- CNS TB can often be mistaken for other conditions like meningiomas, particularly when affecting the anterior skull base.
- A case study of a 39-year-old man showed how initial imaging indicated a meningioma, but a biopsy confirmed it was a tuberculoma leading to effective treatment.
- This highlights the importance of including tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of brain lesions, especially in areas where TB is common, to enhance patient outcomes.
Purpose: Carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) is a well-established prognostic marker in breast cancer (BC). Nevertheless, this prognostic value is yet to be confirmed in BC subtypes. This study aims to investigate the prognostic effects of CAIX in oestrogen receptor (ER)-negative (ER-) BCs and to establish pathways related to cytoplasmic CAIX expression in ER- and lymph node-negative BCs.

Although various knowledge about meningiomas exists, there still seems to be a lacuna as far as explicit relations between tumoral characteristics and the severity or evolution of symptoms are concerned.

SLE can be induced by various medications, such as hydralazine, procainamide, isoniazid, methyldopa, chlorpromazine, quinidine, and minocycline. Hydralazine-induced lupus syndrome was first reported in 1953, and only occurs in 5-10% of patients taking hydralazine.
