A Phylogeographic Description of in the United States.

Histoplasmosis is one of the most under-diagnosed and under-reported endemic mycoses in the United States. is the causative agent of this disease. To date, molecular epidemiologic studies detailing the phylogeographic structure of in the United States have been limited.

Enhanced Surveillance for Histoplasmosis-9 States, 2018-2019.

Background: Histoplasmosis is often described as the most common endemic mycosis in the United States, but much remains unknown about its epidemiology among the general population.

Methods: We conducted enhanced surveillance in 9 states during 2018-2019 by identifying cases through routine surveillance and interviewing 301 patients about their clinical features and exposures.

Results: Before being tested for histoplasmosis, 60% saw a health care provider ≥3 times, and 53% received antibacterial medication.

Electrochemical Detection of Neurotransmitters.

Neurotransmitters are important chemical messengers in the nervous system that play a crucial role in physiological and physical health. Abnormal levels of neurotransmitters have been correlated with physical, psychotic, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, addiction, depression, and schizophrenia. Although multiple neurotechnological approaches have been reported in the literature, the detection and monitoring of neurotransmitters in the brain remains a challenge and continues to garner significant attention.
