TLDR
An unusual case of an older patient with dementia with recent onset of seizures in the context of primary isolated intraventricular haemorrhage, diagnosed as chronic neurobrucellosis is described.Abstract:
Brucellosis is the most commonly reported zoonosis. Nervous system participation can occur at any stage of the disease either in acute or subacute or chronic form. Isolated nervous system involvement or neurobrucellosis is a relatively rare form of the disease. We describe an unusual case of an older patient with dementia with recent onset of seizures in the context of primary isolated intraventricular haemorrhage, diagnosed as chronic neurobrucellosis.read more

Sarcopenia as a predictor of mortality in women with breast cancer: a meta-analysis and systematic review.
TL;DR: It is found that sarc Openia is a risk factor for mortality among female early breast cancer patients and it is imperative that more research into specific interventions aimed at treating sarcopenia be conducted in the near future in order to provide evidence which could lead to decreased mortality rates in Breast cancer patients.
