Adenovirus co-infections in HIV patients cause wide-spread morbidity in sub-Saharan Africa, but little research has documented the burden and distribution of these pathogens. This study was conducted between D...
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) machines extract from a biological sample a large number of short DNA fragments (reads). These reads are then used for several applications, e.g., sequence reconstruction, DNA ass...
Acute coronary syndrome after hymenoptera stings or exposure to environment toxins is referred to as the Kounis syndrome or allergic myocardial ischaemia with or without infarction. We report a case of hornet ...
The angel’s wing oyster mushroom (Pleurocybella porrigens, Sugihiratake) is a well-known delicacy. However, its potential risk in acute encephalopathy was recently revealed by a food poisoning incident. To disclo...
Management of late relapse of a testicular germ cell tumor is difficult because few cases have been reported and the tumors are intractable to chemotherapy. Here we present a case with a single brain metastasi...
Insertions/deletions (indels) are the second most common type of genomic variant and the most common type of structural variant. Identification of indels in next generation sequencing data is a challenge, and ...
Influenza B viruses are classified into two main lineages: Yamagata-like and Victoria-like, which differ antigenically and phylogenetically. To understand the evolution of influenza B viruses in South East Asi...
