Article Abstract
Myiasis is the infestation of human tissues by dipterous fly larvae of the class Insecta. Clogmia albipunctatus, family Psychodidae, is one of the most medically important insects that cause human myiasis. The aim of the present study is the morphological identification and the molecular characterization of moth flies causing many cases of urinary myiasis in Egypt, based on sequencing of the mitochondrial DNA of the larvae. Seven urinary samples of patients complaining of urinary symptoms and giving a history of low socioeconomic level were examined. Recovered larvae were identified using light microscopy and SEM. For molecular identification, the mitochondrial genes Cytochrome B (cytB), NADH1, NADH1, and 16S were sequenced and phylogenetically analyzed. The morphological and molecular characterization could accurately diagnose our patients to have C. albipunctatus infestation. Such results provided the initial set of data on the molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of moth flies based on DNA barcoding in Egypt.

Background: Myxoid spindle cell neoplasm and meningioma are two different pathologies that can have similar radiographic findings. Despite their benign radiographic appearance, myxoid spindle cell neoplasms are heterogeneous, prone to recurrence, and associated with high mortality.
Observations: The authors present the case of a woman in her late 60s who experienced a witnessed seizure characterized by right arm tonic-clonic movements and subsequent left-sided manifestations.

Aberrant activation of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) plays a critical role in tumorigenesis across multiple cancer types, driving the development of various FGFR inhibitors. Despite clinical advances, therapeutic efficacy remains limited by the emergence of drug resistance, primarily mediated by gatekeeper mutations in FGFRs. To overcome this challenge, we designed and synthesized a novel series of 7-(1-methyl-1-indole-3-yl)-5-pyrrolo[2,3-]pyrazine derivatives as covalent pan-FGFR inhibitors targeting both wild-type and gatekeeper mutants.

A novel and efficient hydrogen peroxide/ascorbic acid-assisted extraction method for the preparation of Grifola frondosa polysaccharide (GFP) was developed, and two GFP fractions (GFP-H and GFP-L) with different molecular weights (Mws) were obtained by separation with ultrafiltration. Both high Mw component (GFP-H, Mw 396.4 kDa) and low Mw component (GFP-L, Mw 12.

Introduction: Co-morbid insomnia and sleep apnea (COMISA) has been linked to poorer health outcomes and increased all-cause mortality compared with either insomnia or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) alone.
Materials And Methods: We investigated the relationship between COMISA and uncontrolled hypertension in the Swedish CardioPulmonary BioImage Study (SCAPIS). A cross-sectional analysis including participants from the SCAPIS Gothenburg cohort (n=3832, 46% males, age 57.
