Angiostrongylus cantonensis Meningo-Encephalitis in Children-Heightened Awareness Needed During Prolonged Wet Weather Conditions.

Aim: Angiostrongylus cantonensis, the leading cause of eosinophilic meningoencephalitis, is well established in eastern Australia. Prolonged wet weather in Queensland during 2021-2022 coincided with anecdotal reports of increased neuroangiostrongyliasis cases, prompting an evaluation of paediatric cases from 2013 to 2022.

Methods: This retrospective observational study reviewed children (0-16 years) with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) eosinophilia (≥ 10% of the total CSF leukocyte count) and/or A.

Recent Advances in Nanocarrier-mediated Combination Drug Therapy for Tackling Solid-resistant Tumors.

Cancer is a group of dynamic diseases characterized by uncontrollable growth and spread of cells. The heterogenic nature of cancer hinders the abolishment of cancer resulting in a narrow therapeutic index, the capacity of drug efflux, multidrug resistance, and unacceptable side effects. The major challenge in the treatment of malignancies is multidrug resistance (MDR).

16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of organic and conventional chickens.

We report 16S rRNA sequencing of microbiomes associated with organic and conventional retail chickens (=31), processed via whole-carcass enrichment and rinse methodologies. Amplicon sequencing was performed targeting the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene, which resulted with Good's coverage exceeding 99.7% of the libraries.

Draft genome sequence of BDSA strain isolated from ready-to-eat chicken product in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

We present the genome of BDSA isolated from ready-to-eat (RTE) meat collected in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The genome displays the Listeria pathogenicity island 1 and virulence, stress response, and antimicrobial resistance genes. It was phylogenetically classified as ST7, and clustered with serotype 1/2a belonging to lineage II.

A Reinforcement Learning Based Approach for Efficient Routing in Multi-FPGA Platforms.

Prototyping using multi-FPGA platforms is unique because of its use in real-world testing and cycle-accurate information on the design. However, this is a complex and time-consuming process with multiple sub-steps. Among its sub-steps, inter-FPGA routing is the one that can take a significant percentage of total prototyping time.
