Association between seropositivity and the hemoglobin A1c/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio in U.S. adults: evidence from NHANES.

Background: () infection is associated with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. This study investigates the association between seropositivity and the newly proposed hemoglobin A1c/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (HbA1c/HDL-C ratio) in a nationally representative U.S.

Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor-like pilocytic astrocytoma: A case report.

Rationale: Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) typically shows biphasic pattern with a mixture of loose microcystic and compact regions, in which it is not uncommon to see heterogeneous morphology. However, there has not been reported in the literatures of the PA type that shows similarity to dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT) in both histological morphology and immunophenotype.

Patient Concerns: The present study described a case of PA affecting the right temporal-occipital lobe in a 22-year-old male patient.
