During 2014-2022, only Plasmodium falciparum malaria cases were reported in the Comoro Islands. We report a fatal case of mixed Plasmodium malaria infection in a traveler returning from the Comoros to Colombia in 2024, highlighting the need to strengthen laboratory detection and identification of Plasmodium spp. in sub-Saharan Africa.

- The study investigates the incidence, mechanisms, and predictors of sudden death (SD) in patients with cardiac amyloidosis, a serious heart condition.
- It analyzed data from 784 patients with either ATTR or AL cardiac amyloidosis, finding that SD is more common in AL patients compared to those with ATTR.
- Key risk factors for SD include previous pacemaker implantation for ATTR patients and the use of beta-blockers and advanced heart failure symptoms (NYHA III-IV) for AL patients.
Organophosphate insecticides are widely used for adult mosquito control. Although proven effective in reducing mosquito populations and limiting arbovirus transmission, public concern exists regarding potential human health effects associated with organophosphate exposure. The aim of this scoping review was to describe any reported human health conditions associated with organophosphates during their use for adult mosquito control in the United States and Canada.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAlternative splicing (AS) in human genes is widely viewed as a mechanism for enhancing proteomic diversity. AS can also impact gene expression levels without increasing protein diversity by producing 'unproductive' transcripts that are targeted for rapid degradation by nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). However, the relative importance of this regulatory mechanism remains underexplored.
