A 7 to 18 MHz linear array transducer was placed transversely on the lateral neck focusing on the carotid sheath from the clavicle level upward to the digastric muscle level bilaterally. The grayscale techni…

The Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis: The Early Infiltrate of Post-primary (Adult…
It has long been recognized that tuberculosis (TB) induces both protective and tissue damaging immune responses. This paper reviews nearly two centuries of evidence that protection and tissue damage are mediated by separate disease entities in humans. Primary TB mediates protective immunity to disseminated infection while post-primary TB causes tissue damage that results in formation of caviti…

In the past 15 years, newer antibiotics with activities against drug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria have been developed. In most circumstances, peritonitis due to methicillin-resistant staphylococci responds to vancomyci…
