Article Synopsis
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common viral infection in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and can range from asymptomatic cases to serious organ-specific issues, making it particularly important post-transplant.
- This study focused on identifying the frequency of CMV-associated colitis in KTRs experiencing lower gastrointestinal bleeding, enrolling 95 participants within a year-long timeframe.
- Results revealed that 22.1% of those studied had CMV colitis, with most patients (76.8%) presenting with fresh rectal bleeding, alongside findings of colonic ulcers and erosions in a significant portion of the cohort.
Article Synopsis
- - A brain abscess is a localized area of dead tissue in the brain caused by infection (or sometimes trauma), characterized by a membrane surrounding the necrosis.
- - The case described involves a young, otherwise healthy female with multiple brain abscesses in her left and right brain regions, presenting unusual symptoms like weakness in both legs, seizures, and fever.
- - After receiving treatment that included draining the abscess and antifungal medications, the patient's acute kidney injury improved, leading to recovery as shown in both her clinical status and medical imaging.
Wheat yellow (stripe) rust, caused by f. sp. (), is one of the most devastating diseases of wheat worldwide.

However, the delivery of required concentrations of functionalized T-cells to the target tissues remains a problem. We describe a novel method to functionalize T-cells with magnetic nanocapsules and target them with electromagnetic tweezers.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSimultaneous multipass resistive-pulse sensing and fluorescence imaging have been used to correlate the size and fluorescence intensity of individual lipid liposomes composed of polar lipid extracts labeled with membrane-bound 3,3-dioctadecyloxacarbocyanine (DiO) fluorescent molecules. Here, a nanopipet serves as a waveguide to direct excitation light to the resistive-pulse sensing zone at the end of the nanopipet tip. Individual DiO-labeled liposomes (>50 nm radius) were multipassed back and forth through the orifices of glass nanopipets' 110-150 nm radius via potential switching to obtain subnanometer sizing precision, while recording the fluorescence intensity of the membrane-bound DiO molecules.
