Article Synopsis
  • Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare T-cell lymphoma marked by the presence of CD30 and can often be mistaken for other conditions due to its vague symptoms.
  • A 10-year-old girl initially treated for a bacterial infection was later diagnosed with ALK-negative ALCL after a biopsy revealed the disease, with additional imaging showing lung involvement and a Murphy stage II classification.
  • The case highlights the necessity of early biopsy and molecular testing when initial treatments don't work, emphasizing that prompt diagnosis and thorough examinations can significantly enhance treatment success and patient prognosis.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium . This disease is characterized by four different stages, each presenting with a variety of manifestations or asymptomatic disease. These stages can be further broken down into early-stage syphilis, which includes primary and secondary syphilis, and late-stage syphilis, which includes tertiary syphilis.

Article Synopsis
  • * Its causes are not fully understood but may involve genetics, environmental factors, and immune system issues; certain medications can also trigger SCLE, such as calcium channel blockers and diuretics.
  • * A case is highlighted where SCLE developed in a patient receiving intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) for another condition, suggesting that healthcare providers across specialties should be aware of this potential side effect.

Cryptochromes (CRY) are highly conserved signalling molecules that regulate circadian rhythms and are candidate radical pair based magnetoreceptors. Birds have at least four cryptochromes (CRY1a, CRY1b, CRY2, and CRY4), but few studies have interrogated their function. Here we investigate the expression, localisation and interactome of clCRY2 in the pigeon retina.

Tissue-clearing methods allow every cell in the mouse brain to be imaged without physical sectioning. However, the computational tools currently available for cell quantification in cleared tissue images have been limited to counting sparse cell populations in stereotypical mice. Here, we introduce NuMorph, a group of analysis tools to quantify all nuclei and nuclear markers within the mouse cortex after clearing and imaging by light-sheet microscopy.
