Hidden in plain sight: Detecting rare naturally occurring anti-K antibody in a blood donor.

Red cell alloimmunisation is commonly reported among pregnant, transplant and multitransfused patients, whereas it is a fairly rare occurrence in the healthy general population. We report a rare case where we detected naturally occurring anti-K antibody in a healthy male whole blood donor during routine antibody screening.

Unlocking the Gates: A Novel Diagnostic Molecule for Quantifying Efflux Levels in Gram-Positive Bacteria.

Efflux-mediated antibiotic resistance poses a significant global threat, affecting diverse bacterial species. Clinicians recognize the danger of efflux mechanisms during antibiotic treatment, yet precise diagnostic tools remain unavailable. The antibiogram currently infers abnormal efflux pump activity in clinical isolates, which is subsequently confirmed through transcriptomic or genomic analysis.

A Case of Bilateral Irreversible Loss of Vision in a Young Child Due to Mumps Retinitis.

Purpose: To describe a case of severe visual loss due to bilateral retinitis after mumps fever in a young child.

Case Report: A five-year-old boy presented with bilateral blindness 2 days after suffering from fever and parotid swelling.

Salinity induced changes in esterase, peroxidase and alcohol dehydrogenase isozymes and leaf soluble proteins in salinity susceptible and salinity tolerant sugarcane genotypes.

The salinity susceptible CoC-671 and salinity tolerant sugarcane genotype CoM-265 were evaluated for Peroxidase (POX), Esterase (EST) and Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH) isozymes and soluble protein profiling by SDS and native-PAGE at salinity levels 0.41 dSm, 2.31 dSm, 4.
