Introduction: Breaking the chain of transmission of an infectious disease pathogen is a major public health priority. The challenges of understanding, describing and predicting the transmission dynamics of infections have led to a wide range of mathematical, statistical and biological research problems. Advances in diagnostic laboratory procedures with the ability to test multiple pathogens simultaneously mean that co-infections are increasingly being detected, yet little is known about the impact of co-infections in shaping the course of an infection, infectivity, and pathogen replication rate.

Background/aim: Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma worldwide. Patients can have a wide range of clinical features and behavior which does not necessarily correlate to histologic grade or Ki-67 proliferation index. We hypothesized that patients with low grade but high proliferative index (LG/HP) FL have a more aggressive disease course.

Purpose: Due to biological heterogeneity of breast carcinoma, predicting the individual response to neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) is complex. Consequently, there are no comprehensive, generally accepted practices to guide post-treatment follow-up. We present clinical and histopathological criteria to advance the prediction of disease outcome in NA-treated breast cancer.

Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are angiographically occult vascular lesions that present with a variety of neurological symptoms, including seizures, features of raised intracranial pressure and focal neurological deficits. In extremely rare circumstances, CCMs have presented with concomitant brain abscess formation. To date, five cases have previously been reported, the majority of which have affected patients aged 16 years or older.

Absence of the ductus arteriosus (DA) is common in tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), occurring in up to 30% of cases. Yet, the clinical course and fetal echocardiographic features are not well described, limiting prenatal counseling. This study examines the fetal echocardiographic characteristics and perinatal outcomes in children with TOF absent DA (TOF/ADA), comparing them to those with a DA (TOF/DA).
