Syphilis, an infection caused by , is well known for its ability to mimic other diseases across various organ systems, complicating timely diagnosis. Ocular syphilis, though rare, is a severe manifestation that can closely resemble other eye conditions, making early identification challenging. When conventional treatments fail to improve symptoms, considering syphilis in the differential diagnosis becomes crucial to avoid further complications.

Objective: To investigate the association between renal mean perfusion pressure (MPP) and prognosis in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI).
Methods: Data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) was applied to identify dynamic MPP patterns, while restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves were utilized to confirm the non-linear relationship between MPP and mortality.

Background: To construct a nomogram and a Randomized Survival Forest (RSF) model for predicting the occurrence of sepsis in patients with cerebral infarction in intensive care units (ICUs).
Methods: A total of 1,963 patients were included from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database version 2.0 (MIMIC-IV v2.

Problem: Aging alters immune function in women and can lead increased risk of infections, particularly in the female reproductive tract (FRT).
Method Of Study: To determine how aging affects innate immune responses in the cervical stroma of the FRT, we isolated endocervical (CX) and ectocervical (ECX) stromal fibroblasts and determine if their expression of multiple pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and responses to viral stimulation varied with menopause and age.
Results: Constitutive expression of most PRRs did not vary with age or menopausal status in either cell type.

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune condition characterized by a reduced platelet count due to enhanced peripheral destruction and impaired platelet production. While thrombocytopenia is a well-documented complication of various viral infections, cytomegalovirus (CMV), a member of the Herpesviridae family, is primarily associated with infections in immunocompromised patients and is rarely implicated in causing severe thrombocytopenia in immunocompetent patients. This article aims to highlight the importance of considering CMV as a significant etiological factor in ITP, particularly in cases of asymptomatic thrombocytopenia.
