The use of molecular diagnostics for pathogen detection in epidemiological studies have allowed us to get a wider view of the pathogens associated with diarrhea, but the presence of enteropathogens in asymptomatic individuals has raised several challenges in understanding the etiology of diarrhea, and the use of these platforms in clinical…[Read more]

Regulation of gene expression is critical for Mycobacterium tuberculosis to tolerate stressors encountered during infection, and for non-pathogenic mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium smegmatis to survive environmental stressors. Unlike better-studied models, mycobacteria express ∼14% of their genes as leaderless transcripts. However, the impacts o…[Read more]

Granular cell tumors (GCT) are rare soft tissue neoplasms, which seldom occur in the vulva. They are more commonly benign, but malignant GCT do occur. We report a case of a 50-yr-old postmenopausal woman who presented with a vulvar lesion that was diagnosed as GCT on biopsy. Imaging and clinical examination revealed an enlarged, likely positive…[Read more]

ds on the morphology of the terminal trees and how this integration and, consequently, the neuronal output change under pathologic conditions. Our findings help to predict how nociceptive neurons encode noxious stimuli and how this encoding changes in pathologic conditions, leading to pain.The nodose and jugular vagal ganglia supply sensory…[Read more]

This paper provides guidance to translate lung health interventions to new contexts globally.The potential of DNA as an information storage medium is rapidly growing due to advances in DNA synthesis and sequencing. However, the chemical stability of DNA challenges the complete erasure of information encoded in DNA sequences. Here, we encode…[Read more]

12 (95% confidence interval 0.60-7.50, P = 0.17). Collection of adverse events data was not a primary or secondary aim in any of the studies. We conclude that there is limited evidence to recommend the regular use of probiotics to minimise the risk of GBS colonisation. Results from ongoing studies are likely to add to the current existing…[Read more]

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is mainly a disease of peripheral nervous system and patients typically present with features of demyelinating neuropathy or axonal neuropathy or both. Rarely patients present with features of central nervous system involvement. Parkinsonism, aphemia and familial epilepsy syndrome have previously come up as case…[Read more]
