Introduction And Importance: Tuberculous osteoarthritis, a rare condition affecting the elbow in 1-5Â % of cases, poses diagnostic challenges due to its subtle clinical presentation, often resulting in delayed diagnosis. Herein, we present a case of tuberculous osteoarthritis involving the elbow joint. Our aim is to underscore the complexities associated with diagnosing this condition and to emphasize the critical importance of early recognition and appropriate management strategies for optimal patient outcomes.

Background: Lupus podocytopathy (LP) is a non-immune complex-mediated glomerular lesion in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), characterized by the diffuse effacement of podocyte processes without immune complex deposition or with only mesangial immune complex deposition. LP is a rare cause of nephrotic syndrome in SLE patients with implications for prognosis and treatment.
Case Report: We present the case of a 28-year-old woman with a medical history of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) who presented with lower limb edema, dyspnea, hypercholesterolemia, with nephrotic range proteinuria, without acute kidney injury, and laboratory findings compatible with auto-immune hemolytic anemia.

Here, we discuss a rare and to our knowledge, the first case of an atypical Van der Knaap's disease in a 6-year-old boy who presented with motor difficulties, developmental delay, cognitive impairment, seizures. The objective of this report is to highlight its unusual findings on MRI including internal capsule, brainstem, cerebellum involvement; subependymal nodular heterotopia, subependymal cysts, cortical laminar necrosis along with typical findings of megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy and subcortical cysts. The study also underscores the clinical implications of this complex pathology, with emphasis on comprehensive neuroradiological evaluation for atypical presentations to guide better diagnostic and management outcomes.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), which is also known as von Recklinghausen's disease, is a multisystem genetic disease that is principally associated with cutaneous, neurologic and orthopedic manifestations. The present case report described an unusual case with a giant cutaneous neoplasm on the right breast skin of a 36-year-old female who was admitted to the Department of Breast Surgery at the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University (Urumqi, China). Skin mass excision was performed and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of thoracic plexiform neurofibroma as a primary presentation of NF1.

PF1163A () is a fungal metabolite that inhibits sterol-C4-methyl oxidase. In this study, we identified the biosynthetic gene cluster of and elucidated its biosynthetic pathway through heterologous expression experiments. Polyketide synthase-nonribosomal synthetase hybrid PfaA, which is responsible for the biosynthesis of PF1163A, harbors an unusual domain organization with tandem condensation (C) domains and a terminal condensation domain.
