Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a rare disease occurring mainly in immunocompromised patients. Currently, there steady increase the number of patients with oncohematological diseases, autoimmune pathology, requiring new highly effective immunosuppressive therapy, however, HIV infection remains one main reasons for development immunosuppression. Despite progress made studying issues re...

To examine risk for mycosis among persons with silicosis, we examined US mortality data for 1979-2004. Persons with silicosis were more likely to die with pulmonary mycosis than were those without pneumoconiosis or those with more common pneumoconioses. Health professionals should consider enhanced risk for mycosis for silica-exposed patients.

GMF: granulomatous mycosis fungoides INF-a: interferon alfa MF: mycosis fungoides TCR: T-cell receptor G ranulomatous mycosis fungoides (GMF) is an unusual histologic subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The diagnosis of GMF is usually established after observation of a granulomatous inflammatory reaction associated with a malignant lymphoid infiltrate. Epidermotropism, a clue to diagnosis in ...

background human t-cell lymphotropic virus types ι and ιι (htlv-ι and htlv-ii) are deltaretroviruses which may cause leukemia, lymphoma and htlv-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (ham/tsp). in addition, htlv-1 may be related to thalassemia and hemophilia cases after blood transfusion. objectives the aim of this study was evaluation of the prevalence of htlvs in patients with he...

Drug development is a key point in the research of new therapeutic treatments for increasing maximum drug loading and prolonged drug effect. Encapsulation of drugs into multivesicular liposomes (DepoFoam) is a nanotechnology that allow deliver of the active constituent at a sufficient concentration during the entire treatment period. This guarantees the reduction of drug administration frequenc...

mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the main causative factors in a wide variety of complications such as neurodegenerative disorders, ischemia/reperfusion, aging process, and septic shock. decrease in respiratory complex activity, increase in free radical production, increase in mitochondrial synthase activity, increase in nitric oxide production, and impair in electron transport system and/or...

years since I had the honour to read before this Society a Paper on " Mycosis Fungoides," and as two examples of that c?niparatively rare disease have been recently under my care the Royal Infirmary, I desire to bring these under its n?tice. One, because it exhibits an unusual phase ; the other, as quite remarkable results have followed somewhat prolonged e?cPosure to the X-rays. During these y...

air pollution is a major concern of new civilized world, which has a serious toxicological impact on human health and the environment. it has a number of different emission sources, but motor vehicles and industrial processes contribute the major part of air pollution.according to the world health organization, six major air pollutants include particle pollution, ground?level ozone, carbon mono...

The association of mycosis fungoides and a primary cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorder has been reported and probably represents different clinical aspects of a unique T-cell monoclonal expansion. In this study, 12 patients (6 men and 6 women) presented with lymphomatoid papulosis and mycosis fungoides. A TCRgamma gene rearrangement study was performed by an automated high-resolution P...
