    Abstract Objective: Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and Mycobacterium abscessus are a group of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that have been described as human pathogens. Their ability to develop biofilms in tissues and medical devices is one of the most important pathogenicity factors, with important implications in diagnosis and treatment. Macrolides are usually considered one of the bases of this treatment.
    Methods: Here we have studied the biofilm prevention concentration (BPC) of 16 strains (n=16) with clarithromycin to avoid the biofilm development by these NTM.
    Results: In this study, all M. abscessus strains have similar BPC, while MAC strains showed different values. For MAC the concentrations ranged between 1-16 mg/L, while for M. abscessus the concentration was 32 mg/L for all strains except one that was 64 mg/L.
    Conclusions: These results open the possibility of using macrolides for the prevention of biofilm development in patients with a risk of developing NTM disease.

    Abstract High-risk neuroblastoma is a very aggressive pediatric cancer, accounting for ~15% of childhood cancer mortality. Therefore, novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of neuroblastoma are urgently sought. Here, we focused on the potential implications of the Dual-specificity tYrosine-Regulated Kinase (DYRK) family and downstream signaling pathways. We used bioinformatic analysis of public datasets from neuroblastoma cohorts and cell lines to search correlations between patient survival and expression of

    Abstract In this work we present the development of a multi-frequency electrical impedance pneumography (EIP) system based on a portable acquisition device and a mobile platform. This design is intended as an upgrade to our previous device for clinical use in the screening of patients with pulmonary diseases. The acquisition device uses the bioimpedance analog front end MAX30001, a mux/demux stage, Bluetooth 4.0 communication and an ESP32 microcontroller unit. It generates an excitation current of 8 μA

    Abstract Background: RUNX1 is a transcription factor and a master regulator for the specification of the hematopoietic lineage during embryogenesis and postnatal megakaryopoiesis. Mutations and rearrangements on RUNX1 are key drivers of hematological malignancies. In humans, this gene is localized to the 'Down syndrome critical region' of chromosome 21, triplication of which is necessary and sufficient for most phenotypes that characterize Trisomy 21.
    Main body: Individuals with Down syndrome show a higher predisposition to leukemias. Hence, RUNX1 overexpression was initially proposed as a critical player on Down syndrome-associated leukemogenesis. Less is known about the functions of RUNX1 in other tissues and organs, although growing reports show important implications in development or homeostasis of neural tissues, muscle, heart, bone, ovary, or the endothelium, among others. Even less is understood about the consequences on these tissues of RUNX1 gene dosage alterations in the context of Down syndrome. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on RUNX1 activities outside blood/leukemia, while suggesting for the first time their potential relation to specific Trisomy 21 co-occurring conditions.
    Conclusion: Our concise review on the emerging RUNX1 roles in different tissues outside the hematopoietic context provides a number of well-funded hypotheses that will open new research avenues toward a better understanding of RUNX1-mediated transcription in health and disease, contributing to novel potential diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for Down syndrome-associated conditions.

    Abstract Despite different criteria to diagnose a prosthetic joint infection (PJI), aetiological diagnosis of the causing microorganism remains essential to guide treatment.Molecular-biology-based PJI diagnosis is progressing (faster, higher specificity) in different techniques, from the experimental laboratory into clinical use.Multiplex polymerase chain reaction techniques (custom-made or commercial) provide satisfactory results in clinical series of cases, with specificity close to 100% and sensitivity over 70-80%.Next-generation metagenomics may increase sensitivity while maintaining high specificity.Molecular biology techniques may represent, in the next five years, a significant transformation of the currently available microbiological diagnosis in PJI.
