Cerebrospinal Fluid Cytology in Lyme Neuroborreliosis Revisited-Role of Neutrophilic Granulocytes: A Retrospective Single-Center Study.

: diagnosis of Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) relies on medical history, clinical findings, and detection of pathogen-specific antibodies in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The chemoattractant CXCL13 serves as an additional marker for LNB acuity. During the diagnostic workup, cytomorphological examination of immune cells in CSF provides early insights.

A Pharmacokinetic Study of the Interaction Between Regorafenib and Paracetamol in Male Rats.

: In clinical practice, the prevalent problem of polypharmacy could result in increased risks of drug-drug interactions. Regorafenib (REG) is commonly co-administered with paracetamol (PA) as a treatment protocol in cancer patients with pain therapy. : This study aimed to demonstrate the effect of paracetamol on the pharmacokinetic parameters of regorafenib and its metabolites following a single administration of both substances in rats.

Impact of Continuous Ofatumumab Exposure During Pregnancy in Multiple Sclerosis.

Objectives: Anti-CD20 therapies are highly effective treatment options for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), an inflammatory disorder of the CNS commonly affecting women of childbearing age. Anti-CD20 therapies are however unlicensed for use in pregnancy. Belonging to the IgG1 family, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies are likely to cross the placenta, especially after the 20th week of gestation.

How can event attribution science underpin financial decisions on Loss and Damage?

With climate extremes hitting nations across the globe, disproportionately burdening vulnerable developing countries, the prompt operation of the Loss and Damage fund is of paramount importance. As decisions on resource disbursement at the international level, and investment strategies at the national level, loom, the climate science community's role in providing fair and effective evidence is crucial. Attribution science can provide useful information for decision makers, but both ethical implications and deep uncertainty cannot be ignored.

S. mansoni -derived omega-1 prevents OVA-specific allergic airway inflammation via hampering of cDC2 migration.

Chronic infection with Schistosoma mansoni parasites is associated with reduced allergic sensitization in humans, while schistosome eggs protects against allergic airway inflammation (AAI) in mice. One of the main secretory/excretory molecules from schistosome eggs is the glycosylated T2-RNAse Omega-1 (ω1). We hypothesized that ω1 induces protection against AAI during infection.
