Prognostic Biomarkers of Sarcoidosis: A Comparative Study of Serum Chitotriosidase, ACE, Lysozyme, and KL‐6

open access: yesDisease Markers, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Purpose. Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease with unknown etiology. Many clinical presentations have been reported, and acute disease needs to be distinguished from subacute and chronic disease.

Significance of Polymorphisms and Expression of Enzyme‐Encoding Genes Related to Glutathione in Hematopoietic Cancers and Solid Tumors

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Antioxidant compounds such as glutathione and its enzymes have become the focus of attention of medical sciences. Glutathione, a specific tripeptide, is involved in many intercellular processes. The glutathione concentration is determined by the number of GAG repeats in gamma‐glutamylcysteine synthetase.

Ground zero soil sampling: Trinity, 1945

open access: yesGeology Today, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 137-146, July/August 2025.
At Trinity—the world's first nuclear weapons testing site—large quantities of soil were drawn into the fireball to redeposit either downwind as radioactive fallout or in the near‐field as a unique, anthropogenic silicate glass trinitite. Manhattan Project physicists and chemists came to see soils at the Trinity site as a useful medium to assess the ...

Systemic Granulomatous Diseases Associated with Multiple Palpable Masses That May Involve the Breast: Case Presentation and an Approach to the Differential Diagnosis

open access: yesCase Reports in Medicine, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Palpable mass is a common complaint presented to the breast surgeon. It is very uncommon for patients to report breast mass associated with palpable masses in other superficial structures. When these masses are related to systemic granulomatous diseases, the diagnosis and initiation of specific therapy can be challenging.
