Comparison between the diagnostic accuracy of Xpert MTB/Rif assay and culture for pleural tuberculosis using tissue biopsy

ERJ Open Research, 2019
Background Early diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis is difficult as it is a paucibacillary disease and a combination of tests is required to diagnose it, which have varied diagnostic accuracy and increase the cost.

Extracellular fluid viscosity influences the mechanics and migration of MDA‐MB‐231 cells in a macromolecule‐dependent manner

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Macromolecule‐dependent increases in extracellular fluid viscosity alter cell phenotype. These distinct macromolecules create different extracellular environments that modulate cell morphology and mechanoprotein expression, migration and invasion capacity, and cellular mechanical properties.

Clinical Outcomes of Gradual Corticosteroid Tapering for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor‐Induced Liver Injury

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Patients with severe ICI‐induced liver injury are commonly treated with corticosteroids, but the optimal tapering strategy remains uncertain. In this study, a gradual corticosteroid tapering strategy based partly on Japanese clinical practice for autoimmune hepatitis was associated with a low rate of relapse and enabled many patients to safely resume ...

Poorly differentiated lung adenocarcinomas with concurrent ALK and CD30 expression: a diagnostic pitfall mimicking ALK‐positive anaplastic large‐cell lymphoma

Histopathology, EarlyView.
Poorly differentiated lung adenocarcinomas with concurrent anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and CD30 expression closely mimic ALK‐positive anaplastic large‐cell lymphoma, creating a significant diagnostic pitfall. Accurate classification requires comprehensive integration of clinical, radiologic, morphologic, immunophenotypic and molecular findings ...

Sensitivity of GeneXpert in pleural biopsy specimens in diagnosing tuberculosis in undiagnosed exudative pleural effusion

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease
Pleural effusion is among the most common forms of paucibacillary extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Diagnosis is often clinical or based on elevated pleural fluid adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels.

Low frequency of MTAP co‐deletion with CDKN2A in peritoneal mesothelioma suggests an independent diagnostic role for MTAP

Histopathology, EarlyView.
Aims Loss of MTAP expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) is widely used as a surrogate for CDKN2A homozygous deletion (HD) in pleural mesothelioma (PM), but its diagnostic value in peritoneal mesothelioma (PeM) is less well defined. We investigated whether the observed limited reliability of MTAP IHC in PeM reflects a lower frequency of MTAP/CDKN2A ...
