Summary: The lack of an appropriate platform for understanding the molecular basis of hepatitis viruses and reliable models for identifying new therapeutic agents are major obstacles in launching efficient clinical protocols for viral hepatitis. Traditional models have proven ineffective in representing viral infections in a laboratory setting, highlighting the need for new research models. Cell-based and animal models each have their strengths and weaknesses, with important findings retrieved from both types of models.

Summary: Eukaryotic cells produce extracellular vesicles (EVs) that mediate intercellular communication and are utilized by viruses like HIV-1 and HTLV-1 for spreading and infection. Exosomes from virus-infected cells have the potential to be used for vaccine development and early diagnosis of viral infections. Ongoing research on exosomes shed from virus-infected cells may provide insights into the mechanisms of pathogenesis associated with retroviruses.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive review of Trichinella sp. infection in humans and animals in Iran and Turkey, as well as measures for prevention and control. The research found two cases of human trichinellosis caused by the consumption of wild boar meat in northern Iran. It was also observed that golden jackals in Iran and both domesticated and wild pigs and gray wolves in Turkey are frequently infected. However, data on the distribution of Trichinella taxa in Turkey are still fragmentary.

Summary: Intravenous fluids are crucial in shock management, but evidence-based guidelines are lacking in clinical settings. Care must be taken to avoid both under and overhydration, and assessing a patient's volume status and fluid responsiveness, as well as monitoring their response to fluid administration, is essential.

Summary: Ticks in Turkey pose a significant challenge to animal production due to the endemic parasitic diseases they carry, including theileriosis, babesiosis, hepatozoonosis, cytauxzoonosis, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis. These diseases have a major impact on the economy and animal health, especially for ruminants, and are controlled primarily through treatment and tick control measures.

Summary: Optoacoustic imaging has versatile applications in biomedical research, visualizing disease pathophysiology and monitoring treatment effects in animal models, as well as in clinical settings. Multimodal imaging provides insights into the complex disease mechanisms with different molecular, structural, and functional readouts in vivo. Rapid development in molecular imaging contrast agents employing a multimodal imaging strategy for pathological targets involved in brain diseases is ongoing.

Summary: Olfactory navigation plays a crucial role in the survival of animals and is observed across species. This study presents a method to control and measure airborne odor concentration in an arena compatible with an agar substrate, allowing continuous monitoring of odor profile while imaging animal behavior. The researchers successfully measured the odor concentration experienced by C. elegans and D. melanogaster larvae populations as they navigate spatial odor landscapes.

Summary: Medical thermography is an imaging test used to monitor skin surface temperature. It has made significant advances since the 2000s with modernization of equipment. Thermography has been widely studied as a screening tool for skin and breast cancer in humans, and has shown promise in veterinary medicine for various tumor types in cats and dogs. This review discusses the fundamentals, monitoring conditions, and future perspectives of using thermography as a diagnostic tool for cancer in veterinary medicine.

Summary: This study aims to describe the incidence, clinical characteristics, and risk factors of late-onset opportunistic infections (LOI) in people living with HIV (PWLHA) in the Caribbean, Central, and South America. The study found that LOI occurred in nearly one in 10 patients, with tuberculosis, esophageal candidiasis, and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia being the most common opportunistic infections. The use of protease inhibitor-based regimen, AIDS-defining events during the first 6 months of antiretroviral treatment, starting antiretroviral treatment in earlier years, and treatment switch were associated with a higher risk of LOI.

Summary: The close contact between humans and animals poses a risk for the transmission of infectious diseases, resulting in substantial public health concerns and economic losses worldwide. Current research is focused on developing more sensitive and accurate diagnostic methods for parasitic infections, but there are challenges that need to be overcome in this field.

Summary: Axon-dendrite formation is a crucial process in neuronal development, involving external and internal signals, gene expression, protein stability, cytoskeleton remodeling, and vesicle trafficking. Various model systems, including hippocampal neuron cultures, C. elegans, D. melanogaster, and in situ imaging in rodents, have been used to study neuronal polarization. The differentiation of neurons from hiPSCs provides a unique opportunity to test hypotheses specific to humans.

Summary: Maedi-visna (MV) is a lentiviral disease of sheep that leads to severe production losses. Current diagnostic methods are not entirely accurate due to individual differences and viral variability. However, a specific allele on the TMEM154 E35K SNP has shown evidence of resistance to the virus, suggesting that selective breeding could be a viable strategy for disease control in sheep.

Summary: The stress response has a significant impact on the central nervous system and other systems in the body, contributing to chronic mental and behavioral pathologies as well as increasing the risk for other chronic inflammatory and metabolic diseases. Psychiatric treatments play a role in alleviating fear, stress, and anxiety and improving the quality of life and lifespan for dogs and cats. The availability of safe psychoactive medications allows for effective treatment options in veterinary patients. Clinicians should have a good understanding of the role neurotransmitters and hormones play in emotional processing, cognition, and behavior, as well as the mechanism of action of drugs to ensure appropriate medication selection for each individual patient.
