Coinfection of pulmonary lophomoniasis, tuberculosis, and hydatid cyst in a pediatric autism patient: a case report and literature review.

Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by difficulties in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors or restricted interests. Although research on the link between ASD and parasitic diseases is limited, immune deficiency and inflammation may contribute to the development of parasitic infections.

Case Report: We admitted a 14-year-old boy to the hospital who had a known history of ASD because he was presenting with respiratory symptoms, including cough and hemoptysis.

Reninoma - rare juxtaglomerular tumor associated with hypertension We present a case study of two female patients, aged 20-30 years, who were diagnosed with reninoma, a rare juxtaglomerular tumor associated with hypertension, high plasma renin and hypokalemia. Both patients were referred to the Department of Internal Medicine at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, but their cases were ten years apart. In both instances, the renin-secreting tumor was surgically removed, resulting in the normalization of blood pressure without the need for antihypertensive medication.

Comparative Study of the Long-Term Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Mental Health and Nutritional Practices Among International Elite and Sub-Elite Athletes: A Sample of 1420 Participants from 14 Countries.

Background: Although several studies have shown that the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown has had negative impacts on mental health and eating behaviors among the general population and athletes, few studies have examined the long-term effects on elite and sub-elite athletes. The present study aimed to investigate the long-term impact of COVID-19 lockdown on mental health and eating behaviors in elite versus sub-elite athletes two years into the pandemic. A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted between March and April 2022, involving athletes from 14 countries, using a convenient non-probabilistic and snowball sampling method.

A Rare Case of Pulmonary Adenocarcinoma in an 8-Year-Old Patient with Persistent Respiratory Manifestation: A Case Report Study.

Pulmonary adenocarcinoma is an extremely infrequent cancer in children. This cancer usually presents with unspecific manifestations that lead to delays in diagnosis. The treatment protocol for adenocarcinoma in children remains challenging due to its rarity.

A Protein Microarray-Based Respiratory Viral Antigen Testing Platform for COVID-19 Surveillance.

High-throughput and rapid screening testing is highly desirable to effectively combat the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic co-presents with influenza and seasonal common cold epidemics. Here, we present a general workflow for iterative development and validation of an antibody-based microarray assay for the detection of a respiratory viral panel: (a) antibody screening to quickly identify optimal reagents and assay conditions, (b) immunofluorescence assay design including signal amplification for low viral titers, (c) assay characterization with recombinant proteins, inactivated viral samples and clinical samples, and (d) multiplexing to detect a panel of common respiratory viruses. Using RT-PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative pharyngeal swab samples, we demonstrated that the antibody microarray assay exhibited a clinical sensitivity and specificity of 77.
