Central Nervous System Infections in Pediatric Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Pediatric Transplantation, Volume 30, Issue 8, August 2026.
CNS infections in SOT recipients are rare and presentation can be subtle. Therefore, a low threshold for evaluation is warranted to minimize the associated mortality. ABSTRACT Background Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients face an increased risk of central nervous system (CNS) infections due to immunosuppression.

Interplay Between Infectious Diseases and the Endocrine System: An Overview and Clinical Insights

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
Infectious diseases can disrupt endocrine homeostasis through direct cytopathic injury, autoimmune dysregulation, or pathogen‐derived hormone‐like effects. Viruses and bacteria are the most frequent agents, whereas fungi and parasites contribute less commonly, even remaining clinically relevant, especially in the immunocompromised population.

Functional Implications of Marine Biosurfactants and Their Therapeutic Potential Against Alzheimer's Disease

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Marine‐derived biosurfactants produced by microorganisms (including bacteria, fungi, and yeast) have amphiphilic properties that facilitate membrane interactions and transport across the blood–brain barrier (BBB). These biosurfactants exhibit neuroprotective activity by targeting mechanisms implicated in Alzheimer's disease, including reducing ...

Nocardia cyriacigeorgica Identified by Bronchial Washing During Evaluation of Radiologic Progression in a Patient With Prior Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Diseases

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
In this case of pulmonary nocardiosis complicating prior nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease, repeat bronchial washing cytology revealed filamentous organisms suggestive of ongoing nocardial infection despite negative cultures. Bronchoscopic sampling may therefore aid in not only initial diagnosis but also reassessment when sputum studies ...
