As we age, there is an increased risk for the development of tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium (Mtb) infection. Few studies consider that age-associated changes in alveolar lining fluid (ALF) may increase susceptibility altering soluble mediators innate immunity. We assessed impact adult or elderly human ALF during Mtb infection vitro and vivo. identified amplification pro-oxidative proinflammatory pathways decreased binding capability surfactant-associated surfactant protein A...
Abstract Far‐UVC radiation, defined in this paper as ultraviolet (UV) radiation with wavelengths from 200 to 235 nm, is a promising tool help prevent the spread of disease. The unique advantage far‐UVC technology over traditional UV germicidal irradiation lies potential for direct application into occupied spaces since antimicrobial doses are significantly below recommended daily safe exposure limits. This study used ceiling‐mounted fixture emitting at 222 nm directly irradiate an indoor...
Abstract Introduction Normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) represents an innovative technology that improves the outcomes for liver and kidney recipients of donation after circulatory determination death (DCD) organs but protocols abdominal‐only NRP (A‐NRP) DCD are lacking in US. Methods We describe implementation expansion strategies a transplant‐center‐based A‐NRP program has grown volume, geographical reach, donor acceptance parameters, presented as four eras. Results In era, two donors...
HIV-infected patients are at higher risk of developing oral mucosal infection and Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)-associated B cell malignancies. However, the potential role immunity in pathogenesis lesions is unknown. Tonsils oral-pharyngeal mucosal-associated lymphoid tissues that play an important immunity. In this study, we investigated changes innate adaptive immune cells macaque tonsils during chronic SIV infection. We found significantly frequencies classical monocytes, CD3+CD56+ (NKT-like)...
INTRODUCTION: Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) can be used as a noninvasive measurement of intercranial pressure. Few studies have evaluated the value ONSD in predicting need for ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) placement after development post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) adults. METHODS: Adult patients 18 years or older, admitted with intracranial hemorrhage and requiring EVD were included study. Demographics recorded. CT imaging was measured (mm) upon initial ED visit before...
Bloodless surgery and a reduction in the use of allogeneic blood products has long been standard care medicine. Many individuals our communities have demanded this form surgical treatment for personal religious reasons. On 6 December 2002, 72-year-old male patient was admitted to institution as critical air flight transfer. The patient’s height 190.5 cm weight 59.3 kg (body surface area 1.83 m 2 ). His preliminary diagnosis chest pain with myocardial infarction evidenced by elevated cardiac...
Patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) impose a significant risk for postoperative morbidity and mortality requiring cardiovascular surgical intervention the use of extracorporeal circulation. Recently, we treated 58-year-old male acute coronary syndrome complicated recurrent ventricular arrhythmia, hypoxemia secondary to COPD resolving pneumonia, who required urgent revascularization. A novel operative strategy was used that included beating heart bypass grafting...
