Eosinophilic coronary arteritis is rare, and it occurs principally as a manifestation of cardiac involvement in Churg-Strauss syndrome (allergic granulomatosis and angiitis). A 39-year-old white man, who was an asthmatic, died suddenly and unexpectedly. Autopsy showed isolated eosinophilic coronary arteritis associated with myocardial necrosis, and isolated eosinophilic myocarditis as the cause of death. This limited form of Churg-Strauss syndrome, to our knowledge, has not been reported previously.

Department of Pediatrics, Grenoble-Alpes University Hospital, Grenoble, France.
The purpose of this study was to identify pediatric eosinophilic fasciitis, which is an extremely rare condition, in order to describe their clinical, paraclinical, and therapeutic characteristics. We made a call for observations via societies for pediatric rheumatology in France and surrounding countries and collected clinical and paraclinical data of the cases fulfilling the diagnostic criteria. Eight patients under 18 years of age with confirmed eosinophilic fasciitis followed between April 2004 and July 2022 in France, Germany, Italy, and Spain were included.

Aquaculture has grown significantly, contributing to global food security and sustainability; however, intensified fish farming has increased disease susceptibility and antibiotic resistance. This study assessed the probiotic potential of PSCPL13 (hereafter, PSCPL13), isolated from the intestines of Japanese eels, for enhancing the health of olive flounder. After screening 16 isolates, PSCPL13 was selected because of its potential broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against many pathogens, such as and .

Sporotrichosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease that is spreading and causing epidemics in large urban centers. Cats are the most susceptible species to develop the disease, which could cause significant systemic lesions. The aim was to investigate and to identify predictive indicators of disease progression by correlations between the blood profile (hematological and biochemical analytes) and cutaneous lesion patterns of 70 cats diagnosed with .
