The objective of this study was to determine whether the various chronic cystic lung diseases can be differentiated on basis pattern and distribution abnormalities high-resolution CT.High-resolution CT scans in 92 patients with (18 pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis, 18 lymphangioleiomyomatosis, 17 usual interstitial pneumonia, 16 lymphocytic 15 emphysema, eight desquamative pneumonia or respiratory bronchiolitis disease) were retrospectively assessed by two independent observers...

To correlate the findings at contrast material-enhanced dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of small peripheral pulmonary carcinomas with tumor vascularity and prognosis.Ninety-four patients who underwent surgical resection were examined retrospectively. Pathologic specimens stained hematoxylin-eosin elastin-van Gieson. CD34 vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) assessed immunohistochemically. Delineated CD34-positive cells counted as microvessels. Dynamic MR was performed prior to...
A case-control study was completed at the Princess Marie Louise Hospital in Accra, Ghana, to identify risk factors for prevalence of underweight and severe malnutrition urban African children. total 170 children, aged 8 36 mo, with normally nutritional status (≥80% W/A NCHS reference), (moderate malnutrition) (60-80% W/A), or (<80% presence edema, <60% W/A) were recruited clinical ward public health service section hospital. Anthropometric measurements physical examinations completed,...
Cyclophilin B (CypB) possesses two antigenic epitopes (CypB84–92 and CypB91–99) recognized by HLA-A24-restricted tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). To determine the safety of CypB-derived peptides its ability to generate antitumor immune responses, patients with advanced lung cancer received subcutaneous vaccinations these or their modified peptides. All 16 were vaccinated CypB91–99 peptide, whereas only CypB84–92, as immediate-type hypersensitivity CypB84–92 peptide was observed...
Abstract: Scedosporium apiospermum , a ubiquitously distributed saprophyte, is emerging as an important pathogen in immunocompromised patients. We describe 72‐year‐old patient with chronic S. infection of the lung simulating aspergilloma. His medical history was unremarkable except that he had undergone partial resection treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis several decades previously. He no underlying immunosuppressive conditions. This illustrates scedosporiosis not confined to patients and...
A fatal case of idiopathic eosinophilic pneumonia with acute lung injury is described. The patient required treatment mechanical ventilation and intravenous corticosteroids, however, she died on the third hospital day. At autopsy, both exudative proliferative phases diffuse alveolar damage were observed bilaterally. Marked infiltrate was noted in wall within cavities occasional abscess‐like features. To our knowledge, this first report pneumonia, provides important information for management...
This phase II study was conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of irinotecan (CPT-11) ifosfamide as second-line chemotherapy for relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Eligibility criteria included histologically or cytologically confirmed SCLC, prior including platinum + etoposide, measurable evaluable disease. CPT-11 (80 mg/m<sup>2</sup>) administered intravenously on days 1, 8 15, while (1.5 g/m<sup>2</sup>) given 1 through 3 every 4 weeks. Thirty-four...
The utilization of urea nitrogen was examined in 10 healthy adult men from a village near Lufa, the Eastern Highlands Province Papua New Guinea. staple diet these sweet potatoes. [15N]urea used as tracer for released into their intestinal tracts and urea-N estimated trend 15N. were orally given at beginning study then daily protein intake, serum levels, 15N excretion feces urine, retention whole body incorporation examined. Their intake (32.2±8.6g/day) low, but level (8.05±0.41g/100ml)...
Abstract: We describe the first known Japanese patient with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia caused by Schizophyllum commune . The presented to Social Insurance Tagawa Hospital, Fukuoka, Japan cough, wheezing, dyspnoea, and fever. Computed tomograms of chest showed bilateral areas consolidation air bronchograms as well interstitial infiltrates in upper lobe, without ectasia proximal bronchi. Fibreoptic bronchoscopy revealed no impacted mucus BAL fluid from right lobe yielded an increased total...
Abstract Background: Persistent diarrheal diseases have become one of the most serious medical problems in developing countries, but few studies been conducted to determine risk factors. In present study, we investigated nutritional and immunological background children with persistent diarrhea comparison those acute diarrhea. Methods: Children who were brought Oral Rehydration Salt Clinic Princess Marie Louise Children’s Hospital Accra evaluated from an aspect. follow-up visit, cases whose...
