Diagnostic value of immunological skin tests in children with tuberculosis
The paper gives the results of an analysis of intracutaneous Mantoux tuberculin tests with 2 TU, 1 TU, 0.1 TU, and 0.01 TU PPD-L and intracutaneous Diaskintest using recombinant tuberculosis allergen in the standard dilution in 63 children with ...

α‐Synuclein strain homogeneity in multiple system atrophy subtypes
Two different subtypes of multiple system atrophy are recognized: MSA‐C and MSA‐P. In this manuscript, Lau et al. investigate whether MSA‐C and MSA‐P are caused by different strains of α‐synuclein aggregates. By performing conformational fingerprinting experiments as well as in vitro and in vivo seeding assays, their findings suggest that both MSA‐C ...

Utility of newer technologies for the diagnosis of active and latent tuberculosis [PDF]
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 91-109).Since the 1800s the tuberculin skin test (TST) has been the only available test for latent tuberculosis (LTBI). Recently, interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) have been developed which are based upon

Exploring the Fate of Cattle Herds With Inconclusive Reactors to the Tuberculin Skin Test
Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is an important animal health issue in many parts of the world. In England and Wales, the primary test to detect infected animals is the single intradermal comparative cervical tuberculin test, which compares immunological ...

ABSTRACT Several benign, inflammatory and malignant lesions can present as iris or anterior chamber masses, including iris naevi, cysts, adenomas, leiomyomas, nodules, vascular tumours, melanomas, metastases, as well as iris and pigment epithelium adenocarcinomas. Fortunately, benign iris lesions are much more common than malignant tumours and many can

ABSTRACT Objective Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) frequently invades the mandibular bone, leading to metastasis and poor prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of locally administered interleukin‐12 (IL‐12) using an immunocompetent mouse model mimicking the clinical features of mandibular bone invasion. Methods The effects

Early oxidation‐related changes in aqueous humor following eye exposure to ultraviolet‐A radiation
UVA exposure induces early oxidative alterations in the aqueous humor, disrupting its antioxidant balance. Levels of ascorbic acid, reduced glutathione (GSH), and the GSH/GSSG ratio decrease, while oxidized glutathione (GSSG), S‐glutathionylated proteins (PSSG), and malondialdehyde (MDA), a lipid peroxidation by‐product, increase.
