Dengue fever is a rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease, increasingly endemic in tropical and subtropical regions. This case report details the clinical presentation of a 52-year-old male who developed severe symptoms shortly after returning from a two-week trip to El Salvador, an area known for dengue endemicity. The patient presented with a five-day history of high-grade fever, malaise, diarrhea, dizziness, and intermittent blurry vision, accompanied by chills, dry cough, headaches, and generalized pain.

Rutin, a flavonoid phytochemical compound, plays a vital role in human health. It is used in treating capillary fragility and has anti-Alzheimer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. In this study, Ti-Mo-Ni-O nanotubes (NTs) were used, for the first time, in an unprecedented plant biotechnology application, wherein in vitro Philodendron shoots () known as "Imperial Red" were targeted for rutin accumulation.

Indoor UV damage is a serious problem that is often ignored. Common glasses cannot filter UV rays well and have fragility and environmental issues. UV-shielding transparent wood (TW) holds promise, yet striking the right balance between blocking UV rays and allowing sufficient visible-light transmission poses a challenge.

Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a critical biomarker for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Herein, we report a novel integrated lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) platform for highly sensitive point-of-care testing (POCT) of cTnI using hierarchical dendritic copper-nickel (HD-nanoCu-Ni) nanostructures. The electrodeposited HD-nanoCu-Ni film (∼22 μm thick) on an ITO-coated glass substrate exhibits superior capillary action and structural integrity.

Cardiac amyloidosis represents a spectrum of conditions characterized by the accumulation of insoluble fibrils, resulting in progressive deposition and myocardial dysfunction. The exact mechanisms contributing to the heightened risk of thromboembolic events and bleeding tendencies in cardiac amyloidosis remain unclear. Proteins such as transthyretin in transthyretin amyloidosis and light chains in light-chain amyloidosis, along with acute phase proteins in amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis, play complex roles in the coagulation cascade, affecting both coagulation initiation and fibrinolysis regulation.
