The study was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of liposomal, micellar, and water-soluble drug forms of diminazene for its localization in cells and selective accumulation at the sites of aggregation of pathogenic organisms. Pharmacological and dynamic properties of a new injection micellar diminazene preparation were experimentally determined. These properties were compared with the same parameters obtained for the water-soluble and liposomal diminazene aceturate drug forms. The drug forms studied may be arranged in the following order of decreasing effectiveness of accumulation of diminazene in red and white blood cells and in murine organs: liposome form, micellar form, and water-soluble form.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections of both dogs and humans, with most caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). Recurrent UPEC infections are a major concern in the treatment and management of UTIs in both species. In humans, the ability of UPECs to form intracellular bacterial communities (IBCs) within urothelial cells has been implicated in recurrent UTIs.

Background: People with disabilities due to neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), such as leprosy and lymphatic filariasis (LF), often encounter situations of stigma and discrimination that significantly impact their mental wellbeing. Mental wellbeing services are often not available at the peripheral level in NTD-endemic countries, and there is a need for such services. Basic psychological support for persons with NTDs (BPS-N) from peers is an important potential solution for addressing mental wellbeing problems.

Sulfone motifs play important roles in bioactive compounds and functional materials. The development of efficient methodologies for constructing sulfonyl-containing compounds has thus attracted considerable attention. Here, we introduce a protocol for the preparation of alkyl aryl sulfones under mild conditions.

Background: Accurate differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases is challenging, but crucial for the management and treatment, particularly given the development of disease-modifying drug therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this work, we investigate imaging biomarkers derived from T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a focus on differentiating Parkinson-plus syndromes from other relevant diagnostic groups in dementia and Parkinson's disease (PD).

Method: MR scans from 1206 subjects and three cohorts were used: Parkinson's Disease Biomarkers Program (PDBP), Amsterdam Dementia Cohort (ADC) and PredictND cohort (PND) (Table 1).

Adeptrix Corp, Beverly, MA, USA.

Background: The rapidly growing pipeline of target-specific Alzheimer's Disease (AD) therapeutic candidates requires accompanying tests that can identify patients likely to have a beneficial response. The growing importance of multiple pathologies in determining AD progression and treatment response underscores this need. Our work focuses on establishing analytical capability to expand detectable forms of major protein drug targets for AD: Tau, amyloid beta (Ab) and a-Synuclein (aS) proteoforms as potential personalized molecular signatures.
