Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of viral keratitis (VK) to improve patient outcomes, focusing on the role of antiviral medications and supportive care.
- - Researchers analyzed samples from 162 patients suspected of ocular infections and found that 29.6% tested positive for various viruses, with the highest prevalence being varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1).
- - Multiplex real-time PCR was used for efficient viral diagnosis, revealing that aqueous humor samples were particularly effective for detecting VK, potentially changing how diagnoses are made and reducing unnecessary antibiotic use.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is recognized by stereotypic and repetitive behaviors after 2 years of old. Dysregulation of the immune system, especially inflammation which is mostly regulated by IL-6, imposes a deficit in CNS development. Along with this crucial biomarker, researchers have proposed BCL-2, micro RNA-23a-3p (miR-23a-3p), miR-181b-5p as other probable biomarkers involved in inflammation and apoptosis.

Induction of fetal hemoglobin in beta hemoglobin disorders compensate for abnormal chain and ameliorate the clinical complications. Sodium butyrate is used conventionally for fetal hemoglobin induction; it can be replaced by safer therapeutic tools like microRNAs, small non-coding RNAs that control number of epigenetic mechanisms.
