Cancer patients presenting to the emergency department ED with dyspnoea. Among 2153 patients presenting to the ED with dyspnea, 473 (22.0%) had an active or past cancer. Acute heart failure (AHF) was the most common final diagnosis in both groups. Pneumonia and cancer‐related dyspnoea were more common in cancer patients.

Human Pleural Fluid Elicits Pyruvate and Phenylalanine Metabolism in Acinetobacter baumannii to Enhance Cytotoxicity and Immune Evasion [PDF]
The CCAAT box-harboring proteins represent a family of heterotrimeric transcription factors which is highly conserved in eukaryotes. In fungi, one of the particularly important homologs of this family is the Hap complex that separates the DNA-binding ...

Single‐Cell Transcriptomic Analysis of the Immune Response to COVID‐19 and Tuberculosis Coinfection
Understanding the immunological basis for severe outcomes in COVID‐19/Tuberculosis coinfection is critical. Our single‐cell analysis identifies key drivers: profound lymphocyte loss through combined apoptosis and altered trafficking, excessive S100 protein‐mediated inflammation contributing to cytokine storms, and systemic immune dysfunction ...
