- Diagnosis of TIPIC relies on a distinct combination of clinical symptoms and imaging results, making it essential to recognize for effective treatment.

Drug-Resistant Bone, Joint and Spine Tuberculosis: Evolution of Diagnosis and Treatment.
Indian J Orthop
June 2024
University College of Medical Sciences, University of Delhi, A10 Part B, Ashok Nagar, Ghaziabad, 201002 India.
Background: Drug resistant (DR) osteoarticular TB (OATB) is a challenge in view of it being deep seated lesion and paucibacillary disease. Case definition, investigation protocol, treatment of proven DR and those cases where DR could not be demonstrated lacks clarity and evidence. Hence, a series of studies were conducted to develop an algorithm to investigate and treat therapeutically refractory disease (TRD) or presumptive drug resistance (PDR) cases of OATB.

- * Accurate histopathological diagnosis is critical for assessing patient risk and ensuring consistent follow-up across different medical centers, particularly as the classification of these tumors evolves with increasing understanding of their biological mechanisms.
- * Recent updates to tumor classification, such as renaming "adenomas" to "Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors" and emphasizing specific genetic factors, highlight the need for continued interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance understanding and standardize diagnosis and treatment of these tumors.

Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India.
Article Synopsis
- The International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM) has updated guidelines for managing allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) and allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis (ABPM) due to improvements in diagnostic and therapeutic methods.
- An expert group utilized a modified Delphi method to reach a consensus on the recommendations, which include screening practices and diagnostic criteria for ABPA and ABPM in both adults and children.
- Key recommendations include routine screening for fungal sensitization in specific patient groups, clear diagnostic criteria for ABPA and ABPM, and suggested treatments such as oral prednisolone or itraconazole for acute cases, while noting that asymptomatic ABPA patients do not require treatment.
Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome: A Complication of Acute Renal Failure in a Child.
Glob Pediatr Health
November 2023
Mohammed V University, Rabat, Morocco.
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinico-radiological entity occurring during several conditions and more frequently in those associated with severe hypertension. The diagnostic approach is possible by considering the clinical context and MRI data, where white matter abnormalities are observed predominantly in the parietal and occipital territories secondary to the formation of a vasogenic edema. The evolution is characterized by a reversibility of the lesions in case of early diagnosis and management.
