Article Abstract
We describe a rare and lethal case of arginase deficiency in a 2-day-old female infant with encephalopathy and cerebral edema. The levels of glutamine and arginine but not ammonia were markedly elevated, lending support to the "glutamine hypothesis" as the mechanism of cerebral edema in urea cycle defects.

Recent studies have shown that the glymphatic system plays a crucial role in driving hyperacute edema after ischemic stroke. This has sparked interest in understanding how this system changes in later phases of ischemic stroke. In this study, we utilized cisternal contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) and immunofluorescence staining to investigate glymphatic system alterations at subacute and chronic phases of ischemic stroke.

Epithelioid glioblastoma (eGBM) is a rare subtype of glioblastoma, generally associated with a poorer prognosis than conventional GBM despite maximum resection and standard chemoradiotherapy. Here, we report a case of a 78-year-old man who presented with left hemiplegia and a well-circumscribed right frontal lobe lesion on imaging, initially suspected to be a metastatic brain tumor. Surgical resection revealed a firm, clearly demarcated mass.

ROSAH (retinal dystrophy, optic nerve edema, splenomegaly, anhidrosis, and headache) syndrome is a rare genetic disease caused by variants in alpha-kinase 1 (ALPK1) resulting in downstream pro-inflammatory signaling mediated by the TIFA/TRAF6/NF-κB pathway. Here, we report the design of an ALPK1 inhibitor, DF-003, with pharmacokinetic properties suitable for daily oral dosing. In biochemical assays, DF-003 potently inhibits human ALPK1 (IC = 1.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of microvessel density (MVD), assessed by CD34 immunohistochemistry (IHC), and its correlation with radiological features and bevacizumab (BEV) treatment efficacy in newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 41 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. MVD was quantified using CD34 IHC, and patients were stratified into low and high MVD groups according to the cutoff value determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis (sensitivity, 76.
Acute necrotizing encephalopathy in a young adult triggered by adenovirus: a rare etiology of a devastating neurological syndrome.

Background: Acute necrotizing encephalopathy is a rare but severe neurological disorder characterized by rapid onset of fever, altered mental status, seizures, and multifocal brain lesions, particularly involving the thalami and brainstem. Often triggered by viral infections, its pathogenesis involves a hyperinflammatory response, resulting in blood-brain barrier disruption and necrosis of neural tissue. While influenza and herpesviruses are common etiological agents, adenovirus is a less frequently reported cause.
