Establishment of a consensus protocol to explore the brain pathobiome in patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 19, Issue 11, Page 5209-5231, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Microbial infections of the brain can lead to dementia, and for many decades microbial infections have been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. However, a causal role for infection in AD remains contentious, and the lack of standardized detection methodologies has led to inconsistent detection/identification of microbes in AD ...

Neurocysticercosis and epilepsy: Imaging and clinical characteristics

Epileptic Disorders, Volume 25, Issue 1, Page 94-103, February 2023., 2023
Abstract The ILAE Neuroimaging Task Force aimed to publish educational case reports highlighting basic aspects related to neuroimaging in epilepsy consistent with the educational mission of the ILAE. Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is highly endemic in resource‐limited countries and increasingly more often seen in non‐endemic regions due to migration.

Neurocysticercosis and HIV/AIDS co‐infection: A scoping review

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 26, Issue 10, Page 1140-1152, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Objectives Neurocysticercosis (NCC) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have a high disease burden and are prevalent in overlapping low‐ and middle‐income areas. Yet, treatment guidance for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH/A) co‐infected with NCC is currently lacking. This study aims to scope the available literature on HIV/AIDS and NCC co‐

The Burden of Neurocysticercosis at a Single New York Hospital

Journal of Pathogens, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Neurocysticercosis (NCC), a disease caused by the larval pork tapeworm Taenia solium, has emerged as an important infection in the United States. In this study, we describe the spectrum of NCC infection in eastern Long Island, where there is a growing population of immigrants from endemic countries.
