Insectary‐reared mosquitoes were simultaneously assessed for species identification, bloodmeal source analysis and Plasmodium detection, using a single multiplexed sequencing run on the MinION sequencing platform. The method was applied to 150 insectary‐reared mosquitoes, representing nine species blood‐fed with five vertebrate hosts and 40 samples for

Parenteral iron—Does it increase infection risk?
Abstract Background and Objectives Iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) are prevalent conditions impacting various patient populations, both surgical and non‐surgical conditions. The advent of patient blood management (PBM) has promoted intravenous (IV) iron therapy as an alternative to oral iron and blood transfusions.

The role of T cells in sepsis of distinct infectious aetiologies
Pathogen‐specific sepsis induces mitochondrial dysfunction in T cells, leading to functional alterations. Single‐cell transcriptomics reveals subtype‐specific impairments involving reactive oxygen species accumulation, mtDNA damage, calcium dysregulation, and metabolic reprogramming.
