Rabies is a neglected disease endemic in Asia and Africa but is still a significant public and veterinary health threat.Whilst a key delicacy for the local diet, bats are a natural reservoir host for many viral zoonotic agents including lyssaviruses, the causative agent of rabies.Studies on knowledge and practices linked to the disease will help to
Contributions of Immune Cells and Stromal Cells to the Pathogenesis of Systemic Sclerosis: Recent Insights
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a multisystem rheumatic disease characterized by vascular Elevation Assembly dysfunction, autoimmune abnormalities, and progressive organ fibrosis.A series of studies in SSc patients and fibrotic models suggest that immune cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells participate in inflammation and aberrant tissue repair.Fu
Tracheotomy avoided in laryngeal mucous membrane pemphigoid treated with rituximab
An 80-year-old woman with a history of mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) was referred for laryngopharyngeal progression.Flexible nasolaryngoscopy (FN) revealed severe swelling of the supraglottic mucosa, ulcerations of the epiglottis, and significant laryngeal scarring and stenosis that was concerning for Elevation Assembly need for tracheotomy in t
Insights into the formation and diversification of a novel chiropteran wing membrane from embryonic development
Abstract Background Through the evolution of novel wing structures, bats (Order Chiroptera) became the only mammalian group to achieve powered flight.This achievement preceded the massive adaptive radiation of bats into diverse ecological niches.We investigate some of the developmental processes that underlie the origin and subsequent diversificati
Investigation of the uniform distribution of basalt fibre in a foam concrete mixture
This research aimed to study the impact of uniform basalt fibre reinforcement on the mechanical properties of foam concrete, such as compressive strength, bending and frost resistance.A comprehensive methodology was used, which included the preparation and testing of foam concrete mixtures containing basalt fibre, and conducting strength and frost
