Non-resectable pulmonary alveolar echinococcosis with multi-stage vertebral location

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2023
Alveolar echinococcosis (also known as Hydatid cyst or Hydatydosis) is a zoonosis with a high degree of disability and morbidity. Bone echinococcosis is a rare presentation.

A Retrospective Review of Neglected Tropical Diseases Diagnosed on Histopathological Specimens in the Free State Province, South Africa, 2015–2020

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Background. Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a heterogeneous group of medical conditions that commonly occur in underprivileged populations. NTDs are primarily diagnosed in tropical areas. Although South Africa is not situated in a tropical region, the high poverty rate makes the country susceptible to some NTDs. Limited data are available on the

Finite element simulation of fluid dynamics and CO$_2$ gas exchange in the alveolar sacs of the human lung [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
In this article we present a numerical framework based on continuum models for the fluid dynamics and the CO$_2$ gas distribution in the alveolar sacs of the human lung during expiration and inspiration, including the gas exchange to the cardiovascular system. We include the expansion and contraction of the geometry by means of the Arbitrary Lagrangian

A damaged-informed lung model for ventilator waveforms [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by the acute development of diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) resulting in increased vascular permeability and decreased alveolar gas exchange. Mechanical ventilation is a potentially lifesaving intervention to improve oxygen exchange but has the potential to cause ventilator-induced lung ...

Evaluation of intrahepatic manifestation and distant extrahepatic disease in alveolar echinococcosis

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2020
BACKGROUND The main endemic areas of alveolar echinococcosis (AE) are in Central Europe and Western China. Both the infiltration of intrahepatic vascular and bile duct structures as well as extrahepatic disease can lead to further complications and may ...

Ultrasound identification of hepatic echinococcosis using a deep convolutional neural network model in China: a retrospective, large-scale, multicentre, diagnostic accuracy study

The Lancet: Digital Health, 2023
Summary: Background: Ultrasonography is the most widely used technique to diagnose echinococcosis; however, challenges in using this technique and the demand on medical resources, especially in low-income or remote areas, can delay diagnosis.

Modeling Coating Flow and Surfactant Dynamics inside the Alveolar Compartment [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
We derive a new model for the coating flow inside the alveolar compartment, taking into account pulmonary surfactant production and recycling by Type 2 cells as well as its degradation. As the thickness of alveolar coating is much smaller than the average radius of the alveoli, we employ the classical lubrication approximation to describe the thin ...

Genotyping Echinococcus multilocularis in Human Alveolar Echinococcosis Patients: An EmsB Microsatellite Analysis

Pathogens, 2020
For clinical epidemiology specialists, connecting the genetic diversity of Echinococcus multilocularis to sources of infection or particular sites has become somewhat of a holy grail.

European Echinococcosis Registry: Human Alveolar Echinococcosis, Europe, 1982–2000

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
Surveillance for alveolar echinococcosis in central Europe was initiated in 1998. On a voluntary basis, 559 patients were reported to the registry. Most cases originated from rural communities in regions from eastern France to western Austria; single ...

Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: correlation between computed tomography morphology and inflammatory activity in positron emission tomography

Scientific Reports, 2020
Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) with 18F-fluorodesoxyglucose (FDG) is the imaging modality of choice for assessing inflammation surrounding hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE) lesions.
