A Case of Ganser Syndrome Presenting as a Stroke Alert: Fact or Factitious?
Cureus
October 2024
Department of Neurology, University of South Alabama College of Medicine, Mobile, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Ganser syndrome is a rare disorder marked by giving almost correct answers to questions, hallucinations, and altered consciousness, often linked to functional neurological symptoms.
- A case study highlights a 53-year-old man who showed these symptoms after sudden left-sided weakness, following a police report of indecent exposure.
- His inconsistent mental status during evaluation suggested he was aware of his thoughts, and previous hospitalization records support that fear of legal consequences triggered his Ganser syndrome symptoms.
Distinct community structure and microbial functions of biofilms colonizing microplastics.
Sci Total Environ
February 2019
Key Laboratory of Integrated Regulation and Resources Development on Shallow Lakes of Ministry of Education, College of Environment, Hohai University, Nanjing, 210098, People's Republic of China.
Microplastics are frequently detected in freshwater environments, serving as a new factitious substrate for colonization of biofilm-forming microorganisms. Distinct microbial assemblages between microplastics and surrounding waters have been well documented; however, there is insufficient knowledge regarding biofilm colonization of plastic and non-plastic substrates, despite the fact that microbial communities generally aggregate on natural solid surfaces. In this study, the effects of substrate type on microbial communities were evaluated by incubation of biofilms on microplastic substrates (polyethylene and polypropylene) and natural substrates (cobblestone and wood) for 21 days under controlled conditions.

J Dtsch Dermatol Ges
May 2018
Department of Dermatology, Jena University Hospital, Jena, Germany.
Background: Dermatitis artefacta is a relevant and frequently unrecognized clinical condition associated with self-harming behavior, in which unconscious manipulation causes skin lesions. While atypical lesions and an unusual disease course may give rise to clinical suspicion of a self-induced disorder, questioning and examining these patients usually fails to confirm or clarify this suspicion. In this setting, the dermatopathologist may be faced with the question whether there are any histological signs corroborating the diagnosis of dermatitis artefacta.
