Objective: Analyze retrospectively the clinical, histopathological and surgical characteristics of patients with Mindtrier's disease (MD) at our Institution.

Background Data: Ménétrier's disease (MD) includes hipertophy of gastric mucosa, hipo or hiperchloridria and severe hipoalbuminemia. In the literature, it has been underestimated its relationship with the development of gastric carcinoma.

Methods: We analyzed retrospectively the clinical trials of patients with MD treated surgically at our Institution during the last three decades (From 1970 through 2002).

Results: Three patients with clinical diagnosis of MD underwent total gastrectomy during the study period. All of them were corroborated histopathologically and in one patient carcinoma in situ was demonstrated in the surgical specimen.

Conclusions: There is a very limited experience with surgical treatment of MD and it is limited to patients who have severe hipoalbuminemia or associated malignant disease. However accordig to our experience and literature review, surgical treatment should be considered early in the course of the disease for the relationship between MD and gastric adenocarcinoma.

Background: Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), and may cause fever, nausea, headache, or meningitis. It is currently unclear whether the epidemiological characteristics of the JEV have been affected by the extreme climatic conditions that have been observed in recent years.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the epidemiological characteristics, trends, and potential risk factors of JE in Taiwan from 2008 to 2020.

Background: Clinical characteristics and outcomes of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) infection and colonization have rarely been reported in patients with severe burns, who are prone to severe bacterial infections. This study aimed to evaluate clinical characteristics and outcomes of CRE infection and colonization in patients with severe burns.

Methods: The characteristics of 106 episodes of CRE acquisition (infection or colonization) in 98 patients with severe burns were evaluated by a retrospective medical record review.

Evaluation of Lyso-Gb1 as a biomarker for Gaucher disease treatment outcomes using data from the Gaucher Outcome Survey.

Background: Patients with Gaucher disease (GD) require continual monitoring; however, lack of specific disease biomarkers was a significant challenge in the past. Glucosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb1) has been shown to be a reliable, key, specific, and sensitive biomarker for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response in clinical studies of patients with GD. We evaluated the change in lyso-Gb1 concentration over time following enzyme replacement therapy in patients with confirmed GD using real-world data from the Gaucher Outcome Survey disease registry.

Background: Glioblastoma is the commonest malignant brain tumor and has a very poor prognosis. Reduced expression of the MGMT gene (10q26.3), influenced primarily by the methylation of two differentially methylated regions (DMR1 and DMR2), is associated with a good response to temozolomide treatment.
