Universal and Lineage‐Specific Patterns in the Distribution of ECOD Domain Homology Groups Across Superkingdoms

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proteins are built from modular domains that serve as fundamental units of structure and evolution. While individual domains have been extensively cataloged, their collective distribution across the lineages of life has remained poorly resolved.

16S/18S metabarcoding versus culture for aetiological assessment in infectious keratitis: A prospective paired‐sample study

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Infectious keratitis (IK) is a vision‐threatening condition with diverse microbial aetiologies, yet conventional culture‐based diagnostics often have limited sensitivity. We investigated whether 16S/18S rRNA amplicon‐based next‐generation sequencing (NGS) can enhance aetiological assessment when used alongside standard microbiological ...

Hypercortisolism: Causes, Consequences and Clinical Significance – A Review of Pathophysiology

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercortisolism or Cushing syndrome is a heterogeneous clinical spectrum caused by chronic glucocorticoid excess, ranging from exogenous Cushing syndrome to rare endogenous aetiologies and the increasingly recognised entity of mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS). Physiological cortisol production is tightly regulated by the hypothalamic–

Nocardia infection following phacoemulsification

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2007
Infection of a self-sealing tunnel incision is a rare but vision-threatening complication of cataract surgery. We describe two cases of side port infection following an uneventful phacoemulsification. Nocardia was isolated in one case. Both the cases were worsening on medical treatment and were successfully treated by therapeutic keratoplasty.

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.
