Article Abstract
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) may develop in follicular lymphoma patients treated with bendamustine-rituximab. In this report, treatment with pembrolizumab successfully inhibited the clinical progression of PML by promoting radiologically demonstrated immune restoration inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), allowing complete clearance of the virus. These findings may further support the use of pembrolizumab in PML with special consideration for the potential occurrence of IRIS.

The changing landscape of primary autoimmune neuropathies.

Autoimmune neuropathies, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), are rare, disabling disorders. Diagnosis, follow-up and treatment of autoimmune neuropathies rely almost exclusively on clinical parameters, and the available therapies, such as intravenous immunoglobulins and corticosteroids, date from >30 years ago. The lack of therapeutic progress in autoimmune neuropathies has resulted from a combination of limited understanding of their pathophysiology, disease heterogeneity and challenges in trial design.

Department of Ophthalmology, Saitama Medical University Faculty of Medicine, 38 Moro-Hongo Moroyama-machi, Iruma-gun, Saitama, 350-0495, Japan.
Purpose: To report a rare case of bilateral idiopathic multifocal retinal pigment epithelial detachments (imfPEDs) and to describe the long-term morphological and functional changes observed over a 16-year follow-up period.
Methods: A 49-year-old woman was diagnosed with imfPEDs based on multimodal imaging, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography (FA), and fundus photography. Full-field electroretinograms (ffERGs) and multifocal ERGs (mfERGs) were recorded to assess retinal function.
The clinical features, risk factors and outcomes of polyomavirus encephalitis after allogeneic haematological stem cell transplantation.

Polyomavirus (PyV) encephalitis is a rare but life-threatening opportunistic infection linked to progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy (PML). We analysed 54 patients diagnosed with PyV encephalitis after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in a 1:4 case-control retrospective cohort study. Median time to diagnosis was 77 days post-HSCT, with seizures, headache and motor dysfunction as the most common presenting symptoms.

Department of Dermatology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Anhui Medical University, Hefei, Anhui, 230032, People's Republic of China.
Background: Actinic keratosis (AK), a UV-induced precancerous skin condition potentially progressing to cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) with undefined mechanisms, was analyzed for neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)-related biomarkers to identify key clinical targets.
Methods: Transcriptomic profiles of AK retrieved from the GEO database were analyzed using the "limma" package to screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which were intersected with a curated NETs-related gene set to extract differentially expressed NETs-related genes (DE-NRGs). Functional enrichment analyses via Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) annotations identified enriched biological processes and pathways.
Multisystem fatal metastasis of large cell lung carcinoma (LCLC) masquerading as acute cerebral infarction: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)

Key Laboratory of Evidence Science, China University of Political Science and Law, Ministry of Education, Beijing, China.
Rationale: Large cell lung carcinoma (LCLC) is a rare undifferentiated malignant epithelial tumor of the lung. The diagnostic complexity of LCLC stems from its pronounced histological heterogeneity and diverse clinical presentation, particularly when extrapulmonary manifestations constitute the initial disease presentation, complicating early detection.
Patient Concerns: A 58-year-old smoker presented with acute-onset dizziness, lethargy, and communication difficulties lasting 1 day.
