Department of Anesthesiology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63144, USA.
Objective: To review the current published literature on the use of procalcitonin as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in adult patients with meningitis.
Methods: We conducted a PubMed search to identify all relevant publications regarding the diagnostic and prognostic value of serum procalcitonin in patients with a known or suspected central nervous system infection. We also reviewed the bibliographies of all identified manuscripts in an attempt to identify additional relevant references.
Topography of generalized periodic epileptiform discharges in postanoxic nonconvulsive status epilepticus.
Epilepsia Open
December 2017
We studied slow (≤2.5 Hz) nonevolving generalized periodic epileptiform discharges (GPEDs) in the electroencephalogram (EEG) of comatose patients after cardiac arrest (CA) in search of evidence that could assist early diagnosis of possible hypoxic nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) and its differentiation from terminal brain anoxia (BA), which can present with a similar EEG pattern. We investigated the topography of the GPEDs in the first post-CA EEGs of 13 patients, using voltage-mapping, and compared findings between two patients with NCSE and GPEDs > 2.

Article Synopsis
- Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a common skin infection caused by a poxvirus, primarily affecting children, sexually active adults, and those with weakened immune systems.
- The infection presents as painless, flesh-colored bumps that can appear on various body parts, particularly in the genital area for adults and on the torso and face for children.
- Although MC usually resolves on its own, treatments are often recommended to prevent complications like scarring and spreading; various unapproved methods exist, with imiquimod emerging as a promising topical treatment for the infection.

GemC1 controls multiciliogenesis in the airway epithelium.

Multiciliated cells are terminally differentiated, post-mitotic cells that form hundreds of motile cilia on their apical surface. Defects in multiciliated cells lead to disease, including mucociliary clearance disorders that result from ciliated cell disfunction in airways. The pathway controlling multiciliogenesis, however, remains poorly characterized.
