Intracranial tuberculomas diagnosed with Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra assay of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded brain tissues and treated with an optimized antituberculosis regimen: A case report.

Diagnosis of intracranial tuberculoma remains a challenge due to its rarity, non-specific clinical presentation, and radiological findings. Herein, we describe a case of intracranial tuberculomas in a male diabetic patient who presented headache and vomiting on admission. Neuroimaging findings indicated multiple ring contrast-enhanced lesions with extensive perilesional edema.

Seismic evidence for melt-rich lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary beneath young slab at Cascadia.

The Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary (LAB) beneath oceanic plates is generally imaged as a sharp seismic velocity reduction, suggesting the presence of partial melts. However, the fate of a melt-rich LAB is unclear after these plates descend into the mantle at subduction zones. Recent geophysical studies suggest its persistence with down-going old and cold slabs, but whether or not it is commonly present remains unclear, especially for young and warm slabs such as in the Cascadia subduction zone.

Fine mapping and characterisation of a mediating anthocyanin synthesis in snap bean ( L.).

Unlabelled: Anthocyanin makes snap bean ( L.) pods purple, which helps seed dispersal and protects against environmental stress. In this study, we characterised the snap bean purple mutant , which has purple cotyledon, hypocotyl, stem, leaf vein, flower and pod tissues.

Pharmacokinetics of Antituberculosis Drugs in Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid in a Patient with Pre-Extensive Drug Resistant Tuberculosis Meningitis.

Drug-resistant tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the most devastating and critical form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Here, we present a case of a 45-year-old male with pre-extensive drug-resistant tuberculosis meningitis (pre-XDR-TBM). He underwent emergency surgery for the long-tunneled external ventricular drainage (LTEVD).

The rise, collapse, and compaction of Mt. Mantap from the 3 September 2017 North Korean nuclear test.

Surveillance of clandestine nuclear tests relies on a global seismic network, but the potential of spaceborne monitoring has been underexploited. We used satellite radar imagery to determine the complete surface displacement field of up to 3.5 meters of divergent horizontal motion with 0.

MiR-19a promotes cell proliferation and invasion by targeting RhoB in human glioma cells.

MicroRNA-19a (miR-19a) is upregulated in different types of cancers, including gliomas, but its specific role and function in gliomas have yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, we found that miR-19a was significantly upregulated in human glioma tissues and cell lines. Overexpression of miR-19a by a miR-19a mimic promoted glioma cell proliferation and invasion.

Rayleigh-wave dispersion reveals crust-mantle decoupling beneath eastern Tibet.

The Tibetan Plateau results from the collision of the Indian and Eurasian Plates during the Cenozoic, which produced at least 2,000 km of convergence. Its tectonics is dominated by an eastward extrusion of crustal material that has been explained by models implying either a mechanical decoupling between the crust and the lithosphere, or lithospheric deformation. Discriminating between these end-member models requires constraints on crustal and lithospheric mantle deformations.
