Article Synopsis
- * A study using a mouse model of depression revealed that chronic stress alters brain circuits in the basolateral amygdala, affecting how positive and negative stimuli are processed.
- * Key findings suggest that negatively biased stimulus processing can be improved by stimulating certain neural pathways, highlighting potential targets for depression treatment.
Pseudomycetomas are rare fungal subcutaneous infections caused by dermatophytes, which are mainly observed in immunocompromised patients. Mycobacterium genavense is considered an opportunistic pathogen in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), clinically resembling the presentation of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). Here, we describe the case of a 26-year-old PLWHA with a 3-month history of a 4cm tumoral, duroelastic and painful lesion located on the back.

Objectives: To analyze the clinical characteristics and evolution of people living with HIV/AIDS and coinfection with cryptococcus and COVID-19 (group A) or without it (group B).
Materials And Methods: This is an analytical and retrospective study.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined fetal radiation exposure in pregnant women with trauma, focusing on how different injury assessments impact radiation doses to the fetus.
- Conducted in multiple hospitals, the research assessed cumulative radiation doses in 54 pregnant women, finding that most underwent whole-body CT scans, which led to a median fetal dose of 38 mGy, below the 100 mGy safety threshold.
- Results showed lower maternal mortality (6%) compared to fetal mortality (17%), indicating that a selective imaging strategy can be safe in skilled medical settings for specific cases of trauma.
Research Question: Why are women who face poor prognoses for success in assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment choosing to pursue procedures using their own eggs, despite receiving information that their chances of success are very low.
Design: Cross-sectional study based on an anonymous questionnaire distributed to women aged between 43 and 45 years, undergoing ART using their own oocytes, at six public outpatient fertility clinics and three public in-hospital IVF units in Israel between 2015 and 2016. The main outcome measure was personal estimation of chance to achieve a live birth after the current ART treatment cycle and the cumulative estimated rate after all the treatment cycles the patient intended to undergo.
