A novel interleukin 36 gamma for diagnosing and differentiating malignant from infectious pleural effusion

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis
Background Pleural effusions can be caused by various diseases, making their diagnosis challenging. Light’s criteria are often used to distinguish transudative and exudative effusions.

Navigating adverse immunostimulation: A practical guide for clinical researchers

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Problem Setting As drug development moves towards more complex products, early clinical development programmes are increasingly hampered by unwanted and/or unexpected activation of the immune system (adverse immune stimulation, AIS). Solution At the Centre for Human Drug Research, we have introduced standardized procedures to make AIS manageable, while

Feasibility and Procedural Considerations of Balloon‐Expandable TAVR in Patients With Prior Endovascular Aortic Stent Grafts

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the feasibility and short‐term outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) using balloon‐expandable Sapien valves in patients with prior endovascular aortic stent grafts. Methods We conducted a single‐center, retrospective study of 23 patients with prior endovascular aortic stent grafts who underwent TAVR ...

Flow cytometry‐based monitoring of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells: Reagent selection, assay design, and clinical utility

Cytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate quantification of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells is essential for monitoring post‐infusion CART expansion and persistence and for real‐time clinical decision‐making. Multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) enables rapid, live‐cell detection with absolute quantification and concurrent immunophenotypic characterization. This review

Assessment of the histopathological prototypes of the pleural fluid and granulomatous tissue reaction associated with pleural tuberculosis

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2014
Purpose: The aim of this study is to differentiate between the histopathological features of pleural tuberculosis both free and encysted forms of pleural effusion as regards pleural fluid cytology and pleural tissue granulomatous tissue reaction and ...

Diagnostic Usefulness of Cell Block Samples in Fluid Overload‐Associated Large B‐Cell Lymphoma

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fluid overload‐associated B‐cell lymphoma (FO‐LBCL) is a B‐cell neoplasm that presents as serous effusions without detectable tumor masses and Kaposi sarcoma‐associated herpesvirus (KSHV)/human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) infection. Here, we report a case of an 81‐year‐old female patient with FO‐LBCL (Stage IVA) who presented with pericardial and ...

Epithelioid Enigma: Proximal‐Type Epithelioid Sarcoma in Cyst Fluid Cytology

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is a rare, aggressive soft tissue malignancy with substantial morphologic overlap with other epithelioid neoplasms, creating diagnostic difficulty in cytology specimens. We report proximal‐type ES identified in cyst fluid from a lesion clinically interpreted as an epidermal inclusion cyst or abscess.

Biomarkers of lung congestion and injury in acute heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 781-789, April 2025.
Abstract Acute heart failure (AHF) classification and management are primarily based on lung congestion and/or hypoperfusion. The quantification of the vascular and tissue lung damage is not standard practice though biomarkers of lung injury may play a relevant role in this context.

Discrimination between pleural thickening and minimal pleural effusion using color Doppler chest ultrasonography

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2013
Background: The discrimination of pleural thickening from minimal pleural effusion may be difficult as both lesions appear as anechoic on grayscale ultrasound, hence, free of “echoes” does not confirm the presence of pleural fluid.
