Dendritic cell subsets in T cell programming: location dictates function

Dendritic cells (DCs) can be viewed as translators between innate and adaptive immunity. They integrate signals derived from tissue infection or damage and present processed antigen from these sites to naive T cells in secondary lymphoid organs while also providing multiple soluble and surface-bound signals that help to guide T cell differentiation

Implications of Prostate Cancer Treatment in Men With Inflammatory Bowel Dis…

To investigate the influences of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a rare but morbid disease with increasing incidence, on prostate cancer management decisions. We examined whether prostate cancer treatment differed for men with IBD, and whether treatment choice was associated with risk of IBD flare

THE RADIOLOGICAL FINDINGS IN RADIATION-INDUCED ENTERITIS AND COLITIS A REVIEW…

Following radiotherapy to the abdomen, clinically significant radiation damage may occur to the gastrointestinal tract. The disease process when observed directly (as at surgery or at autopsy) may extend far more than that seen on the radiological examination. One radiological finding is a roundish pool of barium due to many loops of small bowel being matted together and encased in a thick,…

Outcomes Associated With Antibiotic Timing Post-Bronchoscopy In Ventilator-As…

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the second most common ICU nosocomial infection associated with increased mortality. Current VAP guidelines recommend early empiric antibiotic therapy based on local pathogen distribution

Natural disasters and the lung

As the world population expands, an increasing number of people are living in areas which may be threatened by natural disasters. Most of these major natural disasters occur in the Asian region.

Severe Complications of Bronchoscopy

Bronchoscopy is a widely performed procedure that is generally considered to be safe and effective. In recent years, the flexible bronchoscope has been refined, and its range of applications has been greatly expanded [1] , which has led to an increase in the complication rate in our hospital

Tuberculous meningitis

Uncertainty and doubt dominate all aspects of tuberculous meningitis (TBM). The variable natural history and accompanying clinical features of TBM hinders the diagnosis. Ziehl-Neelsen staining lacks sensitivity and culture results are often insufficiently timely to aid clinical judgement.

Tuberculous meningitis: Diagnostic and therapeutic challenges

Neurologists are often the first medical providers to evaluate patients with possible infectious meningitis. Knowledge of the clinical presentations and cerebrospinal fluid, microbiologic, and neuroimaging findings for different etiologies is essential to make a prompt diagnosis and initiate appropriate treatment

Empyema thoracis

The actual incidence of empyema thoracis is still increasing worldwide and remains a clinical challenge with significant impact on public health; early recognition and prompt evaluation are of prime importance. Despite a lack of standardization of treatments, management should be planned according to stage, avoiding delays on referral
