Purpose: Responsive neurostimulation of the centromedian nucleus of the thalamus (CM RNS) is being investigated for treatment of drug-resistant generalized epilepsy with promising results. The aim of this study is to report outcomes of seven patients with pediatric-onset drug-resistant generalized epilepsy, including both genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), who underwent treatment with bilateral CM RNS.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed for patients with drug-resistant generalized epilepsy who underwent treatment with bilateral CM RNS at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh from 2020 to 2022.

The three SDEs of CLas were expressed in citrus leaves by AuNPs-PEI mediated transient expression system, and promoted the proliferation of CLas and inhibited citrus immunity. Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most severe bacterial disease of citrus caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). CLas suppress host immune responses and promote infection by sec-dependent effectors (SDEs), thus insight into HLB pathogenesis is urgently needed to develop effective management strategies.

Introduction: Since the dawn of the new millennium, Candida species have been increasingly implicated as a cause of both healthcare-associated as well as opportunistic yeast infections, due to the widespread use of indwelling medical devices, total parenteral nutrition, systemic corticosteroids, cytotoxic chemotherapy, and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Candida tropicalis is a pathogenic Candida species associated with considerable morbidity, mortality, and drug resistance issues on a global scale.
Methodology: We report a case of a 43-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital for further management of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia.
