Article Abstract
Human infectious fungal diseases are increasing, despite improved hygienic conditions. We present a case of gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis (GIB) in a 20-year-old male with a history of progressively worsening abdominal pain. The causative agent was identified as a novel species. Validation of its novelty was established by analysis of the partial ribosomal operon of two isolates from different organs. Phylogeny of ITS and LSU rRNA showed that these isolates belonged to the genus positioned closely to and . Morphological and physiological data supported the identity of the species, which was named , with CBS 146281 as the holotype. The strains showed high minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) to fluconazole (>64 µg/mL), itraconazole and voriconazole (>16 µg/mL), anidulafungin and micafungin (>16 µg/mL), but had a low MIC to amphotericin B (1 µg/mL). The pathogenic role of in gastrointestinal disease is discussed. We highlight the crucial role of molecular identification of these rarely encountered opportunistic fungi.

Disrupted gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmission may contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Reductions in hippocampal GABAergic neurons have been found in schizophrenia, and increased hippocampal perfusion has been described in schizophrenia and in people at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHRp). We have also found decreases in hippocampal GABA receptors containing the α5 subunit (GABARα5) in a well-validated neurodevelopmental rat model of relevance for schizophrenia.

Background: Among patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism undergoing mechanical thrombectomy, the mean change in cardiac index (CI) is modest. We sought to identify variables associated with a hemodynamic super-response or a CI increase of ≥25% postthrombectomy.
Methods: This was a single-center retrospective study including patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism undergoing mechanical thrombectomy with pulmonary artery catheter-derived hemodynamic indices obtained preprocedure and postprocedure.

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) severely impacts knee joint health. Irisin, a myokine secreted during muscle contraction, varies with different exercise. This study investigates the chondroprotective effects of irisin induced by active and passive motion in a rat model of KOA.

Introduction: Catheter-mediated (Dotter) angioplasty has been previously described for extracranial/peripheral arteries. Tenzing (Route 92 Medical, San Mateo, California, USA), a shelf-reducing delivery catheter, has an atraumatic tapered distal tip that progressively enlarges to maximal outer diameter of 1.2 mm (Tenzing 5), 1.

RNA is a remarkably versatile molecule that has been engineered for applications in therapeutics, diagnostics, and in vivo information-processing systems. However, the complex relationship between the sequence, structure, and function of RNA often necessitates extensive experimental screening of candidate sequences. Here we present a generalized, efficient neural network architecture that utilizes the sequence and structure of RNA molecules (SANDSTORM) to inform functional predictions across a diverse range of settings.
