Leptospirosis is an emerging disease among people and dogs in Sydney, Australia. However, the routes of Leptospira transmission these cases, particular possible role rats as reservoirs infection are unknown. Rats were collected within City Sydney Council area their kidneys tested for pathogenic DNA by real-time (q)PCR. A subset also had qPCR testing performed on whole blood urine, Microscopic Agglutination Testing (MAT) that included a panel 10 serovars from nine different serogroups was...
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis caused by exposure to Leptospira excreted into the environment rodents or other mammals. A notification of case leptospirosis in an adult male with no history travel livestock triggered environmental health investigation his workplace, local golf course. We hypothesised that water splash eye from creek running through course, which occurred after period heavy rainfall, had led exposure, likely on basis contamination rodent urine. Testing samples detected...
A 58-yoar-old woman was hospitalized because of shortness broath, cough, weakness, and physical signs suggestive mitral stenosis. Echo-Doppler examination revealed a left atrial mass. This removed turned out to be fibrosarcoma. Rccurronce the tumor with metastases into pericardium, thyroid goiter, kidney led patient's death 6 months later. The clinical pathological foatures our rare case arc compared those in literature.
A 77-year-old woman was hospitalized with rapid atrial fibrillation and found to be thyrotoxic. Tc-99m pertechnetate thyroid scan performed 20 minutes after injection showed only faint uptake confined the left bed. The patient not taking medications had no recent radiographic or CT studies contrast material. 48-hour whole-body I-131 revealed ectopic source of tissue, but it did show a large hot focus in region lobe, rest gland. An ultrasound examination an intact gland echogenic nodule lobe....
WNT5A is a secreted member of the Wnt multi-gene family which has been implicated in modulation tumor progression melanoma and lymphoma cells. Recently, we identified as downstream target pro-invasive transcription factor CUTL1 TGFbeta. To investigate effect on proliferation invasion, used PANC1 pancreatic carcinoma cells stably overexpressing well with transient knock-down by RNA interference. We observed significantly increased cell expressing cells, assessed counting, thymidine...
