Background: Primary small vessel CNS vasculitis (sv-cPACNS) is a challenging inflammatory brain disease in children. Brain biopsy is mandatory to confirm the diagnosis. This study aims to develop and validate a histological scoring tool for diagnosing small vessel CNS vasculitis.

We generated a subline of VCaP cells (VCaP16) that is resistant to the AR inhibitor enzalutamide (ENZ). AR activity in VCaP16 is driven by ARv7, independently of full-length AR (ARfl), and its cistrome and transcriptome mirror those of ARfl in VCaP cells.

This report presents a case of a 31-year-old woman with a history of assisted reproductive technology (ART) and prior salpingectomy, who was diagnosed with a right cornual pregnancy following embryo transfer. The patient experienced lower abdominal pain and was found to have an enlarged uterus on ultrasonography.

- Toxoplasma gondii is a parasitic protozoan that can infect warm-blooded animals, including humans, and wild boars serve as a reservoir for this pathogen, potentially leading to toxoplasmosis in humans.
- In a study conducted in Khuzestan Province, Iran, serological testing revealed an 83.3% prevalence of T. gondii antibodies in wild boars, while molecular testing identified the parasite's DNA in 46.7% of tissue samples, particularly in the tongue.
- The findings emphasize the public health risk associated with the illegal hunting and consumption of wild boar meat, highlighting the need for measures to control this illegal trade and reduce the risk of transmission of toxoplasmosis.
