IL‐33/ST2 Signaling Sustains Hepato‐Intestinal Homeostasis by Orchestrating Vascular Surveillance and Immune Regulatory Circuits During Experimental Trypanosoma cruzi Infection

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.
Impairment of hepato‐intestinal homeostasis triggered by ST2 deficiency during T. cruzi infection. Within the splenic compartment, immune dysregulation is marked by a robust pro‐inflammatory polarization of the T‐cell landscape. In the liver, ST2 deficiency is associated with hepatocellular injury, increased parasite burden, and hyperalbuminemia ...

Future Projection of Cystic Echinococcosis in Iran to 2040: A Secondary Analysis Based on Global Burden of Disease (2021)

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Hydatid cyst disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus poses a major zoonotic threat in Iran, especially in rural and pastoral areas. It causes considerable public health and economic costs due to high treatment expenses, decreased livestock productivity, and carcass condemnation. Methods We applied the illness‐death model (

Large Hydatid Cyst in the Cardiac Interventricular Septum: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 1538-1542, July/August 2026.
Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease with a high incidence in pastoral areas in Tibet. The heart is an uncommon location of echinococcosis, and involvement of the interventricular septum is even rarer. This disease can remain asymptomatic for a long time, but may result in cardiac tamponade and sudden death.

TTK Overexpression: A Negative Prognostic Biomarker in Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Given threonine and tyrosine kinase (TTK)'s oncogenic role in various cancers and its understudied status in thyroid cancer, this study investigates TTK expression in thyroid lesions to assess its diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Methods We analyzed differential TTK expression levels using public datasets (n = 143) and clinical

Pulmonary Echinococcosis or Lung Hydatidosis: A Narrative Review

Surgical Infections, 2020
Background: Lung hydatidosis is a zoonosis related to infection by the Echinococcus tapeworm species. Lung involvement in this condition is second only to the liver echinococcosis. Diagnosis ordinarily results from an accidental finding in a direct chest
