    Abstract Rationale: Epstein-Barr virus-associated smooth muscle tumors (EBV-SMT) are rare, virally-induced malignancies that occur almost exclusively in immunocompromised individuals. We report a very rare case of a dura-based EBV-SMT with superimposed local cryptococcal infection.
    Patient concerns: An adult male with a history of untreated acquired immunodeficiency syndrome presented to our hospital with worsening headaches, diarrhea, and diffuse myalgias.
    Diagnoses: Blood cultures were positive for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Cryptococcus neoformans serum antigen. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed 2 adjacent enhancing masses in the right temporal lobe, perilesional edema, and mass effect of the right lateral ventricle. Histological examination and immunohistochemical stains of the surgical specimen were consistent with EBV-SMT. Cryptococcus organisms were identified within the neoplasm.
    Interventions: The patient underwent complete tumor resection, received an extended course of amphotericin and flucytosine, and was restarted on antiretroviral therapy.
    Outcomes: The patient was discharged from the hospital with no focal neurological deficits.
    Lessons: Epstein-Barr virus associated smooth muscle tumors are rare malignancies that occur in immunocompromised patients. Prognosis is largely dependent on immune reconstitution and treatment of concomitant infections.

    Abstract Research in neuroscience relies heavily upon postmortem human brain tissue. Cerebellar granular layer autolysis (GLA) is a surrogate marker for the quality of such tissue and suitability for molecular analysis. GLA is associated with reduced brain tissue pH. The aim of this study was to assess correlation of GLA with premortem systemic acid-base status. This is a retrospective study in which 62 consecutive adult autopsy cases were included. Sections of cerebellum were reviewed microscopically for presence of GLA. Autolysis was graded as negative, grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3. Medical records were reviewed for arterial blood gas analysis. Postmortem interval was recorded. 23 of 62 cases showed GLA. Of the 23 patients with autolysis, 22 were acidotic and 1 was alkalotic. Of these 23 cases, 15 had metabolic acidosis, 4 had respiratory acidosis, 3 had combined acidosis and 1 had respiratory alkalosis. There was no statistically significant difference in postmortem interval between the two groups. 10 cases with grade 3 autolysis had mean pH of 7.13, 7 cases with grade 2 autolysis had mean pH of 7.23 and in 6 cases with grade 1 autolysis the mean pH was 7.2. Overall, the mean pH in patients with GLA was 7.19, and in the non-autolytic cases the mean pH was 7.28 (P < 0.05). There was no correlation between the degree of acidosis and severity of autolysis. GLA is associated with premortem systemic acidosis, and premortem systemic alkalosis is associated with the absence of GLA. Premortem acid-base status may serve as an additional quality indicator for assessment of tissue for research.

    Abstract There is a need to develop food processing technologies with enhanced antimicrobial capacity against foodborne pathogens. While considering the challenges of adequate inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms in different food matrices, the emerging technologies are also expected to be sustainable and have a minimum impact on food quality and nutrients. Synergistic combinations of food processing technologies and food‐grade compounds have a great potential to address these needs. During these combined treatments, food processes directly or indirectly interact with added chemicals, intensifying the overall antimicrobial effect. This review provides an overview of the combinations of different thermal or nonthermal processes with a variety of food‐grade compounds that show synergistic antimicrobial effect against pathogenic microorganisms in foods and model systems. Further, we summarize the underlying mechanisms for representative combined treatments that are responsible for the enhanced microbial inactivation. Finally, regulatory issues and challenges for further development and technical transfer of these new approaches at the industrial level are also discussed.

    Abstract Central nervous system (CNS) relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is associated with a poor prognosis. However, prophylactic measures, including intrathecal (IT) methotrexate, reduce the incidence of CNS relapse in these patients considerably. Unfortunately, IT methotrexate can cause several neurologic complications, including transverse myelopathy; ie, the development of isolated spinal cord dysfunction over hours or days following the IT infusion of methotrexate, but in the absence of a compressive lesion. Transverse myelopathy following IT methotrexate is a well-established clinical phenomenon, but the histologic features have been described only very rarely. We report the autopsy findings from a 31-year-old man with a history of T-cell ALL who received prophylactic IT methotrexate in anticipation of a bone marrow transplant. Microscopic examination showed transverse necrosis of the thoracic cord, with massive infiltration by macrophages and lymphocytes, and perivascular lymphocytic infiltrates. There was cavitary necrosis of cervical and lumbar spinal cord involving the entire gray matter and focal white matter, as well as extensive subpial vacuolar degeneration of the dorsal and lateral columns.
