Diagnosis and treatment of occipital brain lesions in children

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 67, Issue 11, Page 1409-1420, November 2025.
Occipital brain lesions in children represent a diagnostic challenge due to the large spectrum of etiologies and overlapping clinical features. This review analyses common and less common causes of occipital brain lesions in children, including malformative, vascular, genetic/metabolic, infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions.

The Effect of Climate Change on Emergence and Evolution of Zoonotic Diseases in Asia

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 587-611, November 2025.
ABSTRACT As the climate of Asia changes under the influence of global warming, the incidence and spatial distribution of known zoonoses will evolve, and new zoonoses are expected to emerge as a result of greater exposure to organisms which currently occur only in wildlife.

A Rare Case Of Disseminated Toxic Neurocysticercosis Causing Threat-ening Of Life

Journal of Clinical and Biomedical Sciences, 2018
Neurocysticercosis is the most common parasitic infection of the central nervous system. However, disseminated cysticercosis is rare. Cysticercosis is caused by the larvae of Taenia solium, a tapeworm.

Neurocysticercosis

Brain Pathology, 1997
Cysticercosis is an infection caused by Taenia solium larvae (cysticerci). When the cysticercus is lodged in the central nervous system (CNS), the disease is known as neurocysticercosis (NCC). NCC is the most frequent and most widely disseminated human neuroparasitosis.

Continuous Intravenous Nimodipine Infusion With Ethanol as Carrier in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Does Not Result in Measurable Cerebral Ethanol Levels

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 118, Issue 4, Page 928-934, October 2025.
An unimpaired neurological evaluation is essential for detecting delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients. Nimodipine is currently the only drug approved for DCI prevention. Intravenous nimodipine infusion contains 23.7 vol% ethanol as an excipient, resulting in up to 45 g of ethanol being infused daily ...

Challenges and opportunities in detecting Taenia solium tapeworm carriers in Los Angeles County California, 2009–2014

Journal of Epidemiology and Global Health, 2019
Carriers of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, are the sole source of neurocysticercosis, a parasitic tissue infection that can be chronic and severe. Identifying T. solium tapeworm carriers is challenging.
