Acid fast staining in formalin-fixed tissue specimen of patients with extrapulmonary tuberculosis [PDF]

, 2014
Diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is difficult owing to low number of bacilli in the specimens, lack of adequate sample and non-uniform distribution of bacteria in tissues.

Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic

Diagnostic Role of Lymphnode Imprint: A Cyto-histopathological Correlation

Nepalese Medical Journal, 2019
Introduction: Lymphadenopathy is a very common condition for which excision biopsy is often recommended when fine needle aspiration cytology is not conclusive. Lymph node imprint cytology is a useful and rapid alternative diagnostic tool.

Containment of aerogenic Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in mice does not require MyD88 adaptor function for TLR2, -4 and -9.

, 2008
The role of Toll-like receptors (TLR) and MyD88 for immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection remains controversial. To address the impact of TLR-mediated pathogen recognition and MyD88-dependent signaling events on anti ...

Lymphoid‐Tissue‐on‐Chip Recapitulates Human Antibody Responses In Vitro

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The presented lymphoid‐tissue‐on‐chip system allows culture of primary human tonsil cells at organotypic high density under perfusion for up to 4 weeks, emulates immune response to soluble vaccines and vaccination via peripheral antigen‐presenting cells and represents a useful tool to assess cellular interactions during homeostasis, immune responses ...

Interleukin-17 is required for control of chronic lung infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]

, 2016
Chronic pulmonary infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a feature of cystic fibrosis (CF) and other chronic lung diseases. Cytokines of the IL-17 family have been proposed as important in the host response to P. aeruginosa infection through augmenting

Intraosseous sarcoidosis imitating peri‐implantitis: A case study

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown cause, typically affecting the lungs and lymph nodes, but it can also involve the eyes, skin, heart, bones, and other organs. The exact cause is unclear, but genetic factors and environmental triggers like infections, chemicals, or dust may play a role.
