Swyer-James syndrome (SJS) is a rare constrictive bronchiolitis that appears to be the result of acute bronchiolitis in infancy or early childhood. In the present study the cytological and immunophenotypical profile of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was studied in two patients with SJS who showed a different spectrum of clinical outcome. The total BAL yield was markedly increased in the patient w...

Fuchs syndrome is a milder form of the Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) spectrum with only mucosal involvement which can be triggered by Mycoplasma pneumonia (MP) infection. Treatment should be directed toward supportive care including ocular and mucous membrane care, fluids and nutritional support, and pain control. In addition, antibiotic and immunomodulatory treatments are discussed for this e...

AIM to analyze the effect of SJS aerobic exercise on blood and plasma viscosity. METHODS the study was performed on 30 subjects with an age span of 40 to 60 years. Subjects participated in SJS aerobic exercise of moderate intensity of 40 to 45 minutes duration, three times a week for 9 to 12 weeks. Five milliliters of blood were collected into K3EDTA container to assess blood and plasma visco...

OBJECTIVE To examine predictors and health outcomes for individuals reporting arthritis, chronic joint symptoms (CJS), or sporadic joint symptoms (SJS) compared to those without arthritis or joint symptoms. METHODS Data from the 2008 Canadian Community Health Survey (n = 63,134, ages ≥15 years) were used for the analyses. Respondents not reporting arthritis as a long-term chronic health condi...

In this work, we compare the applicability of three electron–water molecule pseudopotentials in modeling the physical properties of hydrated electrons. Quantum model calculations illustrate that the recently suggested Larsen–Glover–Schwartz (LGS) model and its modified m-LGS version have a too-attractive potential in the vicinity of the oxygen. As a result, LGS models predict a noncavity hydrat...

INTRODUCTION Human migration and the presence of natural vectors (mollusks) of Schistosoma mansoni are the primary causes of the expansion of mansoni schistosomiasis into southern areas of South America. Water conditions are favorable for the expansion of this disease because of the extensive hydrographic network, which includes the basins of the Paraná and Uruguay rivers and favors mollusk rep...

The occurrence of hypersensitivity reactions including rare but life-threatening Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (HSS) limits the use of the anticonvulsant carbamazepine (CBZ). Human leukocyte antigen-B (HLA)-B 15:02 and HLA-A 31:01 have been identified as predictive genetic markers for CBZ hypersensitivity in Asian and European patients. To replicate t...
