Leishmania braziliensis is the main etiologic agent of leishmaniasis in South America. A 9-year-old boy consulted for the presence of round, ulcerative lesions with raised borders that were painful and have appeared after a travel to Bolivia and Brazil. The culture for parasites showed leishmanias and the PCR was positive for L. braziliensis. The patient underwent treatment with itraconazol but...

We take for granted a world in which geographical borders lines separating physical spaces are of primary importance in determining legal rights and responsibilities. Territorial borders, generally speaking, delineate areas within which different sets of legal rules apply. There has until now been a general correspondence between borders drawn in physical space (between nation states or other p...

We report here a case of a woman with a cutaneous large B-cell lymphoma of the legs. She had a plaque lesion, superficially ulcerated and necrotized with tumorous borders situated on the posterior side of the right leg and two red or bluish-red nodular lesions. A skin biopsy from both nodular and plaque lesion showed a diffuse infiltrate of atypical large B cells CD20(+) and CD79a(+), spanning ...

Bordering processes take place through different means and are carried out by actors. Laws regulatory activities have a prominent among border-drawing instruments: Their capacity to mobilise actors, allocate funds, determine procedures remedies make them formidable multifaceted bordering tool. It is therefore not surprising notice that EU institutions heavily relied on tools when the need resor...

DLBCL: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma PBL: plasmablastic lymphoma PG: pyoderma gangrenosum INTRODUCTION Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an uncommon neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by the rapid development of painful, ill-defined ulcerations with undermined gun-metal gray borders. Although half of the cases are idiopathic, PG may be associated with inflammatory bowel disease, connective tissue...

Executive summary Introduction This annotated bibliography (preliminary version) provides an overview of the main works published in the study of border conflicts from different disciplinary contexts to both the project partners and the wider public. This bibliography forms the basis of the State of the Art report, to be published in July, which will critically review the existing works on (a) ...

BACKGROUND Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is an aggressive Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is able to transform B cells and is a causative infectious agent in BL. The precise role of EBV in lymphoma progression is still unclear. Most investigations have concentrated on cell autonomous functions of EBV in B cells. Functions of the local environment in BL progression have rarely been stud...

During an acute inflammatory response, endothelial P-selectin (CD62P) can mediate the initial capture of neutrophils from the free flowing bloodstream. P-selectin is stored in secretory granules (Weibel-Palade bodies) and is rapidly expressed on the endothelial surface after stimulation with histamine or thrombin. Because neutrophil transmigration occurs preferentially at endothelial borders, w...
