We report the case of a 69-year-old female who presented with a chronic nasal skin rash, new onset focal seizure, and a cerebral ring-enhancing lesion after a year of improper nasal irrigation. Despite aggressive and novel anti-amoebic treatment, she died as a result of a Balamuthia mandrillaris brain infection.

- Proper management of adult gliomas hinges on accurate histopathological diagnosis, but the tumor's heterogeneity can result in misdiagnosis and undergrading, particularly with biopsies.
- A study of 146 patients with newly diagnosed gliomas utilized preoperative relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) analysis alongside histopathology to evaluate predictions for overall survival and the risk of undergrading.
- Results indicated that rCBV analysis effectively stratified patients into various risk groups for survival, highlighting the potential of elevated rCBV to identify cases that might be undergraded, thus suggesting rCBV can serve as a reliable predictor of survival alongside traditional grading.
Purpose: Severe primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is the major early problem following lung transplantation. Aprotinin, a serine protease inhibitor, has many anti-inflammatory properties that might reduce or prevent lung injury. Our hypothesis was that the incidence of PGD could be reduced by a combination of donor lung perfusion and systemic administration of aprotinin to recipients.
