Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is a form of chronic inflammatory process with collection foamy macrophages in sheets, often presence giant cell reaction. Here, we present case xanthogranulomatous osteomyelitis tibia 43 years old patient, which rare pathological entity and possibly was reported first 1984. The histopathological sections revealed dense lympho-plasmacytic infiltrate the marrow s...

Atherosclerosis, the leading cause of cardiovascular disease, is characterized by chronic inflammation in the artery wall. It has been considered for decades that this disease is associated with hypercholesterolemia and the accumulation of macrophage-derived foamy cells in the arterial wall. While inflammation is involved in initiation, progression, and complication of the atherosclerotic proce...

Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) agonistic screams are graded vocal signals that are produced in a context-specific manner. Screams given by aggressors and victims can be discriminated based on their acoustic structure but the mechanisms of listener comprehension of these calls are currently unknown. In this study, we show that chimpanzees extract social information from these vocal signals that, c...

Human foamy virus can establish persistent infections in human hematopoietic cell lines, such as H92.1.7 (erythroblastoid cells), Jurkat (CD4+ T cells), and U937 (myeloid-monocytic cells). The infection is characterized by constant production of infectious viruses (for > 2 1/2 years) with no cytopathic effects on the host cells. Electron microscopy of the infected cells showed a viral morpholog...

Foam-based materials are promising micro-structured materials with interesting thermal and acoustical properties. The control of the material morphology requires counteracting all the destabilizing mechanisms during their production, starting with the drainage process, which remains to be understood in the case of the complex fluids that are commonly used to be foamed. Here we perform measureme...

In the current issue of Infection and Immunity, Caire-Brändli and coworkers (Infect. Immun. 82:476-490, 2014, doi:10.1128/IAI.01196-13) describe a novel cell system for studying mycobacterial interactions with foamy macrophages and provide a magnificent series of electron microscopy-based observations providing major insight into the microbiology and cell biology of these interactions.

The article presents the relevance of development new technologies and formulations food products with a foamy structure. kinetics moisture sorption fruits vegetables subjected to hydrothermal mechanical processing at various partial vapor pressures in environment has been studied. Calculations hygroscopic characteristics fruit vegetable stabilizers have made. Such parameters monolayer as conce...
