Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) presents with the onset of fever, altered sensorium and/or seizures, known to be caused by various infectious and non-infectious aetiological agents, among which viruses are the commonest. The severity of AES prompts rapid diagnosis, which is not met by time-consuming conventional diagnostic techniques. In this study, archived cerebrospinal fluid samples of laboratory-confirmed viral AES, an acute infectious condition and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), a post-infectious, autoimmune condition was assessed for soluble membrane attack complex (sMAC) using ELISA.

Melioidosis is caused by percutaneous inoculation or inhalation of , predominantly among individuals with risk factors (diabetes mellitus, immunosuppression, etc.) from endemic areas of South Asia, Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. While some patients present acutely with sepsis and multi-organ failure, others present with a subacute to chronic course characterised by abscess formation.

Mitochondrial CPT1-mediated fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) critically contributes to the accelerated metastatic expansion of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Hence, inhibition of FAO through active CPT1 targeting could be a promising therapeutic approach in anti-TNBC therapies. Herein, we strategically synthesized a pyrene chain end labelled copolymer bearing biotin pendants, CP4, that actively targets CPT1 and efficiently blocks FAO in metastatic TNBC.

We present, for the first time, an efficient ligand-free iron-copper catalyzed cross-coupling reaction involving a variety of aryl, heteroaryl halides (including chlorides, bromides, and iodides), and alkyl bromides with diverse aryl and aliphatic primary amides, conducted under solvent-minimized conditions. This economically competitive protocol successfully yielded the corresponding cross-coupling products, N-arylamides and N-alkylamides, in good to excellent yields with broad substrate scope (65 examples) and tolerance to several sensitive functionalities (including heterocycles). No conventional work-up is required for this protocol, and the developed method is applicable for gram-scale synthesis.
