A mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm was detected on computed tomographic angiography of two male patients who were followed up after reporting symptoms of abdominal pain, malaise, and fever of unknown origin. One of the patients' aneurysm was repaired with a tubular graft and the other patient had endovascular aneurysm repair due to his high co-morbidity. From pre-operative cultures and a pathological examination of the surgical specimens, it was observed that the aneurysms had developed in the abdominal aorta due to Salmonella enterica, and broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy was started. We present these two cases of mycotic aneurysm due to Salmonella. The patients were discharged after the postoperative course of antibiotic treatments were completed.

Exploring the barriers to cervical screening and perspectives on new self-sampling methods amongst under-served groups.

Background: Cervical screening rates have fallen in recent years in the UK, representing a health inequity for some under-served groups. Self-sampling alternatives to cervical screening may be useful where certain barriers prohibit access to routine cervical screening. However, there is limited evidence on whether self-sampling methods address known barriers to cervical screening and subsequently increase uptake amongst under-screened groups.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is an important drug used in the treatment of many malignancies. Unfortunately DOX causes various side effects, with cardiotoxicity being the most characteristic. Risk factors for DOX induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) include cumulative dose of DOX, preexisting cardiovascular diseases, dyslipidemia, diabetes, smoking, along with the use of other cardiotoxic agents.

In tropical countries, malaria transmission is the major health issue. To eradicate malaria, health communities depend on the control measure that affects economy and environment of the countries. To overcome these burdens, there is a great need to develop vaccine against malaria, but there is no vaccine to control malaria effectively.

Basal ganglia hemorrhage (BGH) is a prevalent site for intracerebral hemorrhage. Although neuroendoscopy (NE) surgery has emerged as a less invasive alternative to craniotomy (CT), the optimal surgical method remains debatable. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of NE versus CT in the management of BGH.

The excessive cytokine release and limited persistence represent major challenges for chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy in diverse tumors. Conventional CARs employ an intracellular domain (ICD) from the ζ subunit of CD3 as a signaling module, and it is largely unknown how alternative CD3 chains potentially contribute to CAR design. Here, we obtained a series of CAR-T cells against HER2 and mesothelin using a domain comprising a single immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif from different CD3 subunits as the ICD of CARs.
