Real-world infection risk in multiple sclerosis patients on long-term immunomodulatory treatments.

Introduction: Numerous immunomodulatory treatments exist for multiple sclerosis (MS), including those that deplete immune cells (e.g. anti-CD20 medications), relocate immune cells (e.

Vibrio harveyi uses both type III secretion system and quorum sensing for the colonization of the European abalone.

The vibriosis of the European abalone, Haliotis tuberculata, is characterized by the rapidity of the infection by the pathogen Vibrio harveyi ORM4, leading to death of animals only after two days. The lethality of the pathogen is linked to the production of the type III secretion system (T3SS) and to genes regulated by quorum sensing (QS). The aim of this study was to investigate the colonization of the European abalone by both virulent and avirulent V.

Fumagillin Shortage: How to Treat Microsporidiosis in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients in 2024?

Unlabelled: Intestinal microsporidiosis caused by is an opportunistic infection that especially affects solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Management revolves around tapering the immunosuppressive regimen and/or using a specific anti-microsporidia treatment, but only fumagillin has demonstrated efficacy for treatment of this infection. Since fumagillin has been commercially discontinued, nitazoxanide is increasingly being used in this indication.

Current status of intestinal parasitosis and microsporidiosis in industrialized countries: Results from a prospective study in France and Luxembourg.

Background: Human intestinal parasitosis and microsporidiosis are a global health concern, mostly in endemic areas but should not be neglected elsewhere. Recent nationwide epidemiological data are scarce, especially from primary health care and developed countries. Diagnosis by molecular tools are increasing and several commercial gastrointestinal panel assays including protozoans and/or helminths are now available.

Positive Unlabeled Learning Selected Not At Random (PULSNAR): class proportion estimation without the selected completely at random assumption.

Positive and unlabeled (PU) learning is a type of semi-supervised binary classification where the machine learning algorithm differentiates between a set of positive instances (labeled) and a set of both positive and negative instances (unlabeled). PU learning has broad applications in settings where confirmed negatives are unavailable or difficult to obtain, and there is value in discovering positives among the unlabeled (., viable drugs among untested compounds).
