Excluding the evidently tubercular cases, a majority of other enlarged chronically inflamed lymphatic glands remains. They appear to be of syphilitic origin. While plenty of stress is la...

Update on Pathologic Diagnosis of Corneal Infections and Inflammations

One of the most frequent types of corneal specimen that we received in our pathology laboratory is an excised corneal tissue following keratoplasty. Several of these cases are due to corneal infections or the sequelae, like corneal scar. Advances in the histological and molecular diagnosis of corneal infections and inflammations have resulted in rapid and accurate diagnosis of the infectious ag...

International Union of Pharmacology. LXI. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors.

The three peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. They share a high degree of structural homology with all members of the superfamily, particularly in the DNA-binding domain and ligand- and cofactor-binding domain. Many cellular and systemic roles have been attributed to these receptors, reaching...

Small Doses of Antimony in Inflammations

fact that Dr. Kent Spender, of Bath, had pointed out in the March 1885 number of the Practitioner, that antimony in frequently repeated smnll doses ?th of a grain of tartar emetic, every hour or two hours, has the power of completely dissipating early local inflammations. Acting on Dr. Spender's suggestion, the treatment of surgical inflammation by antimony in small doses, frequently repeated, ...
