Anti‐NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis associated with ovarian teratoma: A case series and literature review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 169, Issue 1, Page 23-30, April 2025.
Abstract Autoimmune encephalitis is a group of disorders characterized by symptoms of dysfunction of the limbic and extra‐limbic systems that occur in association with antibodies against intracellular antigens, synapses, or proteins located on the surface of nerve cells. Anti‐NMDA (N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate) receptor encephalitis was first described in 2007

Complement-Mediated Opsonic Activity in Normal and Infected Human Cerebrospinal Fluid: Early Response During Bacterial Meningitis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A local defense mechanism in bacterial meningitis was evaluated in humans by measuring complement-mediated opsonic activity (CMOA) in normal and infected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) with a complement-dependent phagocytic bactericidal assay. CMOA was absent

Association between genotypic diversity and biofilm production in group B Streptococcus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of sepsis and meningitis and an important factor in premature and stillbirths. Biofilm production has been suggested to be important for GBS pathogenesis alongside many other elements ...

Sterile Nasal Septal Abscess in Ulcerative Colitis With Crypt Abscess‐Like Neutrophilic Infiltration

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We report a rare case of sterile nasal septal abscess in a patient with ulcerative colitis. Histopathological analysis revealed crypt abscess‐like neutrophilic infiltration in the nasal mucosal glands, resembling a typical feature of ulcerative colitis.

RNA sequencing reveals differential long noncoding RNA expression profiles in bacterial and viral meningitis in children

open access: yesBMC Medical Genomics
Background We aimed to investigate the involvement of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in bacterial and viral meningitis in children. Methods The peripheral blood of five bacterial meningitis patients, five viral meningitis samples, and five healthy ...

Orbital Complications of Acute Rhinosinusitis in Adulthood: Predictors of Outcome and Management

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
In a multicenter cohort of 213 adults with orbital complications of acute rhinosinusitis, 68% required surgery and the modified Chandler classification was the strongest predictor of treatment modality. While abscess‐related and type II complications frequently necessitated surgical management, final ophthalmologic outcomes were uniformly favorable ...

Neutrophil extracellular traps in the central nervous system hinder bacterial clearance during pneumococcal meningitis

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Neutrophils are crucial mediators of host defense that are recruited to the central nervous system (CNS) in large numbers during acute bacterial meningitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae.
