Neurology and Clinical Neuroscience, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Myasthenia gravis (MG) associated with disseminated thymoma is often refractory to conventional treatments due to continuous autoantibody production. The optimal treatment strategy, particularly the combination of complement component 5 (C5) inhibitor, neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) antagonist, and surgical resection in thymoma‐associated ...

Engineered Bacterial Membranes as Next‐Generation Platforms for Cancer Immunotherapy
Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.Engineered bacterial membrane platforms, including outer membrane vesicles, bacterial ghosts, genetically engineered membranes, and hybrid bacterial–tumor membranes, integrate tumor antigen presentation with intrinsic immune stimulation. These platforms promote dendritic‐cell activation, T‐cell priming, pyroptosis, and synergistic responses with ...

Infection control in the brain and the eye
Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page e478-e490, August 2026.Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Evaluation of the Completeness of Reporting of Invasive Meningococcal Disease [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Public Health, 1999 VOLUME 90, NO. 4 In Quebec, the annual number of reported cases of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) increased from 37 in 1984 to 124 in 1990. The increase and the emergence of a virulent strain of serogroup C prompted the Ministere de la Sante et des Services sociaux (Provincial Ministry of Health) to immunize all children aged 6 months to 19 years
