Dermoscopy in the Treatment Monitoring of Cutaneous Infectious Diseases: A Review

Dermatologic Therapy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Dermoscopy represents a powerful, noninvasive tool for assessing both active infection and therapeutic resolution in a broad spectrum of infectious skin diseases. Despite the different causative agents (parasitic, viral, or fungal), it allows to identify characteristic pathogen‐associated structures at baseline and sequential morphological changes ...

Burden and Experiences of Head Lice Infestation Among Children in Western Australia

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Head lice is an ectoparasitic skin infection commonly seen in primary school–aged children. In remote Australia, where rates of other skin infections and downstream sequelae are endemic, the rate of head lice infestation is unknown. Methods This multimethod observational study is aimed at describing the burden of head lice for remote ...

Role of the Setae in an Ectoparasitic Seal Louse in Reducing Surface Drag: Numerical Modeling Approach

Advanced Theory and Simulations, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
The seal louse Echinophthirius horridus has uniquely shaped setae that may reduce drag during its host's dives. Using numerical simulations, this study demonstrates that their natural inclination promotes vortex formation, minimizing friction and energy loss. These findings provide insights into biological surface adaptations and may inspire the design

Neandertal Cold Adaptation: Technological, Anatomical, and Physiological Responses to Cold Stress in One of Our Closest Fossil Relatives

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 37, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Neandertals occupied western Eurasia for over 100 000 years, repeatedly enduring climates that ranged from seasonally cold to glacial. This paper reexamines the question of Neandertal cold adaptation using updated fossil, physiological, and archaeological evidence.

PINK1 deficiency permits the development of Lewy body dementia with coexisting Aβ pathology

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), a prevalent neurodegenerative dementia, involves α‐synuclein (α‐syn) aggregates and frequent amyloid beta (Aβ) co‐pathology, but mechanistic drivers remain unclear. METHODS We crossed pink1 knockout with APP/PS1 mice, and assessed behavioral and pathological phenotypes of the resulting animals.
