[Expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of neurobrucellosis (2025 edition)].
Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi
February 2025
Neurobrucellosis is a neurological disorder caused by Brucella infection. It typically occurs as part of the multisystem involvement of brucellosis, or may also present as brucellosis. The existing clinical practice guidelines and expert consensus on human brucellosis are outdated and provide limited guidance specific to the diagnosis and management of neurobrucellosis, failing to meet the evolving needs of healthcare providers and patients.

Introduction: The return of foreign fighters's children whose parents joined the so called « islamic state » in the Iraq-Syrian area, had been a very controversial topic. Since 2017, a national procedure in France has been designed to coordinate their care, including a systematic pediatric medical assessment.
Methods: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the prevalence rate of diseases diagnosed at their arrival in France.

Infection with HIV is associated with dysregulated CD4 T cell responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and increased risk of developing tuberculosis. Mtb-specific CD4 T cells in people with HIV have diminished Th1 cytokine production capacity, thus we utilized a flow cytometry-based assay to measure CD40L expression by Mtb-specific CD4 T cells in a cytokine-independent manner. We evaluated the frequency and phenotype of Mtb-specific CD4 responses in Kenyan adults with latent Mtb infection and found that the majority of Mtb-specific CD4 T cells expressed CD40L in the absence of IFN-γ, regardless of HIV infection status.

Biomarker research characterising the effect of anti-tuberculosis (TB) chemotherapy on systemic body response is still limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate fluctuations in circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA (ccf-mtDNA) and circulating cell-free nuclear DNA (ccf-nDNA) copy number (CN) in blood plasma of patients with drug-susceptible TB (DS-TB) and to decipher factors related to these fluctuations. The results showed considerable changes in ccf-mtDNA CN in plasma samples before drug intake and 2 and 6 h afterwards, with high inter patient variability at each time point.

Future Sci OA
December 2025
Gastroenterology Department, La Rabta Hospital, Tunis, Tunisia.
Background: Colonic stenosis in Crohn's disease (CD) is uncommon, and data on surgery-free survival are limited. This study aimed to determine surgery-free survival rates and identify associated factors.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from 2003 to 2022, including patients with CD complicated by colonic stenosis.
