We aimed to use multimodal wearable sensors, host-response biomarkers, and machine learning to predict systemic inflammation following controlled exposure to a live attenuated influenza vaccine, without relying on symptoms.

Termed Multiple Anthelmintic Drug Resistance (MADR), cases have subsequently been reported in pet dogs across the USA. Recent studies using molecular tests that detect mutations known to cause resistance to benzimidazole anthelmintics have revealed an alarming frequency of...

Despite the available literature, no studies comprehensively summarize the findings for antimicrobial combinations against Staphylococcus aureus. We performed a systematic review to identify synergistic combinations that may be beneficial for clinical use against S. aureus. The PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases were queried from inception to February 2024 for...

At least half of these wounds become infected, which dramatically increases the risk of hospitalization, amputation, and death. Wound environment pH is a possible marker of infection, however, clinical application has yet to be achieved. Herein, we introduce a hydrogel sheet dressing made out of a transparent calcium alginate body, which is embedded by a pH-sensitive color changing dye named α-naphtholphthalein that equilibrates to...
