Bacteriophages in clinical samples can interfere with microbiological diagnostic tools [PDF]
Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria, and they are found everywhere their bacterial hosts are present, including the human body. To explore the presence of phages in clinical samples, we assessed 65 clinical samples (blood, ascitic fluid ...

Presence of multiple bacterial markers in clinical samples might be useful for presumptive diagnosis of infection in cirrhotic patients with culture-negative reports [PDF]
Bacterial infections in cirrhotic patients with ascites are associated with a severe prognosis and an increased risk of death. The microbiological standard tests for the diagnosis of suspected infection, based on culture test of blood and ascitic fluid ...

Duke Spleen Data Set: A Publicly Available Spleen MRI and CT dataset for Training Segmentation [PDF]
Spleen volumetry is primarily associated with patients suffering from chronic liver disease and portal hypertension, as they often have spleens with abnormal shapes and sizes. However, manually segmenting the spleen to obtain its volume is a time-consuming process.

Lubricated axisymmetric gravity currents of power-law fluids [PDF]
The motion of glaciers over their bedrock or drops of fluid along a solid surface can become unstable when these substrates are lubricated. Previous studies modeled such systems as coupled gravity currents (GCs) consisting of one fluid that lubricates the flow of another fluid, and having two propagating fronts.

The severe heterogeneity of ovarian carcinomas on the molecular genetic level is associated with the absence of specific markers of chemoresistance. At the same time, ascites is an attractive biomarker detection fluid because it is easily obtained.

Background. Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is one of the most unfavorable factors of ovarian cancer progression. It is often accompanied by accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity, which is called ascites.

Hybrid continuum-molecular modeling of fluid slip flow [PDF]
Experiments on fluid systems in micro-/nano-scale solid conveyors have shown a violation of the no-slip assumption that have been adopted by the classical fluid mechanics. To correct this mechanics for the fluid slip, various approaches have been proposed to determine the slip boundary conditions.

Ascitic fluid regulates the local innate immune response of patients with cirrhosis
Ascitic neutrophils from cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) exhibit an impaired oxidative burst that could facilitate bacterial infection.

From the Pharynx to the Abdomen: A Case of Primary Peritonitis
Primary peritonitis usually occurs in patients with comorbidities previously diagnosed with ascites. However, a primary peritoneal infection in previously healthy patients may also ensue.
