RNA toehold switch-based reporter assay to assess bacterial uptake of antisense oligomers by Paramita Sarkar, Linda Popella, Sandra Pérez-Jiménez, Jörg Vogel

“…We also show that the reporter can be used to study routes of PNA uptake, as demonstrated by reduced reporter activity in the absence of the inner membrane protein SbmA. In summary, we present a tool for the discovery of species-specific and efficient ASO carriers that will also be useful for a broader investigation of cellular uptake mechanisms of antibacterial ASOs.IMPORTANCEThe rise of antimicrobial resistance presents a major global health challenge. …”

Cognitive Disorders In Acquired Sensorineural Hearing Loss, At The Ent Department Of The “Village Bondeko” Center, In Kinshasa by Masamba GR, Sokolo Gedikondele J, Longo-Mbenza B, Nganga Nkanga MS, Matanda Nzanza R, Matonda-ma-Nzuzi T, Ikanga J, Nge Okwe A, Lema Mabwaka G, Mawalala Malengele H, Nangi Mampuya C, Lumbu Malundama D

“…The analysis of variance (ANOVA) comparing the means demonstrated a very significant correlation (p ˂ 0.0001) between the decline in cognitive functions and the severity of hearing impairment. The low level of education, marital status, and cardiovascular risk factors were associated with cognitive disorders; however, no association was demonstrated between advancing age, gender, socioeconomic status, and cognitive disorders in the study population.Conclusion: The present study has demonstrated the existence of an association between sensorineural hearing loss and cognitive disorders, involving a multidisciplinary and early management of sensorineural hearing loss.Keywords: sensorineural hearing loss, cognition, Kinshasa, Village Bondeko…”

Auditory evoked neuromagnetic response latency is associated with language ability in preschoolers with an elevated likelihood of intellectual or developmental disability by Yuhan Chen, Yuhan Chen, Lauren Young, Mina Kim, Shannon Watson, Victoria Kaufman, Bethany Beal, Ilona Tuomi, Bekah Wang, Donna M. McDonald-McGinn, Donna M. McDonald-McGinn, J. Christopher Edgar, J. Christopher Edgar, Emily S. Kuschner, Emily S. Kuschner, Timothy P. L. Roberts, Timothy P. L. Roberts

“…As a clinical diagnosis of ID is generally not made until school age, identification of neural measures that precede a behaviorally assessed ID diagnosis would help identify young children likely to benefit from early treatment. The present study evaluated if the speed of auditory cortex neural activity (M50 latency) would predict language ability in 3-year-old children who have an existing diagnosis that is a risk factor associated with a range of later functional outcomes, including ID or developmental delay (DD), irrespective of autism spectrum disorder diagnosis.MethodsThirty 3-year-old children with elevated likelihood for ID or DD (ID/DD-EL) were enrolled. …”
