This study was carried out to determine the seroprevalence of T. gondii and L. monocytogenes in the dogs of 15 villages in 7 towns of the Kars Province. The blood samples were taken from 179 house dogs of which 15 were female and 164, male. The ages of the dogs was as follows: 96 of them were 1-3 years old, and 83 of them were 4 years or older. All of the samples were tested with SFDT for T.gondii and OAT for L. monocytogenes. Antibodies against to T. gondii were found in 172 specimens (96.1%). Antibodies against L. monocytogenes were found in 40 of the specimens (22.3%). The seropositivity for T. gondii was 96.3% in males and 93.3% in female dogs. The seropositivity was 94.8% in the 1-3 age group and 96.3% in the group of 4 years or older. For L. monocytogenes, the seropositivity was 22.0% in males and 26.7% in females. The seropositivity was 27.1% in the 1-3 age group and 16.9% in the group of 4 years or older. The results of this study indicate a high prevalence of T.gondii and L.monocytogenes in the region.

The Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) is a classic test used to assess episodic verbal memory in research and clinical practice. We aimed to adapt the RAVLT materials into Russian, provide performance norms across the adult lifespan for the Russian adaptation, and develop a mobile application for automated RAVLT administration across languages. We created three psycholinguistically matched alternative versions of the RAVLT materials in Russian and incorporated them into a new tablet application.

Unconfirmed penicillin allergies over time lead to poor health outcomes and increased health-care cost. Health disparities (HD) can create barriers in optimizing penicillin allergy care. The objective was to characterize HDs in our primary care-led amoxicillin challenge (PLAC) delabeling pathway within a universal coverage health care system.

Background: The impact of protein-bound uremic toxins, specifically indoxyl sulfate (IS) on peritoneal dialysis (PD) complications remains controversial. This study aimed to explore the link between serum total IS (tIS) levels, proinflammatory cytokines in serum and peritoneal dialysis effluent (PDE), and PD technique survival.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 84 patients were followed up for three years and analyzed.

Background: Low-dose (LD) oral food challenge (OFC) with heated cow's milk (CM; 3 mL) effectively prevents CM elimination in children with CM allergy (CMA). We investigated the long-term prognoses after an LD-OFC for CMA.
Methods: Children with immediate CMA symptoms after consuming <25 mL of CM within 2 years of a baseline LD-OFC were retrospectively analyzed.
