AI Article Synopsis

  • - A 52-year-old healthy woman was diagnosed with erysipelas, a skin infection, that appeared unusually on her abdomen and breast.
  • - She responded well to medical treatment, indicating potential for recovery.
  • - The case highlights the importance of being alert for atypical presentations of infections for quicker diagnosis and better management.

Article Abstract

We present a clinical case detailing the presentation of erysipelas in a 52-year-old immunocompetent female, wherein the infection displayed an unusual localization encompassing the skin of the anterior abdominal area and breast. The patient exhibited a favorable response to medical treatment. It is paramount to underscore the significance of recognizing such cases, which demand a heightened level of clinical suspicion to facilitate swift diagnosis and effective management strategies.

We have found that surface superstructures made of "monolayer alloys" of Tl and Pb on Si(111), having giant Rashba effect, produce nonreciprocal spin-polarized photocurrent via circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) by obliquely shining circularly polarized near-infrared (IR) light. CPGE is here caused by the injection of in-plane spin into spin-split surface-state bands, which is observed only on Tl-Pb alloy layers but not on single-element Tl nor Pb layers. In the Tl-Pb monolayer alloys, despite their monatomic thickness, the magnitude of CPGE is comparable to or even larger than the cases of many other spin-split thin-film materials.

Osteoarthritis (OA) poses a significant healthcare burden with limited treatment options. While genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified over 100 OA-associated loci, translating these findings into therapeutic targets remains challenging. To address this gap, we mapped gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and 3D chromatin structure in primary human articular chondrocytes in both resting and OA-mimicking conditions.

Background: SHINE (NCT03507790, COG0201) is a Phase 2 randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled 6‐month trial, conducted to study the effect of the sigma‐2 receptor (S2R) modulator CT1812 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). An unbiased assessment of CSF proteomes from the patients that completed the SHINE trial was performed to identify pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers of target/pathway engagement and disease modification for CT1812.

Method: Tandem‐mass tag mass spectrometry (TMT‐MS) CSF proteomics was performed on baseline and end of study samples from an analysis of SHINE Part A and B to test the effects of two doses (100 mg, 300 mg; given orally, once daily) of CT1812 compared to placebo in mild to moderate AD patients.

Shining a Light on Spectrophotometry in Bacteriology.

Antibiotics (Basel)

Spectrophotometry is widely used in biological sciences. In bacteriology, spectrophotometric monitoring of cell numbers during cultivation provides a rapid assessment of growth. Unfortunately, familiarity with this technique has led scientists to become complacent in its usage.
