The non-polymorphic HLA-E molecule offers opportunities for new universal immunotherapeutic approaches to chronic infectious diseases. Chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is driven in part by T cell dysfunction due to elevated levels of the HBV envelope (Env) protein hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Here we report the characterization of three genotypic variants of an HLA-E-binding HBsAg peptide, Env identified through bioinformatic predictions and verified by biochemical and cellular assays.

Background: Despite its life-threatening nature, serotonin syndrome (SS) often eludes initial recognition and remains an underreported condition that can occur with the administration of serotonergic drugs alone or in combination with other medications known to increase levels of serotonin. The diagnosis of SS relies on clinical assessment, as laboratory tests and imaging studies cannot definitively confirm the condition. The majority of reported cases of SS involve polypharmacy rather than single-drug overdose.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease targeting multiple organs through immune complexes. Pericarditis and pericardial effusions are often encountered; however, cases of biventricular failure are notably less common in the setting of SLE. We report a 43-year-old male patient presenting with cardiac tamponade with biventricular failure in SLE.

Superior mesenteric venous (SMV) thrombosis is a rare complication of severe appendicitis. Early recognition is due to improved imaging modalities, which ultimately lead to more prompt intervention. Despite being an uncommon phenomenon, SMV thrombosis can have complications stemming from venous hypertension, such as gastric and esophageal varices, bowel ischemia, sepsis, and death.

Background: Phenotyping of plant traits presents a significant bottleneck in Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping and genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Computerized phenotyping using digital images promises rapid, robust, and reproducible measurements of dimension, shape, and color traits of plant organs, including grain, leaf, and floral traits.
Results: We introduce GRABSEEDS, which is specifically tailored to extract a comprehensive set of features from plant images based on state-of-the-art computer vision and deep learning methods.
