A 104 kDa protein (SAP 104) accumulates in rice seedlings in response to several abiotic stress conditions and immunological homologues of rice SAP 104 have been detected in several monocot and dicot species, as also Neurospora crassa, a fungus. In this report, we show that the amino acid sequence of a tryptic peptide generated from purified SAP 104 bears significant homology with an ATP-binding domain of the HSP 100 family proteins of Arabidopsis thaliana and Glycine max. It is further shown that differential uninduced and induced (by high-temperature stress) levels of this protein are accumulated in various organs of the mature rice plant grown under field conditions. Significant uninduced levels of this protein were in particular found in developing and mature rice grains. Seeds/grains of several other plant genera (i.e. Triticum aestivum, Zea mays, Brassica juncea) were also found to contain high uninduced levels of SAP 104. Importantly, the levels of uninduced SAP 104 in rice grains were found to decline during the seed germination phase: after two days of germination, this protein was undetectable in tissues representing pooled sample of seeds and just-emerged seedlings. Tissue print-immunoblotting analysis has indicated that in seeds high levels of this protein are specifically present in the embryo portion.

Epidemiology and Outcomes of Recurrent Infection Among Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipients: A Single-center, Retrospective 10-year Study.
Open Forum Infect Dis

Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, Seattle, Washington, USA.
Article Synopsis
- * Among 3,479 HCT patients, 416 had an initial CDI, with a recurrence rate of 10% within 12 weeks; metronidazole monotherapy was linked to a higher risk of recurrence.
- * Results indicate that while only a small percentage required hospital admission after recurrence, no patients died within 30 days, highlighting the need for further research to understand the risk factors for recurrence and to improve treatment strategies.
Standard automated perimetry for glaucoma and diseases of the retina and visual pathways: Current and future perspectives.

Article Synopsis
- Static automated perimetry (SAP) is a crucial technique for evaluating visual field function in conditions like glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration, although its basic methodology has remained largely unchanged since the 1980s.
- Ongoing research is aimed at addressing issues such as optimizing testing parameters, understanding the impact of subjective responses, and aligning structural and functional assessments for better defect detection.
- The manuscript will discuss psychophysical principles, propose frameworks for improving tests, and explore methods to enhance clinical outcomes by reconciling subjective responses with objective measurements.
Neuronal alpha-Synuclein Disease integrated staging system performance in PPMI, PASADENA, and SPARK baseline cohorts.
NPJ Parkinsons Dis

Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders, New Haven, CT, USA.
The Neuronal alpha-Synuclein Disease (NSD) biological definition and Integrated Staging System (NSD-ISS) provide a research framework to identify individuals with Lewy body pathology and stage them based on underlying biology and increasing degree of functional impairment. Utilizing data from the PPMI, PASADENA, and SPARK studies, we developed and applied biologic and clinical data-informed definitions for the NSD-ISS across the disease continuum. Individuals enrolled as Parkinson's disease, Prodromal, or Healthy Controls were defined and staged based on biological, clinical, and functional anchors at baseline.

Background: Emergency department (ED) crowding is a major patient safety concern and has a negative impact on healthcare systems and healthcare providers. We hypothesized that it would be feasible to control crowding by employing a multifaceted approach consisting of systematically fast-tracking patients who are mostly not in need of a hospital stay as assessed by an initial nurse and treated by decision competent physicians.
Methods: Data from 120,901 patients registered in a secondary care ED from the 4t quarter of 2021 to the 1st quarter of 2024 was drawn from the electronic health record's data warehouse using the SAP Web Intelligence tool and processed in the Python programming language.
Early detection of necrosis in low-enhanced pancreatic parenchyma using contrast-enhanced computed tomography was a better predictor of clinical outcomes than pancreatic inflammation: A multicentric cohort study of severe acute pancreatitis.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how well contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) predicts outcomes for patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) by using the computed tomography severity index (CTSI).
- A retrospective analysis of 1,097 SAP patients from 44 institutions in Japan found that while necrosis in pancreatic tissue increased mortality risks, the overall inflammation did not significantly impact mortality rates.
- The results showed that the CTSI had a moderate ability (AUC 0.65) to predict mortality, with significant correlations between higher levels of pancreatic necrosis and increased odds of death.
