Bloodstream infection (BSI) is a common, life-threatening complication of treatment for cancer. Predicting BSI before onset clinical symptoms would enable preemptive therapy, but there no reliable screening test.
The draft nuclear genome sequence of the snail-transmitted, dimorphic, parasitic, platyhelminth Schistosoma mansoni revealed eight genes encoding proteins that contain Universal Stress Protein (USP) domain. is a causative agent human schistosomiasis, severe and debilitating Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) poverty, which endemic in at least 76 countries. availability sequences species presents opportunities for bioinformatics genomics analyses associated gene families could be targets...
Human schistosomiasis is a freshwater snail-transmitted disease caused by parasitic flatworms of the Schistosoma genus. haematobium, mansoni, and japonicum are three major species infecting humans. These parasites undergo complex developmental life cycle, in which they encounter plethora environmental signals. The presence genes encoding universal stress protein (USP) domain genomes spp. suggests these equipped to respond unfavorable conditions. Though data on gene expression available for...

Tuberculosis (TB) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are two catastrophic diseases affecting millions of people worldwide every year; considered to be pandemic by the World Health Organization. This study aims compare recent trends in TB HIV United States Sub-Saharan African Countries. Data (incidence, prevalence death rates TB) for States, Cameroon, Nigeria, South Africa were collected from The Joint Nations Programme HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), US Census Bureau Organization (WHO) databases...
<p><strong>Background: </strong>Diabetic retinopathy is a major cause of blindness worldwide. The associated loss productivity and quality life the patients with diabetic will lead to additional socioeconomic burden. This study aims determine level awareness among patients. <strong></strong></p><p><strong>Materials Methods: </strong>This hospital-based cross sectional study, was carried out at Diabetic Ophthalmology clinics University...
Apicomplexan protist parasites utilize host sugars transported into the parasite by sugar transporter proteins for use as an energy source. We performed a phylum-wide phylogenetic analysis of apicomplexan repertoire. Phylogenetic analyses revealed six major subfamilies transporters. Transporters in one subfamily have undergone expansions Piroplasma species and Gregarina niphandrodes , while other are highly divergent contain genes found only or two species. Analyses their presence ciliates,...
Treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) necessitates continuous risk assessment leukemic disease burden and infections that arise in the setting immunosuppression. This study was performed to assess feasibility a hybrid capture next-generation sequencing panel longitudinally measure molecular clearance microbial species abundance 20 pediatric patients with ALL throughout induction chemotherapy. proof concept helps establish technical conceptual framework we anticipate will be...
Abstract Treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) necessitates continuous risk assessment leukemic disease burden as well infections that arise in the setting immunosuppression and myelosuppression. This study was performed to assess feasibility a hybrid capture NGS panel longitudinally measure molecular clearance microbial species abundance 20 pediatric patients with ALL throughout induction chemotherapy. proof-of-concept helps establish technical conceptual framework we anticipate...
