hospital Mortality in Critically Ill COVID‐19 Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Inflammatory biomarkers have been proposed as prognostic indicators in COVID‐19; however, their prognostic associations within critically ill ICU‐admitted patients remain of interest. This study aimed to evaluate the associations of selected inflammatory biomarkers with in‐hospital mortality and their discriminatory ...
