A Chain of Events Leading to Posttraumatic Subacute Meningitis.

Am J Forensic Med Pathol

January 2025

County of Santa Clara, Medical Examiner-Coroner Office, San Jose, CA.

There are few reports that discuss the nebulous entity known as posttraumatic subacute meningitis. Herein, we describe a case where a male was found deceased with Streptococcus pyogenes meningitis 7 days after experiencing head trauma inflicted with a tow chain. Computed tomography scan prior to death revealed a scalp laceration with subcutaneous gas and a subdural hematoma.

Co-existing neuropathological comorbidities have been repeatedly reported to be extremely common in subjects dying with dementia due to Alzheimer disease. As these are likely to be additive to cognitive impairment, and may not be affected by molecularly-specific AD therapeutics, they may cause significant inter-individual response heterogeneity amongst subjects in AD clinical trials. Furthermore, while originally noted for the oldest old, recent reports have now documented high neuropathological comorbidity prevalences in younger old AD subjects, who are more likely to be included in clinical trials.

Purpose Of The Review: Accidental autoerotic death, more commonly known as "autoerotic asphyxia," is an extreme paraphilic behavior wherein individuals induce cerebral hypoxia during self-stimulated sexual activities, often by constricting the neck or obstructing respiratory passages. Data on accidental deaths caused by autoerotic play is very low because of the non-disclosure of the mode/circumstances of death or non-paralleled forensic systems in many countries. There is a high likelihood of coexisting mental disorders with such behavior.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was identified in China in late December 2019 and led to a pandemic that resulted in millions of confirmed cases and deaths. The causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), uses distinct receptors and co-receptors to enter host cells. Vimentin has emerged as a potential co-receptor for SARS-CoV-2 due to the high level of vimentin expression in testis tissue.

Isolation, identification, and pathogenicity of a goose astrovirus 1 strain from goslings in Jiangsu province, China.

Microb Pathog

January 2025

Jiangsu Agri-Animal Husbandry Vocational College, Jiangsu Key Laboratory for High-Tech Research and Development of Veterinary Biopharmaceuticals, Taizhou 225300, PR China. Electronic address:

Goose astrovirus (GAstV) poses a large threat to the goose industry in China, with two genotypes: goose astrovirus genotype 1 (GAstV-1) and GAstV-2. GAstV-2 causes gout in goslings; however, understanding of GAstV-1 is limited. In this study, the GAstV-1 strain JY202323, was isolated from dead goslings, and its complete genome sequence was obtained using next-generation sequencing.
