Persistent Cryptococcal Brain Infection despite Prolonged Immunorecovery in an HIV-Positive Patient by Tom Wingfield, Jo Baxter, Amit Herwadkar, Daniel du Plessis, Tom J. Blanchard, F. Javier Vilar, Anoop Varma

“…Although initially treated for relapsing cryptococcal immune reconstitution syndrome, a brain biopsy taken 17 months after initial presentation showed budding Cryptococci. Conclusion. This unusually protracted case highlights the difficulties in differentiating relapsing cryptococcal meningitis from immune reconstitution and raises questions concerning the optimum timing of initiation of combined antiretroviral therapy in such patients.…”

High-Temperature Superconductors and Related Compounds Studied by Mössbauer Spectroscopy by E. Kuzmann, Z. Homonnay, S. Nagy, M. Gál, A. Vértes

“…The differences were interpreted in connection with the suppression of superconductivity (by hole filling or hybridization of Pr, Cu and O states) in the Pr-containing compound. The unusually high isomer shift value observed in the Pr-containing material can give evidence for the charge transfer mechanism between the Cu(1) chains and the Cu(2) planes and for its role in the suppression of superconductivity.…”
