متن کاملCT following blunt abdominal trauma in children
Guidelines for imaging children who have suffered major blunt trauma have been produced by a sub-group of the British Society of Paediatric Radiologists (BSPR). These were developed after it was recognised that children are ‘not just small adults’ and have different injury patterns. This is due to differences in relative anatomical proportions (for example, small children have a relatively larg...
متن کاملKiller Cell Immunoglobulin-Like Receptors Influence the Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses
Natural killer (NK) cells are a subset of lymphocytes which play a crucial role in early innate immune response against infection and tumor transformation. Furthermore, they secrete interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) prompting adaptive immu-nity. NK cells distinguish the unhealthy cells from the healthy ones through an array of cell-surface receptors. Human NK cells use inhibi...
