Clinical presentation and molecular diagnosis of a possible Mpox virus and Varicella zoster virus co-infection in an adult immunocompetent Filipino: a case report.

We report the first travel-related case of a possible Mpox-Varicella zoster virus (VZV) co-infection in the Philippines, a country that is endemic for Varicella but non-endemic for Mpox. A 29-year-old Filipino, female, with a travel history to Switzerland and with no prior history of VZV infection sought consultation due to rashes. She presented with multiple papular, pustular, and vesicular skin lesions, some with umbilication and with irregular borders, on the face, neck, trunk, inguinal area, upper extremities, and right leg.

Case report: A comprehensive report on the first confirmed Mpox case in the Philippines during the 2022 Mpox global outbreak: from clinical presentation to shotgun metagenomic sequencing analysis.

We report a case of a 31-year-old Filipino male with travel history to several European countries in July 2022. He developed five non-tender, well-defined, umbilicated pustules with erythematous borders on the upper lip, left gluteal area, bilateral knees, and left ankle. Skin punch biopsy findings were suggestive of a viral infection.

Lignocellulose Treatment Using a Flow-Through Variant of OrganoCat Process.

This study adapts the biphasic OrganoCat system into a flow-through (FT) reactor, using a heated tubular setup where a mixture of oxalic acid and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF) is pumped through beech wood biomass. This method minimizes solvent-biomass contact time, facilitating rapid product removal and reducing the risk of secondary reactions. A comparative analysis with traditional batch processes reveals that the FT system, especially under severe conditions, significantly enhances extraction efficiency, yielding higher amounts of lignin and sugars with reduced solid residue.

Deeper-band electron contributions to stopping power of silicon for low-energy ions.

This study provides accurate results for the electronic stopping cross sections of H, He, N, and Ne in silicon in low to intermediate energy ranges using various non-perturbative theoretical methods, including real-time time-dependent density functional theory, transport cross section, and induced-density approach. Recent experimental findings [Ntemou et al., Phys.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix application for complex wound reconstruction.

Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix (BTM) is a synthetic dermal template recently developed to reconstruct complex wounds. Current literature describes BTM outcomes in the presence of infection and other comorbidities but are limited by small sample sizes. The purpose of this systemic review and meta-analysis was to determine current breadth and success of BTM use for complex wound closure.
