Scrub typhus association with autoimmune biomarkers and clinical implications.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis

Department of Internal Medicine, Jeonbuk National University Medical School, Jeonju, Republic of Korea.
Background: Scrub typhus, a disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, triggers systemic vasculitis and is prevalent in Eastern and Southern Asia. This study aimed to uncover the relationship between scrub typhus and autoimmune responses, focusing on antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) and the implications of elevated ANA titers during infection.
Method: Data from a total of 139 patients diagnosed with scrub typhus and 30 healthy controls were retrospectively analyzed through serum samples to assess the levels of ANAs and related autoantibodies.
Urinary Endotrophin and Long-term Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Transplant Direct
March 2024
Department of Nephrology, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark.
Background: Kidney fibrosis is a suggested cause of kidney failure and premature mortality. Because collagen type VI is closely linked to kidney fibrosis, we aimed to evaluate whether urinary endotrophin, a collagen type VI fragment, is associated with graft failure and mortality among kidney transplant recipients (KTR).
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, KTR with a functioning graft ≥1-y posttransplantation were recruited; 24-h urinary endotrophin excretion was measured using an ELISA method.
A rare case of double pituitary prolactinomas: the diagnostic application of intraoperative ultrasonography and DNA methylation markers.

The aim of this study is to describe the management and evolution of a patient with the rare condition of double lactotroph tumors and assess the role of intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS) for their detection and methylation-based liquid biopsy for their diagnosis and monitoring. A 29-year-old woman diagnosed with double lactotroph tumors through hormonal and MRI workup underwent surgical resection due to cabergoline intolerance. To detect a tumor missing through visual inspection, IOUS was performed.

January 2025
Department of Radiology, the Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Southwest Medical University.
Background: With the widespread use of lumbar pedicle screws for internal fixation, the morphology of the screws and the surrounding tissues should be evaluated. The metal artifact reduction (MAR) technique can reduce the artifacts caused by pedicle screws, improve the quality of computed tomography (CT) images after pedicle fixation, and provide more imaging information to the clinic.
Purpose: To explore whether the MAR+ method, a projection-based algorithm for correcting metal artifacts through multiple iterative operations, can reduce metal artifacts and have an impact on the structure of the surrounding metal.
Micromirror technology is one of the current research hotspots. In this work, what we believe to be a novel electrostatic 2-DOF micromirror structure with double-biased torsional axes is proposed. By introducing internal resonance, synchronous motions of the two axes with a locked frequency ratio under a single driving force were achieved within a wide frequency range.
