A case report: Diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 112-116, Spring 2025.
We reported a case of idiopathic hypertrophic dura meningitis diagnosed in our hospital. The patient repeatedly suffered from headaches, followed by blurred vision in the right eye. During this period, multiple sclerosis was considered for diagnosis, and it improved after hormone treatment.

Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in Pneumococcal Meningitis: Activation via an Oxidative Pathway [PDF]

, 2017
In experimental bacterial meningitis, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to brain damage. MMP-9 increases in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) during bacterial meningitis and is associated with the brain damage that is ...

Human platelet activation by Escherichia coli: roles for FcγRIIA and integrin αIIbβ3 [PDF]

, 2016
Gram-negative Escherichia coli cause diseases such as sepsis and hemolytic uremic syndrome in which thrombotic disorders can be found. Direct platelet–bacterium interactions might contribute to some of these conditions; however, mechanisms of human ...

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

, 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

Lack of continuity between Cronobacter biotypes and species as determined using multilocus sequence typing [PDF]

, 2013
The accuracy of the Cronobacter biotyping scheme was compared with the 7-loci multilocus sequence typing scheme. Biotyping did not reliably assign species level identification, as only half (17/31) of the biotype variants were unique to any of the seven ...

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

International 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
