Sex in Immune Cells and Parasitic Diseases — A Complex Relationship
ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies consistently show that many parasitic diseases affect males more frequently than females. These disparities are multifactorial, arising partly from gender‐specific behaviors that influence exposure risk and health‐seeking practices, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Increasing evidence also highlights that

Entamoeba histolytica is an amebic protozoan that is often asymptomatic, with many patients being asymptomatic carriers. However, 10 percent of cases manifest with amebic dysentery and, less commonly, amebic liver abscesses. Amebic liver abscesses are the most common extraintestinal manifestation of E. histolytica.

NR1D1 suppresses epithelial CD47 transcription to promote efferocytosis by macrophages. In UC, NR1D1 expression is diminished, leading to CD47 upregulation, inhibition of apoptotic cell clearance, and exacerbation of intestinal inflammation. Restoring rhythmic NR1D1 activation using SR9011‐loaded bioadhesive hydrogel enhances efferocytosis, improves ...

Awareness of Microbiological Safety in Playgrounds Amid Rising Antibiotic Resistance
Playgrounds are identified as reservoirs for antibiotic‐resistant bacteria, posing a potential public health risk. Despite the existence of safety regulations for playground equipment, microbiological safety is treated superficially. Global strategies, including hygiene practices and antibacterial materials, are needed to reduce the spread of ...
