Leptomeningitis in a person with radiologically isolated syndrome and latent tuberculosis. A case report with implications for clinical research [PDF]
A 39-year-old man, followed with serial MRI of CNS for a radiologically isolate syndrome (RIS, a recently described condition considered a subclinical form of MS), was hospitalized for the occurrence of a leptomeningitis. Routine blood tests and contrast

A novel copper silicate nanozyme (CSHSs‐Ar) with high peroxidase‐like catalytic activity and great catalytic specificity is well developed using a facile in situ valence‐engineered approach. The well‐developed CSHSs‐Ar nanozyme‐involved system can be utilized and employed as an efficient colorimetric sensor for the detection of volatile sulfur ...

Characterizing the Healthcare Utilization and Costs of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia
ABSTRACT Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is the second‐most common inherited bleeding disorder worldwide, afflicting one in 4000–5000 people, and is the most morbid inherited bleeding disorder of women. HHT causes recurrent severe epistaxis, chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, heavy menstrual bleeding, and arteriovenous malformations in the ...

Anti‐ADAMTS13 Antibodies Trajectory is Associated With ADAMTS13 Recovery in Immune‐Mediated TTP
Anti‐ADAMTS13 IgG antibodies titer trajectory from baseline to day 7–14 post‐TPE as a reliable approach to identify iTTP patients at risk of late response to the triplet therapy regimen. ABSTRACT Current triplet regimens associating therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), immunosuppression with corticosteroids and rituximab, and caplacizumab have ...

Transmission of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in the UK: a cross-sectional molecular and epidemiological study of clustering and contact tracing [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Between 2000 and 2012 the number of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis cases in the UK increased from 28 per year to 81 per year. We investigated the proportion of MDR tuberculosis cases arising from transmission in the UK and associated ...

Diosgenin ameliorates silica‐induced tuberculosis in rats
Silicosis increases susceptibility to tuberculosis due to impaired macrophage function and oxidative stress. This study demonstrates that diosgenin, a steroidal saponin, significantly inhibits Mycobacterium smegmatis (IC₅₀ = 0.006 μg/mL), reduces lung fibrosis, and restores antioxidant enzyme levels (↑SOD, ↑CAT, ↓MDA) in silica‐exposed rats ...

Risk of acquired drug resistance during short-course directly observed treatment of tuberculosis in an area with high levels of drug resistance. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Data on the performance of standardized short-course directly observed treatment (DOTS) of tuberculosis (TB) in areas with high levels of drug resistance and on the potential impact of DOTS on amplification of resistance are limited ...

HCN2‐Associated Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Data from Patients and Xenopus Cell Models
Objective We aimed to characterize the phenotypic spectrum and functional consequences associated with variants in HCN2, encoding for the hyperpolarization‐activated cyclic nucleotide (HCN) gated channel 2. Methods GeneMatcher facilitated the recruitment of 21 individuals with HCN2 variants from 15 unrelated families, carrying HCN2 variants.
