Department of Radiology, Nemours Children's Health, 1600 Rockland Rd., Wilmington, DE 19803, USA.

Evaluating altered mental status and suspected meningeal disorders in children often begins with imaging, typically before a lumbar puncture. The challenge is that meningeal enhancement is a common finding across a range of pathologies, making diagnosis complex. This review proposes a categorization of meningeal diseases based on their predominant imaging characteristics.

Human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae forms multiple epigenetically and phenotypically distinct intra-populations by invertase PsrA-driven inversions of DNA methyltransferase hsdS genes in the colony opacity-determinant (cod) locus. As manifested by phase switch between opaque and transparent colonies, different genome methylation patterns or epigenomes confer pathogenesis-associated traits, but it is unknown how the pathogen controls the hsdS inversion orientations. Here, we report our finding of the SpxA1-TenA toxin-antitoxin (TA) system that regulates the orientations of hsdS inversions, and thereby bacterial epigenome and associated traits (e.

The clinical manifestation of intracranial mycotic aneurysms (ICMAs), which are rare but carry high risks of rupture and early mortality, remains poorly understood. We present a case of an ICMA that rapidly developed and ruptured after the diagnosis of meningitis caused by (), which rarely causes bacterial meningitis. A 54-year-old man presented with a headache that worsened on coughing, without altered consciousness or vomiting.

Ecofriendly Synthesis of Nickel Oxide Nanoparticles From Fissidens Species and Its Biological Applications.

Luminescence

December 2024

Department of Biomaterials, Saveetha Dental College and Hospital, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha University, Chennai, India.

The present study was performed to synthesize eco-friendly nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiONPs) from the aqueous extract of Fissidens species (FS) and explore its biological activities. Phytochemicals, namely, alkaloids, flavonoids, sterols, tannins, proteins, carbohydrates and phenols, were present in the aqueous extract of Fissidens sp. The UV-Vis and FT-IR analyses of FS-NiONPs revealed a prominent peak at 392 nm, along with functional groups that facilitate the formation of FS-NiONPs.
