Role of Endogenous Lipopolysaccharides in Neurological Disorders.
Cells
December 2022
Department of Pharmacology, JSS College of Pharmacy, JSS Academy of Higher Education & Research, Mysuru 570015, Karnataka, India.
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a cell-wall immunostimulatory endotoxin component of Gram-negative bacteria. A growing body of evidence reveals that alterations in the bacterial composition of the intestinal microbiota (gut dysbiosis) disrupt host immune homeostasis and the intestinal barrier function. Microbial dysbiosis leads to a proinflammatory milieu and systemic endotoxemia, which contribute to the development of neurodegenerative diseases and metabolic disorders.

Article Synopsis
- Although brain death is legally recognized across the U.S., there are inconsistencies in state laws regarding medical standards, handling family objections, and addressing religious concerns surrounding its determination.
- The American Academy of Neurology and related organizations are working to standardize how brain death is determined to maintain its integrity in clinical practice.
- Proposed revisions to the Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA) aim to address these variations and improve the legal framework for declaring death by neurologic criteria.
Seroprevalence of antibodies to astrovirus in chickens in Grenada, West Indies.

Department of Pathobiology, School of Veterinary Medicine, St. George's University, Grenada, West Indies.
Aim: Chicken astroviruses (CAstV) are known to cause mild gastroenteritis, growth depression, and even mortality in poultry, especially in chickens, turkeys, and ducks. To the best our knowledge, there is no published information on CAstV in Grenada. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of astrovirus in chickens in Grenada.

Sea Education Association Woods Hole MA USA; Oekologia Environmental Research & Education Falmouth MA USA.
Article Synopsis
- Over the past 5 years, "golden tides" of brown macroalga in the Caribbean threaten biodiversity and cause economic losses in fisheries and tourism.
- In 2015, a rare holopelagic species was identified as a cause of these events, but no molecular data confirmed its identification until now.
- New research using mitogenomes and chloroplast genomes revealed consistent genetic differences among holopelagic species, highlighting the need for more detailed genetic studies to understand their ecological impacts.
An Audit of Top Citations Published in Pediatric Emergency Care.

Arch Iran Med
April 2015
Department of Gastroenterology, Alexandra Hospital, Redditch, UK.
Celiac disease (CD) is an immune disorder that is associated with gluten sensitivity in people who are genetically predisposed. In celiac disease, food containing gluten mounts inflammatory response that results in villous atrophy in small bowel and increased permeability. This disorder is not only related to complications in the small bowel, but also has association with manifestations outside the GI tract.
