Article Synopsis
- Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a serious condition that affects memory and thinking in older people, and it's linked to the buildup of certain substances in the brain, like Aβ plaques and tau tangles.
- Researchers are looking for better ways to spot AD early and keep track of it, using new techniques like mass spectrometry to find important molecules in the body called biomarkers.
- This review shares recent studies from 2009 to 2020 that show how metabolomics (the study of small molecules) could help identify new ways to diagnose Alzheimer's, discussing the pros and cons of different research methods.
SARS-COV-2 Serological Profile in Healthcare Professionals of a Southern Italy Hospital.

December 2020
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the first coronavirus that has caused a pandemic. Assessing the prevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 in healthcare worker groups offers a unique opportunity to study the correlation between seroconversion and immunization because of their occupational exposure and a higher risk of contagion. The study enrolled 3242 asymptomatic employees of "Policlinico Riuniti", Foggia.

- * Of the nine individuals who tested positive for antibodies, none showed evidence of active infection as they were negative for viral RNA in nasopharyngeal swabs.
- * These findings indicate that the region is far from achieving herd immunity, emphasizing the necessity of continued containment measures to curb the pandemic's spread.
Coagulase Negative Staphylococci (CoNS) are becoming increasingly recognized as an important cause of human and animal infections. Notwithstanding their clinical relevance, annotation of genes potentially involved in pathogenicity and/or antibiotic resistance in the CoNS species (SAR) is currently very limited. In the current work we describe the genome of a novel methicillin resistant isolate of SAR, which we named Bari, and present a comprehensive analysis of predicted antibiotic resistance profiles and virulence determinants for all the 22 currently available SAR genomes.
