Objective: Cognitive and psychiatric symptoms have been increasingly reported after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, developing soon after infection and possibly persisting for several months. We aimed to study this syndrome and start implementing strategies for its assessment.
Methods: Consecutive patients, referred by the infectious disease specialist because of cognitive complaints after COVID-19, were neurologically evaluated.

Background: The treatment of idiopathic refractory nephrotic syndrome (IRNS) remains a difficult problem in clinical practice. This study aims to determine the efficacy and safety of combining low-dose glucocorticoids with rituximab in IRNS treatment.
Methods: This prospective, single-center cohort study enrolled 60 patients who were diagnosed with refractory IRNS with minimal change disease (MCD) or focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and treated at First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.

The isolation and identification of pathogenic bacteria from a variety of samples are critical for controlling bacterial infection-related health problems. The conventional methods, such as plate counting and polymerase chain reaction-based approaches, tend to be time-consuming and reliant on specific instruments, severely limiting the effective identification of these pathogens. In this study, we employed the specificity of the cell wall-binding (CBD) domain of the Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophage 80 alpha (80α) endolysin towards the host bacteria for isolation.

The escalating menace of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) presents a profound global threat to life and assets. However, the incapacity of metal ions/reactive oxygen species (ROS) or the indiscriminate intrinsic interaction of cationic groups to distinguish between bacteria and mammalian cells undermines the essential selectivity required in these nanomaterials for an ideal antimicrobial agent. Hence, we devised and synthesized a range of biocompatible mixed-charge hyperbranched polymer nanoparticles (MCHPNs) incorporating cationic, anionic, and neutral alkyl groups to effectively combat multidrug-resistant bacteria and mitigate AMR.
