Autoimmune diseases related to anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis, a descriptive study in a third level center [PDF]
Background: Epiphenomena in neurological disorders can lead to subsequent autoimmune diseases such as autoimmune encephalitis (AE), but research on this condition is limited. There is a lack of knowledge about the development of autoimmune diseases in AE

Abstract Aim The aims of this pilot study were to investigate the levels of biomarkers of microglial/macrophage activation—YKL‐40, sCD163, and sCD14—in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and determine the possible associations between these biomarkers and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores.

Autoimmune encephalitis is emerging as an important and relatively common cause of encephalitis in the developed world. Crucially, early recognition and prompt initiation of a range of immunotherapies is likely to improve the outcomes of patients with autoimmune encephalitis, particularly for those with identifiable antibodies against neuronal cell ...

Regulatory T cell‐derived interleukin‐15 promotes the diversity of immunological memory
We investigated the identity of IL‐15 producing cells using several mouse strains with cell type‐specific loss of IL‐15 expression. After the resolution of acute infection, IL‐15 secreted by regulatory cells, but not skeletal muscles or myeloid cells, was required for the maintenance of a subset of memory cells referred to as terminal effector memory T

Mathematical Modeling of Japanese Encephalitis Under Aquatic Environmental Effects [PDF]
We propose a mathematical model for the spread of Japanese encephalitis, with emphasis on environmental effects on the aquatic phase of mosquitoes. The model is shown to be biologically well-posed and to have a biologically and ecologically meaningful disease free equilibrium point.

Seronegative autoimmune encephalitis [PDF]
A 68-year-old woman with a history of rheumatoid arthritis presented to the emergency department with 3 months of rapidly progressing cognitive decline. Examination revealed new short-term memory loss, poor attention, difficulty conceptualizing tasks and inability to complete multistep actions.

Background Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is a type of encephalopathy mediated by an antigenic immune response in the central nervous system. Most research related to autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is focused on early diagnosis, treatment and prognosis ...
