PM vehicle was able to deliver MP to improve its pharmacokinetic profile in plasma and SC with higher expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-x(L) at both mRNA and protein levels.
A 61-year-old man with myasthenia gravis who previously underwent post-thymectomy radiotherapy for a metastatic thymoma presented with altered mental status. Examination revealed papilledema and frontoexecutive dysfunction.Brain MRI disclosed rim-enhancing lesions with the eccentric target sign pathognomonic for neurotoxoplasmosis, 1 supported by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (figure 1). Brain biopsy confirmed the presence of Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites (figure 2). Absent B cells, low CD4 + and CD8 + counts, hypogammaglobulinemia, and a HIV-negative status led to the diagnosis of Good syndrome. Treatment with pyrimethamine-clindamycin resulted in mild improvement.Neurotoxoplasmosis is a rare opportunistic infection in HIV-negative patients with thymoma. 2 Early recognition and prompt immunologic workup are warranted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
