The role of mycobacteremia screening in enhancing non-tuberculous mycobacteria detection in hospitalized persons with HIV by Mengjiao Miao, Hongyan Zhu, Ziyao Liu, Jinjin Yang, Yiting Zhang, Chenyu Ma, Jiamin Qin, Yaling Chen, Hongxia Wei, Wei Chen, Yongfeng Yang, Zhiliang Hu, Zhiliang Hu, Zhiliang Hu

“…Among hospitalized severely immunocompromised persons with HIV (PWH), non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) may be under-diagnosed due to non-specific symptoms undifferentiable with other opportunistic infections. To evaluate the prevalence of NTM mycobacteremia and how screening for mycobacteremia assistant with identification of NTM infections, this study retrospectively analyzed 1,136 hospitalized PWH with CD4 counts <200 cells/μL, who underwent mycobacteremia screening at a tertiary hospital in Nanjing, China, between July 2018 and December 2023. …”

Perturbation of EPHA2 and EFNA1 trans binding amplifies inflammatory response in airway epithelial cells by Ryosuke Fukuda, Shiori Beppu, Daichi Hinata, Yuka Kamada, Tsukasa Okiyoneda

“…Summary: The interactions between EPH receptors and ephrin (EFN) ligands play a crucial role in maintaining epithelial integrity and aiding in defense against infections. However, it remains unclear how the EPH-EFN trans-binding changes during infections and how this alteration affects inflammatory response. …”

Stability and Threshold of a Stochastic SIRS Epidemic Model with Vertical Transmission and Transfer from Infectious to Susceptible Individuals by Driss Kiouach, Yassine Sabbar

“…The aim of this paper is to generalize the nonlinear incidence rate of a stochastic SIRS (susceptible-infected-recovered-susceptible) epidemic model. Our basic model was enriched with the hypotheses of vertical transmission and transfer from infected to susceptible individuals, to approach the reality. …”
