Diagnostic utility of magnetic resonance imaging in autoimmune encephalitis: prognostic implications.

Background: The role of imaging in autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) remains unclear, and there are limited data on the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose, treat, or prognosticate AIE.
Purpose: To evaluate whether MRI is a diagnostic and prognostic marker for AIE and assess its efficacy in distinguishing between various AIE subtypes.
Material And Methods: We analyzed data from 96 AIE patients from our prospective autoimmune registry.
Objective: We previously found that per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mixture exposure is inversely associated with SARS-CoV-2 IgG (IgG) antibody levels in pregnant individuals. Here, we aim to identify metabolites mediating this relationship to elucidate the underlying biological pathways.
Methods: We included 59 pregnant participants from a US-based pregnancy cohort.
Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are organized immune cell aggregates that arise in chronic inflammatory conditions. In cancer, TLS are associated with better prognosis and enhanced response to immunotherapy, making these structures attractive therapeutic targets. However, the mechanisms regulating TLS formation and maintenance in cancer are incompletely understood.

As the tumor grows, GBM cells change the composition and architecture of the neural extracellular matrix (ECM), affecting the mobility, survival, and function of immune cells such as tumor-associated microglia and infiltrated macrophages (TAMs). We have previously described the unique expression of the ECM protein EFEMP1/fibulin-3 in GBM compared to normal brain and demonstrated that this secreted protein promotes the growth of the GBM stem cell (GSC) population.

BKV strains fall into four distinct genotypes (BKV-I, -II, -III, and -IV) with more than 80% of individuals are seropositive against BKV-I genotype, while the seroprevalence of the other four genotypes is lower. PyVAN and PyVHC occurs in immunosuppressed (e.
