Angiostrongylus cantonensis (AC) is the leading cause of eosinophilic meningoencephalitis worldwide. The neuroimmune interactions between peripheral and central immune systems in angiostrongyliasis remain unclear. In this study, significant infiltration of eosinophils, myeloid cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and Ly6C monocytes is observed in the brains of AC-infected mice, with macrophages being the most abundant.

Background And Aims: Despite the benefits of artificial intelligence in small-bowel (SB) capsule endoscopy (CE) image reading, information on its application in the stomach and SB CE is lacking.
Methods: In this multicenter, retrospective diagnostic study, gastric imaging data were added to the deep learning-based SmartScan (SS), which has been described previously. A total of 1069 magnetically controlled GI CE examinations (comprising 2,672,542 gastric images) were used in the training phase for recognizing gastric pathologies, producing a new artificial intelligence algorithm named SS Plus.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of two treatments, vedolizumab (VDZ) and infliximab (IFX), in patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis who had not previously received biologic therapy.
- In a cohort of 122 patients, both treatments showed similar rates of steroid-free clinical remission and overall clinical remission after 14 and 52 weeks, with VDZ showing a significantly higher mucosal healing rate at 14 weeks.
- Overall, the findings suggest that both VDZ and IFX are effective, safe options for first-line treatment in this patient group, with no major differences in side effects noted between the two therapies.
