Cryptococcal infection of central nervous system commonly involves meningitis or meningoencephalitis, but rarely mimics inflammatory myelitis. We present short segment myelitis as a dominant manifestation caused by Cryptococcus neoformans in a patient with nephrotic syndrome under immunosuppressive therapy. This case report highlights Cryptococcus neoformans as a potential etiological factor for short segment myelitis in immunocompromised hosts.

Near-miss traffic risk estimation using Extreme Value Theory (EVT) models within a real-time framework offers a promising alternative to traditional historical crash-based methods. However, current approaches often lack comprehensive analysis that integrates diverse roadway geometries, crash patterns, and two-dimensional (2D) vehicle dynamics, limiting both their accuracy and generalizability. This study addresses these gaps by employing a high-fidelity, 2D time-to-collision (TTC) near-miss indicator derived from autonomous vehicle (AV) sensor data.

Spondylo-thoracic dysplasia (STD) is a set of rare congenital abnormalities involving the vertebrae and thorax, leading to significant morbidity and mortality due to respiratory insufficiency and associated anomalies. Clinically, neonates present with scoliosis, vertebral segmentation defects, and severe respiratory compromise, resulting in early neonatal death. These children have a unique patho-anatomy of volume depletion deformity of the thorax, resulting in thoracic insufficiency.

Zinner syndrome is an extremely uncommon congenital anomaly of the male urogenital tract. It is attributed to an embryological anomaly that arises in the distal segment of the mesonephric or Wolffian duct. It is the inadequate migration of the ureteric bud that contributes to the failure of differentiation of the metanephric blastema, which ultimately results in ipsilateral renal agenesis and atresia of the ejaculatory duct.

With the increase in international migration, the need for an equitable healthcare system in Canada is increasing. The current biomedical model of healthcare is constructed largely in the Eurocentric tradition of medicine, which often disregards the diverse health perspectives of Canada's racialized immigrant older adults. As a result, current healthcare approaches (adopted in the US and Canada) fall short in addressing the health needs of a considerable segment of the population, impeding their ability to access healthcare services.

Background: Primary luminal breast cancer cells lose their identity rapidly in standard tissue culture, which is problematic for testing hormone interventions and molecular pathways specific to the luminal subtype. Breast cancer organoids are thought to retain tumor characteristics better, but long-term viability of luminal-subtype cases is a persistent challenge. Our goal was to adapt short-term organoids of luminal breast cancer for parallel testing of genetic and pharmacologic perturbations.
