Photodynamic therapy of cancer‐associated infections

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Pathogens can be involved in tumor initiation, promotion and progression through different mechanisms, and their treatment can prevent new cancer cases, improve outcomes, and revert poor‐prognostic phenotypes. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) successfully treats different types of cancers and infections, and, therefore, has a unique potential to address ...

Identification of Schistosoma mansoni microRNAs [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2011
Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) constitute a class of single-stranded RNAs which play a crucial role in regulating development and controlling gene expression by targeting mRNAs and triggering either translation repression or messenger RNA (mRNA) degradation. miRNAs are widespread in eukaryotes and to date over

A nationwide retrospective study of the seroprevalence and risk factors of transfusion‐transmissible infections among blood donors in Nigeria

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Blood transfusion's life‐saving potential is often marred by the risks of transfusion‐transmissible infections (TTIs) from blood donors, for which sub‐Saharan African countries record some of the highest burdens. Aims We aimed to assess the seroprevalence of HBV, HCV, HIV, and Treponema pallidum among blood donors in Nigeria, and ...

Characterization of Neuropsychiatric Conditions in United States Resettled Refugees at a Single Academic Center

Annals of Neurology, Volume 98, Issue 2, Page 231-235, August 2025.
Neuropsychiatric diseases are common among forcibly displaced persons, and a better understanding is needed to improve screening and treatment efforts. We performed a retrospective cross‐sectional study at a single academic center looking at neuropsychiatric diagnoses of United States resettled refugees presenting for their domestic medical examination.
