TL;DR: An approximately 1-year-old domestic rabbit showed severe neurologic signs with circling and turning somersaults and a nonsuppurative meningoencephalitis with neuronal cell necrosis and numerous intranuclear inclusion bodies in neurons and glial cells was found.

TL;DR: In vitro BrdU labeling is a useful alternative to Ki-67 immunolabeling of human brain tumor specimens and by such determination of tumor proliferation, it might be possible to design a more adequate postoperative therapy tailored to patients individually.

TL;DR: Considerable international variation in aetiological subtypes of human transmissible spongiform encephalopathies was evident over the observation period, with the exception of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and iatrogenic Creutzfelder disease in France and the United Kingdom, which persisted across time.

TL;DR: A 67‐year‐old man presented with acute painful sensory loss, areflexia, ataxia, urinary retention, and severe constipation and became unable to walk within 2 weeks and died suddenly 5 weeks after the onset of symptoms, suggesting a novel pathogenetic mechanism of immune‐mediated human ganglion cell damage comparable to mechanisms operating in polymy‐ositis.

TL;DR: In contrast to HIV‐specific neuropathology, various unspecific nervous tissue syndromes do not consistently exhibit the local presence of HIV and thus are designated HIV associated or possibly HIV induced lesions: lymphocytic meningitis, vacuolar myelopathy, multifocal vacUolar leukoencephalopathy, and diffuse poliodystrophy.
