Abstract Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a rare but important differential diagnosis in patients with impaired consciousness. Here, we describe a case of TBM in an 83‐year‐old Japanese woman who presented to a local hospital with fever and decrea

The decay $K^+\to\pi^+\nu\bar{\nu}$, with a very precisely predicted branching ratio of less than $10^{-10}$, is among the best processes to reveal indirect effects of new physics. The NA62 experiment at CERN SPS is designed to study the $K^+\to\pi^+

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are often detected in patients undergoing treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. This clinical status is thought to represent NTM disease, contamination, or colonization, but discriminating between these three conditi

Two theoretically clean K → πν ν decays that are sensitive to Vtd are discussed. The E787 group at Brookhaven National Laboratory recently reported two events at a branching ratio of B(K + → π + ν ν ) = 1.57 −0.82 1.75 × 10−10. The goa

Asthma, a family of airway disorders characterized by airway inflammation, has an increasing incidence worldwide. Platelet-activating factor (PAF) may play a role in the pathophysiology of asthma. Its proinflammatory actions are antagonized by PAF ac
