Unlabelled: Pseudorabies virus (PRV), a member of the alpha-herpesviruses, can infect both the nervous and reproductive systems of pigs, causing neonatal mortality and reproductive failure in sows, which incurs substantial economic losses. Neurotropism is a common characteristic of various viruses, allowing them to cross the blood-brain barrier and access the central nervous system. However, the precise mechanisms by which PRV affects the blood-brain barrier are not well understood.

- Porcine circovirus type 4 (PCV4) has been identified in domestic pigs in China and Korea, prompting research into its potential impact on cats.
- A study in Sichuan Province collected samples from 116 cats, finding PCV4 in 5 (4.31%) of them, marking the first molecular detection of this virus in cats globally.
- The study revealed that a PCV4 strain from a cat showed high genetic similarity to strains found in other species, suggesting possible cross-species transmission, but further research is needed to link PCV4 to any clinical issues in cats.
Seneca Valley virus (SVV), a non-enveloped positive single-stranded virus can cause vesicular disease in swine. However, the mechanisms by which SVV activates an innate immune response remain unknown. Mitofusin-2 (MFN2), a mitochondria-shaping protein regulating mitochondrial fusion and fission, plays a crucial role in innate immune responses.

However, their significance and correlation to migraine disease burden remain unclear. This study aims to examine the correlation of WMHs with migraine features and explore the relationship between WMHs and migraine prognosis.

Methods: The material of 64-SCTA in 34 cases were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative imaging findings were correlated with intraoperative and histopathologic results.
