ST2 levels and neurodegenerative diseases: is this a significant relation?
Ann Med Surg (Lond). 2024 Mar 12;86(5):2812-2817. doi: 10.1097/MS9.0000000000001939. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTInterleukin-33 (IL-33), belonging to the interleukin-1 cytokine family, has a decoy receptor soluble ST2 (sST2). IL-33 is found in oligodendrocytes and astrocytes and is involved in central nervous system healing and repair, whereas ST2 is found in microglia and astrocytes. Some studies have found a link between changes in the IL-33/ST2 pathway and neurodegenerative disorders. This review article investigates the relationship between the interleukin-33 (IL-33)/ST2 pathway and neurodegenerative disorders. It was...

Fibrocartilaginous embolism: a rare cause of cervical spine infarction
CONCLUSION: When a practitioner suspects that a patient may have fibrocartilaginous embolism (FCE), they should take the patient's history and do a neurological examination. An MRI is required since it is thought to be the most accurate method of diagnosing FCE.PMID:38694385 | PMC:PMC11060198 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000002005 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Brentuximab-induced pneumonitis and organizing pneumonia: a case report with literiture review
CONCLUSION: Physicians must have a high index of suspicion for BV-induced pneumonitis, hence, early recognition with subsequent holding of the causative agent, initiation of immunosuppression with steroids, and occasionally steroid-sparing medications, prevent an otherwise fatal outcome.PMID:38694384 | PMC:PMC11060267 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001878 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Evaluation of non-invasive diagnostic tools for diarrhea: a systematic review of point-of-care tests and biomarkers
CONCLUSION: PCR proved the ideal POC test for rapid diarrhea diagnosis, while the procalcitonin biomarker helps differentiate inflammatory from non-inflammatory diarrhea. Other reviewed tools also demonstrated promising diagnostic performance, though improvements in sensitivity, specificity, and usability are still needed.PMID:38694383 | PMC:PMC11060204 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001946 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Anti-coagulants-induced intracranial hemorrhage managed with decompressive craniectomy: a case report of lesson learned
CONCLUSION: In the background of the low prevalence of OACs-induced ICH, there is an absence of a robust guiding treatment protocol. Furthermore, there exist minimal reported cases which underwent surgical intervention and resulted in a good prognosis.PMID:38694382 | PMC:PMC11060273 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001996 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Accuracy prediction of Goodsall's rule for anal fistulas of crypotogladular origin, is still standing?
CONCLUSION: Goodsall's rule was accurate in 74.75% of anal fistulas. It was more accurate for posterior long fistulas and anterior short and superficial fistulas. Patients with long (>3 cm) anterior fistulas defied Goodsall's rule when they found to have fistulas tracking to a midline anterior origin. Further, short posterior fistulas were found to open more commonly in a direct radial course rather to midline posteriorly.PMID:38694374 | PMC:PMC11060315 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001554 (Source: Annals of Medicine)
