TL;DR: In this article, the Biological Hazard Panel is asked to give recommendations for optimising the surveillance and monitoring in humans, animals and foodstuffs and to give advice regarding methods for detection and identification of Toxoplasma from food and animals.

TL;DR: The concentration of corticosterone metabolites in the faeces of scrapie‐inoculated mice during the course of the clinical disease was determined, and a simultaneous downregulation of cerebral neuronal glucocorticoid receptors was not detectable by immunohistochemistry, indicating that increased corticosteroids can elicit their effects in mouse scrapie freely.

TL;DR: Using morphometric methods, significant changes of cortical vessels are detectable at the light and electron microscopic level and most probably represent the morphological substrate of an altered blood-brain-barrier in AIDS brains and may account for the reported hypoperfusion demonstrated in SPECT analyses.

TL;DR: In this article, a case showing similar neuropathological features in a patient with longstanding hypoparathyroidism was reported, in which one family member was diagnosed with multiple system atrophy at autopsy.

TL;DR: It is concluded that non‐standard GFAP staining protocols may enhance sensitivity and thus lead to detection of a low level of GFAP expression in tumor specimens, in which PXA is considered in the differential diagnosis.
