Article Synopsis
  • Pesticides are widely used to protect crops from pests, fungi, and diseases while also helping to control diseases like malaria, but their application needs careful management to prevent harm to humans, animals, and the environment.
  • The review categorizes pesticides into different types (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, etc.) and discusses their functions, benefits such as increased crop yields, and risks like pest resistance and health hazards from residues.
  • It emphasizes the importance of responsible pesticide use and integrated pest management strategies to balance agricultural productivity with environmental and health safety.

As the role of neurologists in managing patients with rheumatic diseases expands, collaboration between rheumatologists and neurologists becomes increasingly vital. This literature review provides an overview of the central nervous system (CNS) manifestations of major autoimmune rheumatic disorders, which may include parenchymal brain and meningeal disease (stroke, meningoencephalitis, meningitis), myelopathies, psychosis, chorea, seizure disorders, and various forms of cephalea. Novel findings linking specific autoimmune markers to CNS damage reveal a direct, previously underestimated link between systemic inflammation and neural injury.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on two types of species within a genus that cause Lyme Disease (LD) and Relapsing Fever (RF), highlighting their growing distribution due to climate change and human activities.
  • It emphasizes the need for a One Health strategy to understand the interactions between humans, animals, and the environment in the transmission of these diseases.
  • A review of existing literature identified 429 relevant studies indicating that several species linked to LD and RF are widespread in vectors, animals, and humans across Mediterranean countries, suggesting a need for monitoring and prevention strategies.
