Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord is a typical clinical syndrome due to vitamin B12 deficiency, characterised by the involvement of the posterior column and corticospinal tracts. Occasionally, it may present with atypical features such as a sensory level and Lhermitte's sign, both traditionally considered to be a feature of compressive myelopathy. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging strongly augments the diagnosis by exhibiting changes in the posterior column in the form of a 'dot'. We describe such a patient who responded to therapy.

Idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (iNSIP) is recognized as a distinct entity among various types of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIP). It is identified histologically by the nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) pattern. A diagnosis of iNSIP is feasible once secondary causes or underlying diseases are ruled out.

This study investigates serum cell-free DNA fluctuations in patients with herpes zoster or post-herpetic neuralgia, offering insight into the tissue damage and inflammatory dynamics associated with these conditions. A single-centre combined cross-sectional and longitudinal study was conducted with 59 patients to assess cell-free DNA levels in herpes zoster and post-herpetic neuralgia. Cell-free DNA was extracted from blood samples of patients with herpes zoster or post-herpetic neuralgia and compared with healthy controls.
