Neurocysticercosis, a central nervous system infection caused by the zoonotic parasite Taenia solium, is a leading cause of acquired epilepsy worldwide. It is common in areas with extensive pig farming and pork consumption. This report presents an unusual case of neurocysticercosis in a 28-year-old male from Timor-Leste, a region of nonendemicity for human cases of Taenia solium.

Purpose: Over the past 15 years, the landscape of early phase clinical trials (EPCTs) has undergone a remarkable expansion in both quantity and intricacy. The proliferation of sites, trials, sponsors, and contract research organizations has surged exponentially, marking a significant shift in research conduct. However, EPCT operations suffer from numerous inefficiencies, such as cumbersome start-up processes, which are particularly critical when drug safety and the recommended phase II dose need to be established in a timely manner.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Regions Hospital, St. Paul, MN; and.

Chest wall trauma is rapidly evolving and now represents a multidisciplinary field with incredible growth in research and surgical intervention; however, even with more than 800 publications on chest wall trauma to date, surgical indications are not black and white. Injury patterns need to be better defined and outcome measurements need to evolve for accurate longer term functional assessment of patients if this field of surgery is to move beyond historical indications for operative intervention. This essay will communicate what is known about operative indications in a way that stratifies the need for surgery.

CD28 is a costimulatory receptor that provides the second signal necessary for T-cell activation and is associated with diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and cancer. Targeting CD28 is crucial for both functional bioanalysis and therapeutic development. Molecular probes, particularly fluorescent probes, can enhance our understanding of CD28's cellular roles.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly in newborns. Advances in catheter and surgical techniques led to the majority of these patients surviving into adulthood, leading to evolving challenges due to the emergence of long-term complications such as arrhythmias. Interventional electrophysiology (EP) has had remarkable advances over the last few decades, and various techniques and devices have been explored to treat adult patients with CHD.
