Sigmoid Schistosomiasis Granuloma Manifested as a Large Painless Supra‐Pubic Mass: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Schistosomiasis remains a prevalent parasitic disease in tropical and subtropical regions, ranking second to malaria in terms of parasitic burden. The disease manifests in two primary forms: urinary schistosomiasis, caused by Schistosoma haematobium, and intestinal schistosomiasis, associated with S. mansoni and S. japonicum.

Aminoisothiazolamides, a new class of potent inhibitors of lysyl‐tRNA synthetase

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 3956-3983, July 2025.
The present work covers a series of novel herbicidal lead structures that possess an aminoisothiazolamide scaffold as a structural key feature. Lysyl‐tRNA synthetase 1 (KRS1) was identified as the biochemical mode‐of‐action. Based on optimized and tailored synthetic approaches, a broader SAR study was carried out delivering some lead structures that ...
