Reevaluating Mask Effectiveness: Insights From Evidence-Based Medicine and Clinical Trials.

Microbiology, Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, BRA.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, masks were widely promoted and mandated as a key measure to help reduce the transmission of SARS-CoV-2. These policies were primarily informed by laboratory evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of particle filtration, alongside observational studies. While several meta-analyses have indicated that masks may contribute to reducing viral transmission, many of these analyses rely heavily on observational data.

Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are tangles of abnormal vessels with early arteriovenous (AV) shunting that can lead to intracerebral hemorrhage, seizures, neurologic deficit, or headache. To date, only a few cases of carcinomas metastasizing to pre-existing cerebral AVMs have been reported in the literature. However, renal clear cell carcinoma (RCC) brain metastases that exhibit early AV shunting, where AVM pathology is not present, are extremely rare.

Active infective endocarditis (IE) with multivalvular involvement, the most severe form of IE, requires a demanding clinical and surgical management. Clinical guidelines describe the operative approach to multivalvular involvement as challenging with subpar postoperative outcomes. Quadruple valvular IE remains a rare clinical phenomenon, with high mortality rates and poor surgical outcomes.

Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), is characterized by systemic uncontrolled inflammation resulting from immune dysregulation secondary to various triggers, including genetics, infections, autoimmune diseases, and malignancies. Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is an immune dysregulation phenomenon, in which an underlying rheumatological disease is present. We report a rare, interesting case of a middle-aged female, with a systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) flare complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), in which tuberculous meningitis (TBM) was the identified trigger.

Renal cell carcinoma accounts for 3% of all malignancies with many of them presenting with metastasis at the time of presentation. The abscopal effect, a phenomenon characterized by systemic bystander effects on nontargeted lesions due to local therapy, has been extensively studied in the context of radiotherapy and immunotherapy. However, documentation of the abscopal effect following surgery remains limited.
