Cryptococcus neoformans Meningoencephalitis in an Immunocompetent Patient after COVID-19 Infection by Hebah Ghanem, Geetha Sivasubramanian

“…This case adds to the growing knowledge of emerging secondary infectious complications including opportunistic pathogens after SARS-CoV-2 infection. While few reports allude to depressed T-cell function and lymphopenia due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, further studies are needed to evaluate the effects of this infection and its treatment on the immune system and its contribution to the emergence of secondary opportunistic infections.…”

Determinants of Vessel Targeting in Vasculitis by Gary S. Hoffman

“…The reader is invited to reassess; (1) whether the aorta is indeed a single homogeneous structure, and (2) whether the initial stage of aortitis (and indeed other diseases considered “autoimmune”) may be primarily due to acquired alterations of substrate, that influence unique immune profiles, which by themselves may not be pathogenic. Disease susceptibility and patterns are influenced by many factors that are inborn and acquired. …”

PRIMARY MENINGOENCEPHALITIS CAUSED BY NAEGLERIA FOWLERI: A MINI REVIEW by Hassan Bin-Asif et al

“…FLA other than N. fowleri such as Acanthamoeba and Balamuthia species are also harmful because they are vectors of many bacterial pathogens including Vibrio, Pseudomonas, Legionella, Enterobacter and Mycobacterium species which help them to feed and colonize in environments, thus contributing to their pathogenesis and transferability to their hosts. …”

Noncoding RNA in the Regulation of Acute Aortic Dissection: From Profile to Mechanism by Ruibin Wei, Yingqing Feng

“…As Nienaber reported, aortic dissection is most common in people 65–75 years old and has an incidence of 35 cases per 100,000 people per year in this population. Many pathogenic factors are involved in aortic dissection, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, and abnormality of the aortic intima caused by genetic variation. …”

Interaction between 𝛼-Synuclein and Other Proteins in Neurodegenerative Disorders by Kurt A. Jellinger

“…The synergistic effects of α-synuclein, hyperphosphorylated tau, amyloid-β, and other pathologic proteins, and the underlying molecular pathogenic mechanisms, including induction and spread of protein aggregates, are critically reviewed, suggesting a dualism or triad of neurodegeneration in protein-misfolding disorders, although the etiology of most of these processes is still mysterious.…”

Broad Spectrum Anti-Quorum Sensing Activity of Tannin-Rich Crude Extracts of Indian Medicinal Plants by Varsha Shukla, Zarine Bhathena

“…Quorum sensing (QS) mechanisms have been demonstrated to have significance in expression of pathogenicity in infectious bacteria. In Gram negative bacteria the autoinducer molecules that mediate QS are acyl homoserine lactones (AHL) and in Gram positive bacteria they are peptides called autoinducing peptides (AIP). …”
