Temperature-dependent composition of summertime PM in observations and model predictions across the Eastern U.S.

Throughout the U.S., summertime fine particulate matter (PM) exhibits a strong temperature (T) dependence.

Case report. Elbow monoarthritis revealing B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Skeletal involvement is described in 25% of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, typically as secondary, rarely as primary lymphoma of bone. Joint infiltration is very rare and monoarthritis can be a secondary synovial reaction to adjacent bone disease or direct synovial involvement. We describe an unusual case of monoarthritis of the elbow in a middle-aged man without signs and/or symptoms associated with malignancy and with no previous rheumatic disease.

Isolation and characterization of Malassezia spp. in healthy swine of different breeds.

Malassezia spp. genus is represented by several lipophilic yeasts, normally present on the skin of many warm-blooded vertebrates, including man. Swine are one of the less investigated animal species.

Association of Eosinophilic fasciitis and epileptic seizure.

Visceral involvement in eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is a well known but rare event. With regard to neurological manifestations, both carpal tunnel syndrome and peripheral neuropathy have been described. We report the case of a 40-year-old woman with EF who had a major motor seizure.

[Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in a patient with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia].

Although a peripheral neuropathy is the best known neurological complication of Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia (WM), the association of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), or other Motor Neuron Diseases (MND) with monoclonal gammopathies is described. We report the case of a male patient (41 years old) with WM and ALS. Whether monoclonal gammopathies play a role in the pathogenesis of MND is unclear but is la possible that patients might have antibodies against motor neurons.
