Cerebral syphilitic gumma is an atypical presentation of neurosyphilis, the clinical manifestations of which depend on the size and location of the lesions. It radiologically presents as enhancing nodular lesion(s) in brain parenchyma. We present a case of a patient with cerebral syphilitic gummas who had worsening neurological symptoms a few hours after initiation of anti-syphilitic antibiotic treatment. We aim to illustrate the clinical and radiological characteristics that might be helpful to clinicians when approaching the challenges they might encounter while treating neurosyphilis.

Antithrombin III deficiency and idiopathic intracranial hypertension: a case report.

Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a condition where the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid in the brain increases without a known cause. It typically affects adults but can also occur in adolescents and children, although it is less common. Numerous elements, including coagulopathy, have been documented in previous cases as potential etiological factors of IIH.

Inter-organ crosstalk, which is essential for coordinating organ function and maintaining homeostasis, is involved in multiple physiological and pathological events. Increasing evidence suggests that AD is closely associated with multiple diseases of peripheral organs, including the gut, adipose tissue, liver, and bone.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) incidence is almost double in female than male, suggesting sex-specific AD risk genes remain unknown.
Method: We designed a statistical physics approach that exploits freely available but massive evolutionary and phylogenetic coupling data on sequence variation and speciation. These couplings lead to quantifiable values for the selection pressure exerted on the genes within a population.

Background: Stroke and AD patients with gut complications often present worsened neurological outcomes. The goal of this study was to examine the role of extracellular vesicle (EV)-mediated pyroptosis in the bi-directional gut-brain axis after photothrombotic stroke (PTS) in aged 3xTg mice and wildtype (WT) controls.
Method: Twelve-month 3xTg and WT male and female mice underwent PTS using a YAG laser.

Background: Preclinical Alzheimer's disease may be linked to impaired cerebral amyloid clearance. We aim to obtain dynamic parameters of cortical and ventricular clearance of C-PIB and compare them with CSF amyloid values in a population of healthy volunteers.
Method: We evaluated 8 healthy volunteers (4 men and mean age: 64.
