FDG PET/CT imaging and circulating biomarkers of inflammation in desmoplakin cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
ESC Heart FailAbstract Aims Inflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of desmoplakin (DSP) cardiomyopathy, and retrospective studies have described abnormal myocardial fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) findings in symptomatic patients eventually diagnosed with DSP cardiomyopathy.

Morphological Characterization of Intrafollicular Epithelial Bodies (IFEBs) in Rabbit Peyer's Patches. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciFollicle-associated epithelium (FAE) covering the lymphoid follicles of Peyer’s patches (PPs) plays a central role in mucosal immunity. Here, we investigated FAE-derived intrafollicular epithelial bodies (IFEBs) that apparently detach from the FAE and ...

Persistence of both peripheral and non-peripheral corneodesmosomes in the upper stratum corneum of winter xerosis skin versus only peripheral in normal skin. [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2001 To understand the biochemical abnormalities that underlie the reduced desquamation observed in dry skin, we analyzed corneodesmosome degradation in normal and winter xerosis skin.

Subclinical oral involvement in patients with endemic pemphigus foliaceus
Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2018 Background: We have described a variant of endemic pemphigus foliaceus (EPF) in El Bagre area known as pemphigus Abreu-Manu. Our previous study suggested that Colombian EPF seemed to react with various plakin family proteins, such as desmoplakins ...
