INTRODUCTION: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAr) antibody encephalitis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by synaptic NMDAr current disruption and receptor hypofunction, often affecting women during pregnancy. Clinical manifestations associated with anti-NMDAr encephalitis can occur both in the mother and fetus. METHODS: We generated a systematic search of the literature to identify epidemiological, clinical, and serological data related to pregnant women with anti-NMDAr encephalitis and their children, analyzing the fetal outcomes...

Currently, according to the most recent Simuliidae World Inventory, there are 97 valid species of blackflies recorded in Brazil, some of which act as vectors for zoonoses such as human onchocerciasis and mansonellosis in the northern and central-western regions of the country. Meanwhile, other species can cause serious socioeconomic problems due to the nuisance of female bites. Therefore, accurate knowledge of their distribution is crucial for the development and implementation of successful preventive strategies...

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a non-laser, high-intensity light source that has been shown to play a valuable role in dermatology and has been adopted in ophthalmology for treating meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). In this review, we discuss the mechanism of action of IPL, including its benefits in ophthalmology. IPL therapy has been shown to improve tear film stability, meibomian gland (MG) function, and subjective symptoms of ocular dryness in MGD patients. Moreover, emerging evidence suggests that IPL therapy is beneficial for other ocular surface diseases, such as blepharitis and chalazia...

Affordable and abundant sources of green hydrogen can give a large impetus to the Energy Transition. While conventional water electrolysis has positioned itself as a prospective candidate for this purpose, it lacks cost competitiveness. Hybrid water electrolysis (HWE) has been praised for its ability to address the issues of conventional water electrolysis due to its decreased energy requirements and its ability to generate value-added products, among other advantages. In this perspective, we discuss the challenges related to the applicability of HWE, using the glycerol oxidation reaction as an example, and we identify pitfalls often found in the literature...

BACKGROUND: Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) represent a frequent cause of pediatric kidney failure. CNVs, as a major class of genomic variations, can also affect miRNA regions. Common CNV corresponding miRNAs (cCNV-miRNAs) are functional variants regulating crucial processes which could affect urinary system development. Thus, we hypothesize that cCNV-miRNAs are associated with CAKUT occurrence and its expressivity. METHODS: The extraction and filtering of common CNVs, identified in control samples deposited in publicly available databases gnomAD v2...

PURPOSE: Proxy assessment can be elicited via the proxy-patient perspective (i.e., asking proxies to assess the patient's quality of life (QoL) as they think the patient would respond) or proxy-proxy perspective (i.e., asking proxies to provide their own perspective on the patient's QoL). This review aimed to identify the role of the proxy perspective in explaining the differences between self-rated and proxy-rated QoL in people living with dementia. METHODS: A systematic literate review was conducted by sourcing articles from a previously published review, supplemented by an update of the review in four bibliographic databases...

Persistent air leaks in patients with pneumothorax can lead to significant morbidity. If a patient with persistent air leak is medically unfit for thoracic surgery, medical pleurodesis via chest tube or thoracoscopy is either an option. Thoracoscopy offers the advantage of visualizing the site of the air leak and enabling direct instillation of the pleurodesis agent or glue at that location. Autologous blood patch instillation via chest tube has been reported to be a cheap and very effective technique for the management of persistent air leaks...

Few systematic comparisons of methods for constructing survival trees and forests exist in the literature. Importantly, when the goal is to predict a survival time or estimate a survival function, the optimal choice of method is unclear. We use an extensive simulation study to systematically investigate various factors that influence survival forest performance - forest construction method, censoring, sample size, distribution of the response, structure of the linear predictor, and presence of correlated or noisy covariates...

An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm of borderline malignant potential. Nearly half of all IMTs have rearrangement of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) locus on chromosome 2p23 which can be treated with targeted therapy. Herein, we describe an unusual presentation of IMT involving an anatomical region rarely implicated in this disease process. A 15-year-old male patient came to the ER with dysphagia and coffee ground emesis. On esophagogastroscopy, a nodular luminal obstructing 30 × 50 mm mass in the lower esophagus was found, which was continuous with a large, partially circumferential gastric mass extending from the mid-body to the proximal antrum...
