Agreement and Accuracy of the Dural Tail Sign for Differentiating Canine Meningioma From Glioma on MRI

Veterinary Radiology &Ultrasound, Volume 67, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The dural tail sign (DTS) is an imaging sign used to categorize intracranial masses based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) axial localization. It is common in masses arising from outside the neuroparenchyma (extra‐axial) and rare in masses arising from the neuroparenchyma (intra‐axial).

Thoracic Computed Tomographic Characteristics of Canine Blastomycosis

Veterinary Radiology &Ultrasound, Volume 67, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT While thoracic radiographic studies have described the broad thoracic findings of canine blastomycosis, thoracic computed tomographic (CT) findings have been minimally reported. This single‐center, retrospective, descriptive case series study aimed to characterize thoracic CT features of canine blastomycosis.

Computed Tomographic Scan Evaluation of Pulmonary Blastomycosis

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2009
BACKGROUND: Blastomycosis is an uncommon granulomatous pulmonary and extrapulmonary infectious disease caused by the thermally dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis. Diagnosis may be delayed or difficult because of varied presentation.

Why, Immunologically, Housing‐Related Fungi and Endotoxins (and Other Chronic Pro‐Inflammatory Stressors) Risk Latent Tuberculosis Reactivation, Severe Asthma, and Translocating and Invasive Infections in Indigenous Communities in Canada

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Type 1/M1/TH1 and type 3/M1/TH17 pro‐inflammatory switches are risks for latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) reactivation and ongoing infection transmission. This paper considers the heavy toll of reactivation risk in Indigenous communities in Canada and the chronic, everyday pro‐inflammatory stressors connected with type 3/M1/TH17 immune ...

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review

Clinical Anatomy, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 346-367, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.

Geographic Distribution of Endemic Fungal Infections among Older Persons, United States

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
To investigate the epidemiology and geographic distribution of histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, and blastomycosis in older persons in the United States, we evaluated a random 5% sample of national Medicare data from 1999 through 2008.
