TL;DR: The data appears consistent with the methaemoglobin/haem hypothesis in malaria and sepsis pathogenesis, however, although MetHb was significantly different between healthy controls and children with malaria in Africa, the difference was rather small, also when compared to previous studies.

TL;DR: The overall proportion of piliated isolates declined in the period following PCV7 but quickly recovered to pre-PCV7 levels (50%) and the proportion of isolates carrying both pilus islands remained stable and low.

TL;DR: Group B protective surface protein and 5'-nucleotidase family protein were 2 major immunoreactive proteins that were detected only in the whey of infected cows, suggesting that these proteins may be important in the pathogenesis of S. agalactiae-induced mastitis.

TL;DR: This work quantified immunoglobulin M, IgG and IgA antibodies recognizing the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) or the Spike (S) protein over a period of five months following COVID-19 disease onset or in previously Sars-Cov-2 PCR-positive volunteers, and highlighted a continued level of circulating neutralising antibodies in most people with confirmed SARS, at least up to five months after infection.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized 2172 cases of adult IPD in 2015-2018 in Portugal after the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in the national immunization plan of 2015.
