This is a retrospective cross-sectional diagnostic test accuracy study of direct immunofluorescence (DIF) performed on a group of potential lupus erythematosus (LE)/dermatomyositis (DM) skin biopsies from 2015 to 2020 at a large, academic medical center. For purposes of this study, which was focused primarily on detection of LE/DM-related interface dermatitis, DIF was considered positive for a LE/DM pattern if it showed granular deposition of immunoglobulin G, with or without C3, at the basement membrane zone on the final pathology report. Blinded clinicopathologic correlation was the reference standard.

Background: Growing evidence suggests that the imbalance between excitability and inhibitory neural activity is a key aspect of cognitive decline. Subclinical epileptiform activity (SEA) has been indicated as a marker of increased cortical excitability. While SEA is considered as a benign EEG sign in the elderly population, recent studies demonstrated its role in the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

Background: Currently, most clinical services focus on dementia diagnosis rather than prevention, despite evidence showing benefits of preventative interventions. People often present with memory problems before having dementia, or when in the early stages and are motivated to adopt preventive lifestyle strategies to slow decline. To address gaps in clinical services we set up the Bristol Brain Health Clinic (BHC) in 2017.

Syphilis, an infection caused by , is well known for its ability to mimic other diseases across various organ systems, complicating timely diagnosis. Ocular syphilis, though rare, is a severe manifestation that can closely resemble other eye conditions, making early identification challenging. When conventional treatments fail to improve symptoms, considering syphilis in the differential diagnosis becomes crucial to avoid further complications.
