Genomics Insights into Causing Infection in a Cat with Pyogranulomatous Dermatitis and Panniculitis.

(homotypic synonym: ) represents an ungrouped thermotolerant rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) species occasionally associated with infections and disease in humans. In this report, we describe a case of pyogranulomatous dermatitis and panniculitis due to in an immunocompetent adult cat. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first report of infection in animals.

Temozolomide based treatment in glioblastoma: 6 vs. 12 months.

The Stupp regimen remains the standard treatment for newly diagnosed glioblastomas, although the prognosis remains poor. Several temozolomide alternative schedules have been studied, with extended adjuvant treatment (>6 cycles of temozolomide) frequently used, although different trials have indicated contrasting results. Survival data of 87 patients who received 6 ('6C' group) or 12 ('12C' group) cycles of temozolomide were collected between 2012 and 2022.
