We obtained ribosomal and mitochondrial DNA sequences from residents of Amazonas state, Brazil, with Mansonella parasitemias. Phylogenetic analysis of these sequences confirm that M. ozzardi and M. perstans parasites occur in sympatry and reveal the close relationship between M. perstans in Africa and Brazil, providing insights into the parasite's New World origins.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Yi-Shen-Hua-Shi granules (YSHSG) have been shown to improve kidney function in various renal disorders, which are characterized by the sudden decline and impairment of kidney function.
Aim Of The Study: To investigate the precise mechanisms and targets of YSHSG in combating sepsis-induced AKI.
Materials And Methods: Through network pharmacology, the active ingredients, main target proteins, and related signaling pathways of YSHSG in the treatment of sepsis-induced AKI were predicted.

The main stakeholders in external quality assessment (EQA) programs are the participants, in whose interests these challenges are ultimately organised. EQA schemes in the medical field contribute to improving the quality of patient care by evaluating the analytical and diagnostic quality of laboratory and point-of-care tests (POCT) by independent third parties and, if necessary, pointing out erroneous measurement results and analytical or diagnostic improvement potential. Other benefits include the option of using EQA samples for other important laboratory procedures, such as the verification or validation of diagnostic medical devices (IVD-MDs), a contribution to the estimation of measurement uncertainty, a means of training and educating laboratory staff through educational EQA programmes or samples, or even for independent and documented monitoring of staff competence, such as on samples with unusual or even exceptional characteristics.

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a broad-spectrum organophosphate chloride (OP) insecticide widely used in domestic use and open field. However, there is currently no relevant research revealing the toxic effects of CPF exposure on the skin, then it is necessary to comprehensively understand the toxic effects and mechanisms. The results showed that the skin tissue structure and function of mice were significantly disrupted after CPF exposure.

The Hendra virus (HeV) has resulted in epidemics of respiratory and neurological illnesses in animals. Humans have contracted diseases with high fatality rates as a result of infected domestic animals, but effective vaccinations and therapies are currently not available against HeV. Herein, we analyzed the proteome of HeV and constructed an effective and innovative multi-epitope vaccine using immunoinformatics techniques.

One way to treat diabetes mellitus type II is by using α-glucosidase inhibitor, that will slow down the postprandial glucose intake. Metabolomics analysis of Artabotrys sumatranus leaf extract was used in this research to predict the active compounds as α-glucosidase inhibitors from this extract. Both multivariate statistical analysis and machine learning approaches were used to improve the confidence of the predictions.
