Fine-needle aspirates from a 1.5-cm cutaneous mass in a Cocker Spaniel were submitted for cytologic examination. Marked pyogranulomatous inflammation and fungal organisms were present, identified as Candida parapsilosis complex by MALDI-ToF following fungal culture.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores infection types in patients with deep tissue infections following the surgical removal of soft-tissue sarcomas (STS), focusing on the role of anaerobic bacteria and associated risk factors.
  • Analysis of 64 patients revealed that Staphylococcus aureus was the most prevalent pathogen identified, with a significant number of infections being polymicrobial and involving anaerobic organisms.
  • The time between tumor removal and surgical debridement was notably longer for anaerobic infections compared to aerobic ones, suggesting that infections presenting after 53 days are likely to contain anaerobic pathogens, highlighting the need for targeted antibiotic treatment.

Background: is a genus of very small flea beetles living in the leaf litter layer of Asian forests, easily sampled with Winkler extraction. The genus is presumably very rich in species, but their taxonomy is hampered by their small size and morphological uniformity.

There is no way to prevent functional declines related to Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The use of occupational therapy (OT) has been shown to be successful in managing some aspects of AD. We added home-based OT to evidence-based best practice for AD with the aim of delaying functional decline in people with AD.

It is essential to understand the role of cardiolipin (CL) in mitochondrial membrane organization given that changes in CL levels contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction in type II diabetes, ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure, breast cancer, and aging. Specifically, there are contradictory data on how CL influences the molecular packing of membrane phospholipids. Therefore, we determined how increasing levels of heart CL impacted molecular packing in large unilamellar vesicles, modeling heterogeneous lipid mixtures found within the mitochondrial inner membrane, using merocyanine (MC540) fluorescence.
