BACKGROUND Acute appendicitis with appendicial endometriosis is a very infrequently encountered condition during pregnancy. Decidualization is the hypertrophy of endometrial stromal cells by the effect of progesterone. Similarly, in pregnancy, ectopic stromal endometrial cells in endometriosis can also be transformed by the same mechanism and ectopic decidua (deciduosis) may occur. CASE Here ...

The bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes causes serious food-borne illnesses in pregnant women and the immunocompromised. L. monocytogenes promotes its internalization into host epithelial cells and then uses an F-actin-dependent motility process to spread from infected cells to surrounding healthy cells. In cultured enterocytes, efficient spread of L. monocytogenes requires the secreted b...

Methods: Data from patients who underwent laparoscopy or laparotomyfor treatment were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical and outcomes with compared according applied approach. Results: mean largest diameter laparotomy groups similar (p = 0.520). day for total antibiotic u...

Pulmonary meningothelial-like nodules (MLNs) are usually detected incidentally during pathologic evaluation of resected pulmonary parenchymal specimens and autopsies. These nodules are generally asymptomatic and most often single. Diffuse pulmonary involvement by MLNs is less frequently described. MLNs are benign lesions and have been associated with neoplastic and non-neoplastic pulmonary cond...

We present a malware detection approach by focusing on the characteristic behaviors of human users. We explore the human-malware differences and utilize them to aid the detection of infected hosts. There are two main research challenges in this study: one is how to select characteristic behavior features, and the other is how to prevent malware forgeries. We address both questions in this paper...
