Pneumococcal interactions with mucin

, 2011
The nasopharynx is covered by mucin. Mucin is a glycoprotein and the carbohydrate moieties are potential fermentable substrates for Streptococcus pneumoniae. Previous in vitro studies showed that S. pneumoniae can grow on mucin. This study was undertaken

Impact of extended insurance coverage on survival outcomes among patients with metastatic colorectal cancer in Taiwan

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Predetermined treatment duration limits (PTDLs) are often used by Taiwan's National Health Insurance Administration to contain healthcare costs, but they may compromise patient outcomes. Therefore, we studied Taiwan's 2017 extension of the bevacizumab PTDL from 24 to 36 weeks in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) to evaluate whether prolonged ...

Mucin-rich and mucin-poor colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma: clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic significance

Background Recent findings suggest that colorectal signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) can be categorized into two histological types—mucin-rich and mucin-poor—based on the quantity of extracellular mucin, but the prognostic value and the molecular ...

Beyond antimicrobials: Ecological nano‐strategies for rebalancing dysbiotic oral microbial homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Oral microbial homeostasis, a dynamic host‐microbe balance, is vital in infectious diseases. Conventional antibiotics often disrupt this homeostasis, spurring interest in nanomaterials for oral microbial homeostasis rebalancing. This review outlines nanomaterial strategies across three ecological levels (population/community, ecosystem, and cross ...

Fine‐Needle Aspiration of Salivary Gland Tumors With Low‐Grade Oncocytic Features: Focusing on Oncocytoma Versus Oncocytic Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Salivary gland fine‐needle aspirates (FNAs) with low‐grade oncocytic features are diagnostically challenging due to the substantial morphologic overlap between benign oncocytic tumors and their malignant mimickers. This study evaluates the diagnostic discriminators, performance, and risk of malignancy of these lesions using the ...

Low‐Grade Serous Carcinoma in Association With Endosalpingiosis in a Cervical Lymph Node: A Case Report and Literature Review

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endosalpingiosis is a benign Müllerian inclusion that rarely involves supradiaphragmatic lymph nodes. Malignant transformation in the setting of nodal endosalpingiosis is exceptional. We report a case of low‐grade serous carcinoma arising in a cervical lymph node in the setting of endosalpingiosis in a 41‐year‐old woman presenting with Horner ...

Antidepressant Misuse in Esports: A Review of Pharmacology, Adverse Effects, Pharmacokinetics and Biomatrix‐Based Detection for Anti‐Doping Applications

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
This review highlights the misuse of antidepressants as potential cognitive‐enhancing agents in Esports. Despite pharmacological effects that overlap with those of psychostimulants, antidepressants remain an under‐recognised source of doping in Esports.
