Liver – Inflammation, focal Liver – Inflammation, [Acute, Suppurative, Chronic, Chronic active, Granulomatous

Suppurative inflammation with microabscess and pseudocyst formation is a characteristic histologic manifestation of cutaneous infections with rapid-growing Mycobacterium species.

Mycobacterial infections of the skin classically cause a granulomatous tissue reaction. We have observed a suppurative pattern of inflammation associated with infections by rapid-growing Mycobacterium species in immunocompromised patients. We report 6 cases in skin and soft tissue with an unusual but consistent lack of a predominance of granulomatous inflammation. Of the 6 cases, 4 had predomin...

Schistosomiasis presenting as acute appendicitis.

BACKGROUND Schistosomiasis is a chronic granulomatous inflammation that affects many systems in the body including the gastrointestinal tract. This study was carried out by reviewing all cases of schistosomal appendicitis, and documents any association with acute appendicitis. OBJECTIVE To review all cases of schistosomal appendicitis and document any possible asspciation with acute appendici...

Phagocyte respiratory burst activates macrophage erythropoietin signalling to promote acute inflammation resolution

Inflammation resolution is an active process, the failure of which causes uncontrolled inflammation which underlies many chronic diseases. Therefore, endogenous pathways that regulate inflammation resolution are fundamental and of wide interest. Here, we demonstrate that phagocyte respiratory burst-induced hypoxia activates macrophage erythropoietin signalling to promote acute inflammation reso...

Cost-utility analysis of tympanomastoidectomy for adults with chronic suppurative otitis media

Health technology The study evaluated tympanomastoid surgery. A comparator was not explicitly stated at the outset, although it was likely to be no tympanomastoid surgery. The health technology was compared between two different patient groups. These were patients with wet ear suffering from chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) and patients with dry ear suffering from CSOM. The wet-ear group...
