Peritoneal cavity is dominated by IFNγ-secreting CXCR3+ Th1 cells. [PDF]
The chemokine receptor CXCR3, which was shown to take part in many inflammatory processes, is considered as a Th1 specific marker. Here, we show in a mouse model that CXCR3 expressing CD4(+) cells preferentially migrate to the peritoneal cavity under ...

Mouse Tissue‐Resident Peritoneal Macrophages in Homeostasis, Repair, Infection, and Tumor Metastasis
Large peritoneal macrophages (LPMs) are long‐lived, tissue‐resident macrophages, formed during embryonic life, developmentally and functionally confined to the peritoneal cavity. LPMs provide the first line of defense against life‐threatening pathologies

Infectious complications of peritoneal dialysis
Peritoneal dialysis is one of three basic methods of renal replacement therapy. Others include hemodialysis and kidney transplantation. In peritoneal dialysis, the peritoneal cavity is used to clean the blood of excess unnecessary substances and water ...

Tuberculosis of the peritoneal cavity
Abstract The clinical presentation and management of 30 consecutive patients with tuberculous pertonitis are reviewed. Seventy per cent of the patients were aged 40 years or less and 80 per cent were immigrants. The main clinical features of abdominal pain, loss of weight, vomiting and sweating at night had been present in a large number

Computational modelling of peritoneal dialysis: an overview [PDF]
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is becoming more popular as a result of a rising interest in home dialysis, lower intrusion in social life and longer preservation of residual kidney function. However, PD has several important drawbacks: small solute clearance is relatively low compared to hemodialysis and technique survival is limited.
