to detect the virus and determine the amount of the viral RNA in the medium. Cells and supernatants of the 3 passages were virus positive, and the control inoculated with phosphatebuffered saline was virus negative. However, with each passage, the amount of viral RNA in the medium decreased. Whether the positive result was caused by residual viruses of the initial inoculation or by the decrease...

Whipple disease (WD) is a rare multisystemic infection with a protean clinical presentation. The central nervous system (CNS) is involved in 3 situations: CNS involvement in classic WD, CNS relapse in previously treated WD, and isolated CNS infection. We retrospectively analyzed clinical features, diagnostic workup, brain imaging, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) study, treatment, and follow-up data i...

Abstract The therapeutic usage of EUS is being developed. EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUSBD) a recognized viable replacement for percutaneous transhepatic (PTBD) in severe cases with the obstructive disease having ERCP failure due to cannulation or those surgically altered anatomies, such as hepatico-jejunal anastomosis following Billroth II reconstruction, Roux-en-Y limb, Whipple procedure, g...

solid pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas (spt) are rare tumors of the pancreas with low malignancy potential and a very good prognostic outcome after surgery. the outcome after radical resection is favourable. a case of solid-pseudopapillary tumor (spt) of the pancreas in a 20-year-old woman is presented. the patient underwent resection of the mass in the pancreatic head and pancreaticoduod...

The bacterium Tropheryma whipplei, which causes Whipple disease in humans, is commonly detected in the feces of persons in Africa. It is also associated with acute infections. We investigated the role of T. whipplei in febrile patients from 2 rural villages in Senegal. During June 2010-March 2012, we collected whole-blood finger-prick samples from 786 febrile and 385 healthy villagers. T. whipp...

Slightly more than 30 years ago, Whipple detection of the Crab Nebula was start Very High Energy gamma-ray astronomy. Since then, observations this source have continued to provide new surprises and challenges theories, with fast variability, pulsed emission up unexpectedly high energy, very recent photons energy exceeding 1 PeV. In article, we review impact on our understanding extraordinary a...
