AI Article Synopsis
- The text discusses imaging findings in two rare CNS infections: panamebic meningoencephalitis and granulomatous amebic encephalitis.
- The brain CT for panamebic meningoencephalitis revealed nonspecific findings, with the case showing diffuse edema.
- In granulomatous amebic encephalitis, there were large arterial occlusions and MRI showed spinal cord infarctions.
Article Abstract
The imaging findings in a case of panamebic meningoencephalitis and in a case of granulomatous amebic encephalitis, two rare infections of the central nervous system caused by amebae, are presented and the world literature is reviewed. The brain CT findings in panamebic meningoencephalitis are nonspecific; our case showed diffuse edema. In the case of granulomatous amebic encephalitis, there was evidence of large arterial occlusions and MR demonstration of spinal cord infarctions.

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) burden is currently evolving with regional differences associated with complex behavioural, environmental, and genetic risk factors. The LEGACy study is a Horizon 2020-funded multi-institutional research project conducted prospectively to provide comprehensive data on the tumour biological characteristics of gastroesophageal cancer from European and LATAM countries.
Material And Methods: Treatment-naïve advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma patients were prospectively recruited in seven European and LATAM countries.

This study evaluated the association between dental infection and maxillary sinus pathology, and the influence of age, sex, type of tooth, root proximity to the sinus floor, the condition of the primary maxillary ostium, and the presence of an accessory maxillary ostium in this process. Computed Tomography scans were selected, and upper posterior teeth were evaluated for the presence of apical periodontitis (AP), bone loss with furcation involvement, and endoperiodontal lesion (EPL), subsequently, sinuses were evaluated for mucosal thickening (MT) and opacification of the maxillary sinus (OMS). Logistic regression models were constructed, and Chi-squared and Fisher's tests were applied.

Department of Clinical Laboratory, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, 87 Xiangya Road, Changsha, 410008, Hunan, China.
Background: The emergence of colistin resistance in carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is a significant public health concern, as colistin has been the last resort for treating such infections. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and molecular characteristics of colistin-resistant CRKP isolates in Central South China.
Methods: CRKP isolates from twelve hospitals in Central South China were screened for colistin resistance using broth microdilution.

Viruses have evolved to strategically exploit cellular signaling pathways to evade host immune defenses. GM-CSF signaling plays a pivotal role in regulating inflammation, activating myeloid cells, and enhancing the immune response to infections. Due to its central role in the immune system, viruses may target this pathway to further establish infection.
