Paragonimiasis Diagnosed Through Detection of Parasitic Ova in Pleural Effusion: A Clinical Case Report. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
We report a rare case of paragonimiasis initially presenting with trauma. Initial imaging and laboratory findings were predominantly indicative of trauma and nonspecific inflammatory responses, which obscured the clues of parasitic infection. The definitive diagnosis was achieved through comprehensive epidemiological history collection and parasitic ...

Characterization of Exogenous Sequence Fragments in Extracellular Vesicles from Human

Small Structures, Volume 4, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
Exogenous sequences in human extracellular vesicles (EVs) are identified by sequence alignment. In 1838 EV samples, an average of 21.82% of reads are unmapped to the human genome, and 12.33% are mapped to collected exogenous reference sequences. Parainfluenza virus and mammalian rubulavirus are only identified in lung adenocarcinoma samples and plant ...

Expert opinion on the identification, risk assessment, and mitigation of microorganisms and parasites relevant to xenotransplantation products from pigs

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...

Treatment of primary eosinophilic colitis using immunoglobulin/histamine complex

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Primary eosinophilic colitis (PEC) is a primary eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorder, and immunoglobulin/histamine complex (IHC) may be an effective therapeutic for PEC. IHC has a nonallergen‐specific antinociceptive effect in the treatment of histamine‐mediated pain.
