Charting the Neurotropism of Human Parvovirus B19 and Encephalitis: A Systematic Review of Existing Literature of 25 Years.

Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) is an infrequent, serious, yet treatable cause of infection in immunocompromised hosts. Neurological manifestations of PVB19 are encephalitis, encephalopathy, meningitis, cerebellar ataxia, transverse myelitis, stroke, and peripheral neuropathy. The objective is to identify the exact clinical and diagnostic features specific to parvovirus B19 encephalitis for the isolation and management of the pathology.

Fusobacterium nucleatum as an Emerging Culprit in Brain Abscesses: A Narrative Synthesis of 25 Years of Clinical and Diagnostic Data.

Brain abscesses are life-threatening infections, predominantly caused by anaerobic organisms. The role of oropharyngeal microbiota, presence in dental plaque biofilms, and hematogenous spread is established in the literature. However, due to its rare occurrence, limited literature is available on its management.

Yttrium-Doped Zinc Oxide (ZnYO) Electron Transport Layers: A Pathway to Enhanced Efficiency in PbS Colloidal Quantum Dot Solar Cells.

Significant progress has been achieved in PbS colloidal quantum dot solar cells (CQDSCs) by concentrating on structural engineering, band-alignment engineering, and enhancing the interfacial functionality of colloidal quantum dots (CQDs). Nonetheless, designing a durable and efficient photovoltaic device still represents a considerable obstacle for scientists in this domain. The present work demonstrates that the photovoltaic performance of PbS CQDSCs can be increased by adding 1-5 wt % yttrium into the zinc oxide (YZO) ETL.

Comprehensive analysis of neurological disease patterns in a fragile health system in Somalia.

Neurological disorders are increasingly prevalent in developing countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. However, data regarding the epidemiology of these conditions in Somalia remain limited. This study aims to analyze the patterns of neurological diagnoses among patients admitted to the neurology department of a tertiary referral hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia.

Dynamic Tamponade as Treatment: First-in-Human Conservative Approach to Post-TAVI Annular Rupture.

Annular rupture is a rare but catastrophic complication of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), often necessitating emergent surgical intervention. In patients deemed unsuitable for surgery, alternative conservative strategies must be considered. We report the case of a 77-year-old woman with severe calcific aortic stenosis who underwent transapical TAVI using a 20 mm Sapien S3 Ultra valve.
