Although intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) frequently develops secondary to intraparenchymal or subarachnoid hemorrhage, pure IVH-non-traumatic spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage confined to the cerebral ventricular system-is rare. Moreover, pure IVH caused by ruptured proximal aneurysm is an extremely rare but life-threatening condition. Herein, we present a case of pure IVH due to a ruptured internal carotid artery -anterior choroidal artery (ICA-AChA) aneurysm and review related literature. A 77-year-old man presenting with altered mental status was hospitalized due to a massive pure IVH with ventriculomegaly. The patient was conservatively managed because his consciousness level improved. On the following day, computed tomography angiography revealed a right ICA-AChA aneurysm embedded in the temporal lobe adjacent to the anterior part of the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle, which was consistent with the hemorrhagic origin. Coil embolization of the aneurysm was successfully performed, and the postprocedural course was uneventful. To date, only a few cases have described pure IVH caused by a ruptured proximal aneurysm. If the ruptured proximal aneurysm remains unnoticed, catastrophic rehemorrhage may occur. Aneurysm obliteration should precede the treatment of acute hydrocephalus. Neurosurgeons/neurointerventionalists must be aware about pure IVH caused by a ruptured proximal aneurysm even if it rarely occurs.

Pre-immunization of diet-induced obese male mice with inactivated pathogens increases power in a liraglutide intervention study.

Pre-immunization with inactivated antigens has been developed as an alternative to the use of 'dirty' mice, which in contrast to specific pathogen free (SPF) mice, harbour a range of pathogens. Within certain research areas, such mice are considered better models for humans than SPF mice, as they have an immune system that better mirrors human immunity. We inactivated murine adenovirus type 1 (FL), minute virus of mice, mouse hepatitis virus (A59), respirovirus muris (Sendai), Theiler's encephalomyelitis virus (GD7) and by ultraviolet irradiation.

Weight gain variation is a great challenge in diet-induced obesity studies since low-gainer animals are of limited experimental value. The inbred C57BL/6 (B6) mice are frequently used models due to their genetic homogeneity and susceptibility to diet-induced obesity (DIO). The aim of this study is to investigate if the gut microbiota (GM) influences the fraction of low weight gainers in DIO studies.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the gut microbiota of Göttingen Minipigs with metabolic syndrome and compare the effects of high-fat diets (HFD) on ovariectomized females and castrated males.
- The results showed that pigs on an HFD gained more weight, had higher plasma insulin and dyslipidemia, while their gut microbiota composition significantly changed compared to those on a standard chow diet.
- The findings indicate that high-fat diets led to reduced beneficial gut metabolites and altered gene expression in the liver and adipose tissue, mirroring conditions found in human obesity and insulin resistance.

Laboratory mice live in specific pathogen-free (SPF) conditions, resulting in an immature immune system comparable to that of newborns rather than adult humans or mice from pet shops. This condition may compromise their translational value. Reintroducing pathogens would lead to the uncontrolled spread of infections and associated diseases, so research facilities should seek safer alternatives.

Article Synopsis
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) affects around 0.3% of people globally, with increasing incidence linked to factors like diet, gut microbiota, genetics, and immune response.
- The study investigated the effects of different protein sources—casein versus red meat—on colitis in Abcb1a-deficient mice, assessing how diet and genetics influence gut inflammation and microbiome compositions.
- Results indicated that the lack of the Abcb1a transporter and dietary influences led to significant changes in immune responses and gut microbiota compared to normal mice, highlighting the role of these factors in IBD pathology.
