Cell migration and chimerism after whole‐organ transplantation: The basis of graft acceptance [PDF]
Improvements in the prevention or control of rejection of the kidney and liver have been largely interchangeable ( 1 , 2 ) and then applicable, with very little modification, to thoracic and other organs.

MRI of the lung (3/3)-current applications and future perspectives [PDF]
BACKGROUND: MRI of the lung is recommended in a number of clinical indications. Having a non-radiation alternative is particularly attractive in children and young subjects, or pregnant women.

Recurrent Syncope, a Clue in Amyloid Cardiomyopathy
Infiltrative cardiomyopathies include a variety of disorders that lead to myocardial thickening resulting in a constellation of clinical manifestations and eventually heart failure that could be the first clue to reach the diagnosis.

A simple voltage/mass index increases the suspicion of amyloidotic cardiomyopathy: an electrocardiographic and echocardiographic study of 767 patients with increased left ventricular wall thickness due to different causes [PDF]
Background-Amyloidotic cardiomyopathy (AC) can mimic true left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and hypertensive heart disease (HHD).

An abnormal diastolic function of left ventricle represents the main pathophysiological mechanism responsible for different clinical states such as restrictive cardiomyopathy, infiltrative myocardial disease and, specially, diastolic heart failure (also ...

Valsartan for attenuating disease evolution in early sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: the design of the Valsartan for Attenuating Disease Evolution in Early Sarcomeric Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (VANISH) trial [PDF]
Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is often caused by sarcomere gene mutations, resulting in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), myocardial fibrosis, and increased risk of sudden cardiac death and heart failure.

Odontogenic Myxoma Of The Maxilla: A Clinical Case Report And Review Of Literature [PDF]
Odontogenic myxomas are rare benign mesenchymal tumours of head and neck with a potential for local infiltration and recurrence. They appear to originate from the dental papilla, follicle or periodontal ligament in mandible and less commonly the ...

Inflammatory cell infiltrates in the heart of patients with coronary artery disease with and without inflammatory rheumatic disease: a biopsy study [PDF]
The cause of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) in inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs) has not been fully elucidated. As inflammation may play a role, we wanted to compare the occurrence and extent of inflammatory cell infiltrates (ICIs), small vessel vasculitis, and the amount of adipose tissue and collagen in cardiac biopsies taken from ...

Commentary: Heart Fat Infiltration in Subjects With and Without Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]
Mazzali et al. showed myocardial steatosis in subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD), describing a significant increase in lipid droplets (LDs) and metabolically active adipocytes interspersed among cardiomyocytes, which were positively associated with changes in BMI and circulating leptin and negatively with adiponectin (1).

T-Cell Reactivity against Streptococcal Antigens in the Periphery Mirrors Reactivity of Heart-Infiltrating T Lymphocytes in Rheumatic Heart Disease Patients [PDF]
ABSTRACTT-cell molecular mimicry between streptococcal and heart proteins has been proposed as the triggering factor leading to autoimmunity in rheumatic heart disease (RHD). We searched for immunodominant T-cell M5 epitopes among RHD patients with defined clinical outcomes and compared the T-cell reactivities of peripheral blood and intralesional T ...
