In the management of critically ill patients in emergency departments, rapid sequence induction (RSI) of anaesthesia is often required. This article examines the elements of RSI that are necessary before before endotracheal tube placement and reviews the findings of a national audit project, conducted by Royal College of Anaesthetists and Difficult Airway Society. It also considers the role of nurses in RSI procedures.

Background: The α-actinin-4 (ACTN4) gene encodes an actin-binding protein, which plays a crucial role in maintaining the structure and function of podocytes. Previous studies have confirmed that ACTN4 mutations can lead to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis-1 (FSGS1), a rare disease primarily manifesting in adolescence or adulthood, characterized by mild to moderate proteinuria, with some cases progressing slowly to end-stage renal disease.
Case Presentation: We report a 12.

Lassa fever, caused by the Lassa virus (LASV), is a deadly disease characterized by hemorrhages. Annually, it affects approximately 300,000 people in West Africa and causes about 5,000 deaths. It currently has no approved vaccine and is categorized as a top-priority disease.

Currently, there is an increasing use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) studies to investigate the molecular taxonomy, metabolic properties, enzyme capabilities, and bioactive substances of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) species. In this study, the genome of strain Pediococcus pentosaceus BBS1 was sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq. 2500 platform to determine its classification, annotate its main features, and evaluate its safety characteristics.

Taenia crassiceps (Zeder, 1800), a zoonotic cestode with a wide geographical distribution, utilises canids as definitive hosts and small rodents as intermediate hosts. However, accidental infections in non-human primates, particularly in captive lemurs, have been increasingly documented. In this case report, we describe the first documented case of cysticercosis caused by the larval stage of T.

Background: Clonotyping of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) gene rearrangements is critical for diagnosis, prognostication, and measurable residual disease monitoring in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Although short-read next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, such as Illumina MiSeq, are widely used, they face challenges in spanning full VDJ rearrangements. Long-read sequencing via Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) offers a potential alternative using the compact and cost-effective flow cells.
