- Polymicrobial infections with Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) and Candida albicans (C. albicans) are increasingly frequent in urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, experimental data describing their interactions in clinical isolates under co-culture conditions remain limited. In this study, three clinical isolates of both A. baumannii and C. albicans were co-isolated from urine samples with UTIs, then mono-cultured and co-cultured at 24, 48, and 72 h for biofilm quantification by crystal violet assay. The expression levels of bacterial (ompA, bap, abaI) and fungal (ALS3, HWP1, ERG11) virulence genes were evaluated by RT-qPCR at 24 and 48 h. Co-culture conditions resulted in increased biofilm biomass compared to monoculture for the tested isolates. In A. baumannii, the virulence genes of bap, abaI, and ompA showed statistically significant increase in expression in co-culture compared to mono-culture after 24 h. In C. albicans, HWP1 is the only virulence gene that shows a statistically significant increase in expression in co-culture compared to monoculture after 48 h. Gene expression patterns varied in patient isolates, suggesting strain heterogeneity. This is an exploratory study that provides evidence of changes in biofilm formation and virulence gene expression in co-culture conditions among clinical isolates of A. baumannii and C. albicans. These findings suggest potential for microbial interactions under polymicrobial conditions, which might affect the diagnosis and treatment of patients with UTIs. Future studies with a larger number of isolates and functional assays are required to clarify the mechanistic regulation and biological relevance of these observations in UTIs. - Source: PubMed

Hossam BassantGabre Refaat MAmr DinaSaleh Hazem H - Mitral valve repair (MVr) can alter left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) geometry and precipitate dynamic LVOT obstruction (LVOTO) in patients with underlying hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Cardiac myosin inhibitors are now a Class I recommendation for symptomatic obstructive HCM, yet their role in post-surgical LVOTO remains undefined. - Source: PubMed

Gabr El-MoatasemVignarajah AravinthanShah Gautam - Climate change poses a significant threat to global biodiversity, altering species ranges and ecological dynamics. This study investigates the impact of climate change on Tabanus taeniola (Diptera: Tabanidae), a widely distributed horsefly with ecological importance in Africa and South America. Our objective was to model its current habitat suitability and predict future distribution shifts under various climatic scenarios. Using occurrence data from GBIF and and bioclimatic variables from WorldClim (BIO1-BIO19), we screened predictors for multicollinearity and calibrated MaxEnt models using a final subset of five variables. The model showed high accuracy, with an AUC of 0.918. Our findings identify the Minimum Temperature of the Coldest Month (BIO6) and Mean Temperature of Coldest Quarter (BIO11) as the key climatic drivers, with the species thriving in temperatures from 16 °C to 29 °C. Future projections, using the BCC-CSM2-MR and MRI-ESM2-0 models under SSP370 and SSP585 scenarios for 2050-2070, predict significant distributional shifts. We forecast a decline in optimal habitats in lowland tropical regions, with an expansion into temperate zones and higher altitudes in East Africa, South America, and parts of southern Europe. These projections indicate substantial redistribution toward higher elevations and temperate regions under future warming scenarios. - Source: PubMed

Afifi Abdalrahman EGabre Refaat MAl-Khalaf Areej ASalem Abeer MAl Salameen FadilaNasser Mohamed G - Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains challenging to treat due to clinical heterogeneity and a lack of prognostic biomarkers. To address this, we developed a prognostic signature based on platelet-related genes (PRGs). By analyzing transcriptomic data from TCGA-LAML, GSE146173, and Beat AML 2.0 cohorts, we identified and validated an 11-gene signature (PSME2, PPIF, SYTL4, S100A4, CCND3, SMIM15, PARVB, STXBP5, KCNMB1, GABRE, SLC50A1) using LASSO-Cox regression. This model effectively stratified patients into high- and low-risk groups with distinct survival outcomes (p < 0.001) and demonstrated high predictive accuracy (1-/3-/5-year AUC: 0.832/0.782/0.880). High-risk patients exhibited immunosuppressive features, including upregulated immune checkpoints (CD274, CTLA4, HAVCR2, LAG3, PDCD1LG2, PDCD1), prominent monocyte infiltration, and reduced dendritic`11 cell activity. Drug sensitivity analysis suggested gefitinib, zebularine, and simvastatin as potential therapies for high-risk AML (p < 0.05). We further validated the signature's prognostic value using qPCR and clinical grouping. Notably, in vitro studies indicated that KCNMB1 facilitates AML progression. In conclusion, our robust PRG-based model elucidates the link between platelet biology, immune dysregulation, and therapeutic vulnerability in AML, offering clinical utility for risk stratification and treatment decisions. - Source: PubMed
Wu YiChen WanjiaGong SiqiWang JiajiaZhai Zhimin - BACKGROUND: Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is more widespread in postmenopausal women, especially among diabetic women. Nevertheless, a comprehensive definition of independent predictors of ASB in the general postmenopausal population and in the high-risk diabetic subgroup remains critical for management strategies. METHODS: The study was a cross-sectional examination of the prevalence of ASB and risk factors among 400 postmenopausal women (251 with diabetes, 149 without diabetes). Quantitative culture on midstream urine samples was done according to the standard microbiological practices. Structured questionnaires and medical records were used to get clinical and demographic data. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to determine independent factors associated with ASB. RESULTS: The general prevalence of ASB was 22.0% (n = 88), with a significantly higher rate in diabetic women compared to the control group (27.9% vs. 12.1%; p < 0.001). In the overall population, diabetes status (OR = 8.59; 95% CI: 1.99–37.0), HbA1c (OR = 2.52), and prior UTI history (OR = 3.98) were strong independent predictors. Within the diabetic subgroup, HbA1c (OR = 2.61; p < 0.001), history of UTIs (OR = 3.68), and age (OR = 1.13) remained the most significant predictors. Notably, the duration of diabetes was not a significant factor in this cohort. CONCLUSION: ASB is highly prevalent in diabetic postmenopausal women and strongly linked to poor glycaemic control, increased age, prior UTI, and exposure to antibiotics. These results highlight the importance of more focused prevention strategies and glycaemic control instead of general screening of ASB among this high-risk group.
