Macrophages are phagocytic cells that play a key role in host immune response and clearance of microbial pathogens. Porphyromonas gingivalis is an oral pathogen associated with the development periodontitis. Escape from macrophage phagocytosis was tested by infecting THP-1-derived human macrophages RAW 264.7 mouse strains P. W83 33277 as well Streptococcus gordonii DL1 Escherichia coli OP50 at MOI = 100. CFU counts for all intracellular bacteria were determined. Then, infected cultured media...
Chondral defects of the knee are prevalent and often encountered during arthroscopic procedures. Despite limited healing potential chondral defects, several treatment options have been proposed. However, microfracture, osteochondral autograft (or allograft) transfer, autologous chondrocyte implantation, matrix-induced implantation all associated with their respective shortcomings. As such, optimal for remains unclear. Recently, many authors advocated treating biological therapies...
Eagle Syndrome is a rare condition with variety of presentations, resulting from an enlarged styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament. Due to the diagnosis can be difficult. In this report, we present case ES that presented constellation neurological symptoms, including headache and visual disturbance, ultimately found due cerebral sinus hypertension, exacerbated by certain movements, caused calcification ligament, consistent ES. The patient underwent styloidectomy immediate...
Carotid jugular arteriovenous fistulas are a documented complication of cannulation the internal vein. They may present with neck pain, headache, and cardiovascular aberrations. However, carotid fistula secondary thrombus formation after radiographic presentation similar to dural has not yet been reported in literature. Below, we report case 68-year-old male an incidentally found carotid-jugular pacemaker placement who had intracranial reflux on imaging, which was ultimately treated...
The surgical approach of an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) navigates many important neurologic vascular structures in the neck. More frequently reported complications are dysphagia, postoperative hematoma, cerebrospinal fluid leaks, dysphonia.This case report details ACDF a 49-year-old female with intractable neck pain radicular symptoms. Following procedure, she developed intermittent tachycardia at rest, which worsened exertion.The cardiac workup was negative. A ultrasound...
