Disseminated Mycobacterium chimaera infection in a patient with adult-onset immunodeficiency syndrome: case report

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background Patients with adult-onset immunodeficiency syndrome due to anti-interferon-γ autoantibodies (AIGAs) are susceptible to disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infections. M.

Case report of the first cured patient with Mycobacterium Chimaera infection following cardiac valve replacement in the mainland of China

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2021
Background Mycobacterium chimaera infections subsequent to cardiac surgery are related to contaminated heater-cooler devices, with high mortality. Nevertheless, few studies have been reported in Asia.

Embryonic Environmental Niche Reprograms Somatic Cells to Express Pluripotency Markers and Participate in Adult Chimaeras

Cells, 2021
The phenomenon of the reprogramming of terminally differentiated cells can be achieved by various means, like somatic cell nuclear transfer, cell fusion with a pluripotent cell, or the introduction of pluripotency genes.

Body mass, temperature, and depth shape the maximum intrinsic rate of population increase in sharks and rays

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
An important challenge in ecology is to understand variation in species' maximum intrinsic rate of population increase, rmax, not least because rmax underpins our understanding of the limits of fishing, recovery potential, and ultimately extinction risk.

Another human chimaera [PDF]

Journal of Medical Genetics, 1974
Another human chimaera is described, which we are unable to classify because of limited family data. Evidence of chimaerism was confined to haemopoietic tissues. There were two red cell populations with differences in four blood group systems and, although the patient was female, chromosome analysis of cultured lymphocytes showed that 96% of cells had ...

Mycobacterium chimaera in heater–cooler devices: an experience in a tertiary hospital in Spain

New Microbes and New Infections, 2021
The aim of the study was to describe the Mycobacterium chimaera contamination in heater–cooler devices after the application of a protocol of cleaning and disinfection in a tertiary hospital. It was an observational study at the La Paz-Cantoblanco-Carlos

Preimplantation chromosomal mosaics, chimaeras and confined placental mosaicism

Reproduction and Fertility, 2022
Some human preimplantation embryos are chromosomally mosaic. For technical reasons, estimates of the overall frequency vary widely from 90% and the true frequency remains unknown.
