AI Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a rare case of a human infection caused by a fungus known to primarily affect cattle, leading to systemic infection and abortion.
- The patient had B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) and developed a serious rhinocerebral infection that was resistant to Amphotericin treatment.
- The article also explores the taxonomy of the fungus, which typically only infects members of the order Mucorales.
Article Abstract
(), formerly , is a causative agent of bovine systemic infection and abortion. Human infections caused by this species are extremely rare. Here, we present a case of a patient with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) who was diagnosed with a rhinocerebral infection caused by this fungus. Amphotericin treatment of the patient proved unsuccessful. This type of disease is otherwise nearly exclusively limited to members of the order Mucorales. The taxonomy of the causative agent is discussed.

Ensuring everyone enjoys healthy lifestyles and well-being at all ages, Progress has been made in increasing access to clean water and sanitation facilities and reducing the spread of epidemics and diseases. The synthesis of nano-particles (NPs) by using microalgae is a new nanobiotechnology due to the use of the biomolecular (corona) of microalgae as a capping and reducing agent for NP creation. This investigation explores the capacity of a distinct indigenous microalgal strain to synthesize silver nano-particles (AgNPs), as well as its effectiveness against multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria and its ability to degrade Azo dye (Methyl Red) in wastewater.

Fatigue is one of the most prevalent and disabling symptoms among patients with MS, but there is limited research investigating the longitudinal determinants of fatigue progression. This study aims to identify the sociodemographic, behavioral and clinical characteristics, and therapeutic regimens that are correlated with worsening fatigue over time in patients diagnosed with MS. This is a retrospective chart review of 483 patients.
