Several viral, bacterial, and parasitic diseases have been associated with cognitive function and neuropsychiatric outcomes in humans, including human T-cell lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1). In this study, we sought to further generalize previously reported associations of cognitive function and depression with HTLV-1 seropositivity and serointensity using a community-based sample of adults aged approximately 40 to 70 years (mean = 55.3 years) from the United Kingdom. In this sample, the results of adjusted linear regression models showed no associations of HTLV-1 seropositivity or serointensity with reasoning, pairs-matching, or reaction-time cognitive tasks or with depression. In addition, neither age, sex, educational attainment, nor income moderated associations of HTLV-1 seropositivity or serointensity with cognitive function or depression. In this middle-aged to older middle-aged adult community sample, HTLV-1 seropositivity and serointensity do not appear to be associated with reasoning, pairs-matching, and reaction-time tasks or with depression.

Abstract Intracranial myxoid mesenchymal tumors (IMMT) carrying an EWSR1-CREB gene family fusion are extremely rare and have only been identified in ten relatively recent reported cases. There is some question as to whether this is a novel entity, or a myxoid variant of angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH), given certain histopathological similarities. Despite these similarities, the increasing number of cases reported appear to demonstrate clear histological differences that indicate IMMTs are a distinct and novel entity. Previous reports have focused on histological analysis but have lacked detailed long-term clinical follow-up and recommendations regarding treatment approach. In this case, we describe a 48-year-old female who presented with a left intraventricular mass that was identified histologically as an IMMT with an EWSR1-ATF1 gene fusion. Following initial resection, the tumor demonstrated local recurrence. Repeat resection was performed followed by immediate demonstration of local, as well as distant, tumor recurrence. Subsequent histological analysis of the tumor demonstrated a myxoid mesenchymal tumor clearly distinct from AFH. Fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy was administered following the second resection and tumor control was achieved at 1 year. This case is particularly remarkable as it is only the second reported IMMT case to occur in a middle-aged adult, with all other cases occurring in children or young adults. The two middle-aged adult cases share striking similarities in clinical presentation, including a history of breast cancer. Our findings indicate that an intracranial myxoid mesenchymal tumor is a novel and rare entity that may demonstrate rapid local and distant recurrence. Given the aggressive recurrence seen with the presented case, we recommend the treatment plan to be surgical resection followed by adjuvant radiation therapy to maintain tumor control.

Effects Of Aging

This work examined the effects of age on salt appetite measured in the form of daily saline (i.e., 0.3 M NaCl) drinking in response to administration of deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA; 5 mg/kg body wt) using young (4 mo), “middle-aged” adult (12 mo), and old (30 mo) male Brown Norway rats. Water and sodium intakes, excretions, and balances were determined daily. The salt appetite response was age dependent with “middle-aged” rats ingesting the most saline solution followed in order by young and then old rats. While old rats drank the least saline solution, the amounts of saline ingested still were copious and comprise an unambiguous demonstration of salt appetite in old rats. Middle-aged rats had the highest saline preference ratios of the groups under baseline conditions and throughout testing consistent with an increased avidity for sodium taste. There were age differences in renal handling of water and sodium that were consistent with a renal contribution to the greater saline intakes by middle-aged rats. There was evidence of impaired renal function in old rats, but this did not account for the reduced saline intakes of the oldest rats.
