Objective: To evaluate the favorite colors of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.
Methods: Following examination, 50 patients were diagnosed in accordance with the 2005 proposal of the International League Against Epilepsy and the definition of drugresistant epilepsy since 2010. The favorite color examination used a six-color tape and Trycolors, an online color mixing tool. The patients' color preferences were compared with those of 50 individuals without epilepsy.
Results: Patients with drug-resistant epilepsy preferred the color blue the most (30%), significantly more yellow (p = 0.0001), and significantly less green (p < 0.0001) compared to individuals without epilepsy. By mixing these colors at a certain percentage, we obtained the Go Ben color.
Significance: This information on preferred colors can help to improve compliance and can be utilized in designing medications and environments for patients with epilepsy.

N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification is a crucial RNA modification widely present in eukaryotic RNA. Previous studies have demonstrated that ac4C plays a pivotal role in viral infections. Despite numerous studies highlighting the strong correlation between ac4C modification and cancer progression, its detailed roles and molecular mechanisms in normal physiological processes and cancer progression remain incompletely understood.

Background: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by () However, the emergence of drug-resistant strains of this bacterium, especially multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains, is a serious concern. This study aimed to evaluate the global prevalence of MDR and its implications.
Methods: Using PRISMA guidelines, we systematically reviewed ISI Web of Science, MEDLINE, and EMBASE up to August 2023 to assess the prevalence of MDR .

Background: Previous microbiological investigations have demonstrated a significant correlation between complex (CKC) infection and mastitis. Recent studies have confirmed the existence of the CKC, with () identified as the primary infectious agent. Examining the incidence of CKC in cases of severe non-lactational mastitis, alongside the clinical characteristics of infected patients, as well as evaluating the drug sensitivity testing protocols for CKC, can provide a more robust foundation for the diagnosis and treatment of CKC infections.

In Ethiopia, extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is a significant public health challenge, and drug resistance (DR) in EPTB is often overlooked. In a cross-sectional study conducted between August 2022 and October 2023, we aimed to explore the magnitude of phenotypic drug resistance and identify genetic mutations linked to resistance using 189 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isolates cultured from extrapulmonary clinical specimens.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and RNA N⁶-methyladenosine (m A) have been linked to leukemia drug resistance. However, whether and how lncRNAs and m A coordinately regulate resistance remain elusive. Here, we show that many differentially expressed lncRNAs enrich m A, and more lncRNAs tend to have higher m A content in CML cells resistant to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
