A Rare Case of Concurrent Intramedullary and Brain Tuberculoma: Diagnostic Challenges and Management.

Intramedullary spinal tuberculomas constitute a small percentage of spinal tuberculosis. These, in combination with brain tuberculomas, are an uncommon manifestation of central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis. This report details a unique case of a 32-year-old retroviral disease-positive male who presented with a two-month history of symmetrical quadriparesis and recent seizures.

Doctors' knowledge, practices, challenges, and limitations regarding disclosure of bad news: A multicentre study from Pakistan.

Background: Breaking bad news is one of the most difficult tasks for practicing doctors, especially for those working in health care specialties where life-threatening diseases are diagnosed and managed routinely. Our aim was to elicit the knowledge and practices of doctors and identify barriers faced by them in disclosure of bad news across the provinces of Pakistan.

Methods: Cross-sectional, multi-centered study supported by an external grant in 15 Government and Private Hospitals across Pakistan.

Liquid-liquid phase separation in microorganisms: Insights into existence, functions, and applications.

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is a universal mechanism essential for maintaining cellular integrity and function in microorganisms, facilitating the organization of biomolecules into dynamic compartments. Although extensively studied in mammalian cells, research on LLPS formation and regulation in microorganisms remains limited. This review integrates insights from diverse studies exploring LLPS across microorganisms.
