Toxoplasmosis seroconversion is diagnosed on the presence of fluorescent antibodies. IgG level kinetics and presence of IgM at the Remington test are usually the points taken in consideration. But the Remington test can be false positive, or inadequate. The authors report their experience of gel filtration of sera in toxoplasmosis, and discuss the help that this method can be establishing diagnosis in the case of a positive Remington test.

Background: Quadriceps dysfunction is ubiquitous after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR). Addressing quadriceps dysfunction is crucial to improve function, reduce the reinjury risk, and maintain long-term knee health. While deficits specific to the quadriceps are well documented, less is known about the effect of an ACL injury on other lower extremity muscle groups.

Background: Antipsychotic polypharmacy (APP) is frequently prescribed for schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. Despite the inconsistent findings on efficacy, APP may be beneficial for subgroups of psychotic patients. This meta-analysis of individual patient data investigated moderators of efficacy and tolerability of APP in adult patients with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders.

(1) Background: Due to the wide application in medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry of flavonoid molecules, which are one of the most famous types of secondary plant metabolites, our work has come within the framework of bio-consulting to help in the identification of the molecule(s) responsible for the antibacterial effect which will be the active principle of a natural antibiotic developed from Algerian fir using bioinformatics tools. (2) Methods: The docking method was used to test the antiviral activity on SARS-CoV-2 virus and the antibacterial activity on Gram-positive and Gram-negative of 12 polyphenolic molecules present in the ethyl acetate and -butanol extracts of Numidian fir leaves, and identify the molecules responsible for these specific biological activities. (3) Results: The findings revealed that it is possible that two molecules, hyperoside and quercitrin, have a high capacity to inhibit SARS-CoV-2, and it is important to mention that they are the most quantitatively abundant molecules in the extract.
