Surface serology is an important determinant in Spiroplasma systematics. Reciprocal antigen/antibody reactions between spiroplasmas and individual antisera delineate the 38 described groups and species. However, reciprocal serology is impractical for large-scale studies. This report describes a successful, streamlined polyvalent screening approach used to examine isolates from an environmental survey.

Background: Snakebite is a neglected tropical disease that causes significant morbidity and mortality in India. In this study, we describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of Echis carinatus sochureki envenoming from Western Rajasthan. We document the clinical ineffectiveness of the currently available Indian polyvalent antivenom in managing E.

Cryptococcosis is a lethal mycosis instigated by the pathogenic species Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii, primarily affects the lungs, manifesting as pneumonia, and the brain, where it presents as meningitis. Mortality rate could reach 100% if infections remain untreated in cryptococcal meningitis. Treatment options for cryptococcosis are limited and and there are no licensed vaccines clinically available to treat or prevent cryptococcosis.

The early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) plays a vital role in slowing the progression of AD and improving the quality of human life. However, it is still a challenge in the medical field. Herein, an ultrasensitive fluorescent aptasensor was designed for the detection of special phosphorylated tau181 (P-tau181) by coupling with polyvalent aptamers (PAs) structure, hybridization chain reaction (HCR), and the CRISPR-Cas system.

Envenomings from Russell's viper typically result in local tissue damage and bleeding complications, but the bites from common krait and cobra primarily cause neurotoxic effects. While most symptoms can be treated with appropriate antivenom, additional support is necessary for several snakebite victims to tackle a broad range of unusual complications that they develop following bites. Reversible vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS), characterised by the constriction of cerebral arteries, is a rare but serious issue, presenting with severe headaches and, in extreme cases, haemorrhagic/ischaemic stroke.

Article Synopsis
- * DNANAs are made from a stable DNA structure that attaches to cell membranes, allowing precise delivery of glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase, reducing side effects from enzyme leakage.
- * The method effectively depletes glucose and produces toxic hydroxyl radicals near tumor cells, showing promising results for cancer therapy both in lab experiments and in live subjects.
