AI Article Synopsis

  • - Ulceroglandular tularemia is an infectious disease spread to humans through bites from arthropods, like ticks.
  • - A case in Austria involved a tick-borne form of tularemia, resulting in the formation of an abscess in a lymph node that required drainage.
  • - The specific strain of the bacteria causing the infection was identified using PCR techniques and multilocus sequence typing.

Article Abstract

Ulceroglandular tularemia is caused by the transmission of by arthropods to a human host. We report a case of tick-borne tularemia in Austria which was followed by an abscess formation in a lymph node, making drainage necessary. subsp. was identified by PCR and multilocus sequence typing.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of ginseng non-edible callus-derived extracellular vesicle (GNEV) on skin regeneration, particularly focusing on its impact on proliferation and migration in human dermal fibroblast (HDF).

Methods: GNEV was isolated from ginseng non-edible callus using sequential filtration and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The extracellular vesicle was characterized using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA).

Background: In recent years, cases of leishmaniosis have been described in animals housed in captivity in zoos in Spain [Bennett's wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus), orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus pygameus), and European otter (Lutra lutra)]. Some of these zoological parks are in endemic areas for both human and animal leishmaniosis, thus it should be very important to include this zoonosis in the differential diagnosis.

Methods: The study was carried out in two zoological parks in Madrid, Madrid Zoo and Faunia, and analyzed seven meerkats.
