A Parasite That Should not be Neglected in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis: .
Turkiye Parazitol Derg
January 2025
Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Medical Microbiology, Erzincan, Türkiye.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of amoebiasis, which has been neglected in recent years according to the World Health Organization, in ulcerative colitis patients and investigate the relationship between amoebiasis and ulcerative colitis.
Methods: The study included 150 individuals, including 100 ulcerative colitis patients and 50 healthy individuals without gastrointestinal complaints. The samples collected were first analyzed macroscopically and then using native-Lugol, trichrome staining, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Clinical Outcomes of Liver Abscesses in Adults: A 10-Year Experience at a Tertiary Care Center in Northern India.

Department of Anatomy, Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Memorial Medical College, Kanpur, IND.
Purpose Hepatic abscesses remain a significant clinical challenge due to high morbidity and mortality. This research aims to examine the etiological spectrum, management approaches, clinical features, and results in hepatic abscesses in a tertiary care facility in northern India, emphasizing the distinctions among pyogenic liver abscesses (PLAs) and amoebic liver abscesses (ALAs). Methods This retrospective study was done at GSVM Medical College, Kanpur, analyzing 725 patients with hepatic abscesses over a 10-year period.

November 2024
Laser Eye Microsurgery Centre Clinic of Prof. Jerzy Szaflik, 00-215 Warsaw, Poland.
Background: Diseases in humans caused by amphizoic amoebae that can result in visual impairment and even blindness, have recently been identified more frequently worldwide. Etiologically complex incidents of keratitis, including those connected with strains detected in Poland, were evaluated in this study.
Methods: Corneal samples from cases resistant to antimicrobial therapy assessed for epidemiological, microbiological and parasitological aspects were investigated by phase-contrast microscope, slit lamp and by confocal microscopy.
Nitroxoline evidence amoebicidal activity against Acanthamoeba castellanii through DNA damage and the stress response pathways.

Department of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Fudan University, Shanghai, China. Electronic address:
Acanthamoeba castellanii is a widespread unicellular eukaryote found in diverse environments, including tap water, soil, and swimming pools. It is responsible for severe infections, such as Acanthamoeba keratitis and granulomatous amebic encephalitis, particularly in individuals with immunocompromisation. The ability of protozoans to form dormant and persistent cysts complicates treatment, as current therapies are ineffective against cyst stages and suffer from poor specificity and side effects.

Freie Universität Berlin, Physics Department, Experimental Molecular Biophysics, Arnimallee 14, 14195 Berlin, Germany.
Vibrational Stark effect (VSE) spectroscopy has become one of the most important experimental approaches to determine the strength of noncovalent, electrostatic interactions in chemistry and biology and to quantify their influence on structure and reactivity. Nitriles (C≡N) have been widely used as VSE probes, but their application has been complicated by an anomalous hydrogen bond (HB) blueshift which is not encompassed within the VSE framework. We present an empirical model describing the anomalous HB blueshift in terms of H-bonding geometry, i.
