Negative Effects of Latent Toxoplasmosis on Mental Health

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2020
Infection by the parasite Toxoplasma, which affects about 33% of world population, is associated with an increased risk of several mental health disorders, the most strongly with schizophrenia.

A real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction for the specific detection of Hammondia hammondi and its differentiation from Toxoplasma gondii

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2021
Introduction Hammondia hammondi and Toxoplasma gondii are closely related protozoan parasites, but only T. gondii is zoonotic. Both species use felids as definitive hosts and cannot be differentiated by oocyst morphology. In T.

The Spectrum of Abnormal Tongue Movements: Review of Phenomenology, Etiology, and Differential Diagnosis

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Classifying abnormal tongue movements is challenging due to their varied presentations and limited visibility compared to other body parts. Accurate identification of the phenomenology guides physical examination and can point to specific diagnoses.

Toxoplasmosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Toxoplasma gondii, an Apicomplexan, is a pathogic protozoan that can infect the central nervous system. Infection during pregnancy can result in a congenial infection with severe neurological sequelae. In immunocompromised individuals reactivation of latent neurological foci can result in encephalitis.

Prenatal Exome Sequencing Identifies Dual Maternal‐Fetal Diagnosis of HbF Mission Bay, a Novel HBG2 Variant Associated With Methemoglobinemia, Hypoxia and Hemolytic Anemia

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prenatal exome sequencing (ES) can establish rare genetic diagnoses in a fetus but may also lead to occult genetic diagnosis in a biological parent. We present a case of dual fetal and maternal diagnosis by prenatal ES, in a fetus with unexplained anemia and in a pregnant patient with sickle cell disease (SCD) and recurrent unexplained hypoxia.

Moderate Diagnostic Yield of Exome Sequencing in Fetal Growth Restriction: Retrospective Insights

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine whether invasive genetic testing should be systematically proposed in cases of FGR. Methods Descriptive retrospective study of 159 FGR cases (defined by an estimated fetal growth < 3rd percentile, regardless of Doppler findings) managed at the Toulouse Fetal Medicine Center (TFMC) during 2022–2023.
