Background: We previously identified a 44-base pair deletion in (ATP-binding cassette sub-family A member 7) (ABCA7) that is significantly associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in African Americans (AA), producing a frameshift mutation resulting in a truncated protein (p.Arg578Alafs). ABCA7 is a lipid transporter across cellular membranes.

Bacterial genomes primarily diversify via gain, loss, and rearrangement of genetic material in their flexible accessory genome. Yet the dynamics of accessory genome evolution are very poorly understood, in contrast to the core genome where diversification is readily described by mutations and homologous recombination. Here, we tackle this problem for the case of very closely related genomes.

Importance: Influenza vaccination remains the most important intervention to prevent influenza morbidity and mortality among nursing home residents. The additional effectiveness of recombinant influenza vaccine vs standard dose vaccines was demonstrated in outpatient older adults but has not been evaluated in nursing home populations.
Objective: To compare hospitalization rates among residents in nursing homes immunized with a recombinant vs a standard dose egg-based influenza vaccine.

Background: Recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factors (G-CSF)-induced aortitis is a rare but particularly serious adverse event, commonly seen in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The aim of this article is to clarify the clinical characteristics of G-CSF- induced aortitis and provide effective references for clinical diagnosis and intervention.
Methods: Case reports of adverse reactions of aortitis induced by G-CSF were collected from the relevant databases.

A 68-year-old male developed foreign body sensation in both eyes, photophobia and tearing in the right eye approximately 6 weeks after initiating dupilumab for severe atopic dermatitis. The right eye presented a crescent-shaped superficial-stromal ulcer in the peripheral cornea with an undermined edge, which was separated from the limbus of the cornea by a clear zone. The left eye had a pannus at the limbus of the cornea.
