The Inhibitory Effects of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles on Clinical Isolates of Malassezia in Dogs. [PDF]
Vet Med SciZinc oxide nanoparticles inhibit the growth and virulence of Malassezia pachydermatis clinical isolates from dogs. ZnO NPs exhibit potent fungicidal activity at low concentrations (MIC 3.90–7.81 ppm) and significantly downregulate the expression of Phospholipase A2 and Aspartyl proteinase genes, key virulence factors. This demonstrates the potential of

Optical Coherence Tomography as an Emerging Technique for Identifying Pediatric Middle Ear Effusion
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This prospective study evaluated optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a diagnostic tool for identifying middle ear effusion (MEE) in 164 pediatric patients. OCT was determined to have a sensitivity of 74% and a specificity of 93%, comparable to otoscopy and tympanometry, with moderate agreement (κ = 0.41) between clinical and non‐clinical raters.
