NaHS modulates astrocytic EAAT2 expression to impact SNI-induced neuropathic pain and depressive-like behaviors by Man-Man Qi, Heng-Yue Peng, Tian-Ge Zhang, Yan Li, Meng-Ya Gao, Wen-Bo Sun, Xu-Peng Wang

“…The study further demonstrates NaHS’s potential in reducing glutamate levels in the spinal cord and the discharge frequency of neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex hindlimb region (S1HL) brain area, suggesting a novel therapeutic approach for neuropathic pain through the modulation of astrocyte function and EAAT2 expression.…”

Contribution of Imaging in Diagnosis of Primitive Cyst Hydatid in Unusual Localization: Pleura—A Report of Two Cases by Fatima Zahra Mrabet, Jihane Achrane, Yassir Sabri, Fatima Ezzahra El Hassani, Sanaa Hammi, Jamal Eddine Bourkadi

“…Cyst hydatid may affect all parts of the human body like the heart, the bone marrow, the eye, the brain, the kidney, and the spermatic cord. Humans can become infested by accidentally ingesting the eggs that are passed in the feces from definitive hosts (usually a canid, such as a wolf, fox, or dog). …”
