Various organs and tumors from AKR and hybrid mice and leukcmic cells grown in tissue culture were studied by electron microscopy. Only spleen and thymus were examined in fetuses and newborn mice. In adults, solid tumors, lymph nodes, and ascites cells were also studied. AKR mice dying of spontaneous leukemia showed typical virus particles (Types A and C) in their lymph nodes. No virus particle...

Background. Mitochondrial DNA (MT-DNA) are intrinsically inflammatory nucleic acids released by damaged solid organs. Whether circulating cell-free MT-DNA quantitation could be used to predict the risk of poor COVID-19 outcomes remains undetermined.

Tissue engineering has emerged at the intersection of numerous disciplines to meet a global clinical need for technologies to promote the regeneration of functional living tissues and organs. The complexity of many tissues and organs, coupled with confounding factors that may be associated with the injury or disease underlying the need for repair, is a challenge to traditional engineering appro...

The 2020 data of the Turkish Society Nephrology reveals that number patients receiving hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis treatment in Turkey is 63,945.1 According to registered Transplantation Dialysis Monitoring System (TDIS), waiting for solid organs 23,923. used was 1,059 out 1,391 brain death cases declared 2020.2 While organ transplantation could be performed 4.42% enrolled TDIS, 95.58%...

Introduction:In this work, 153Sm-zoledronate (153Sm-ZLD) was studied using computational chemistry methods and prepared for possible use in bone pain palliation therapy. Methods: The Sm(ZLD)2.7H2O complex was synthesized and characterized in solid state using computational chemistry methods followed by 153...

This study analyzes the waiting lines for solid organ transplants in Brazil's Unified National Health System. By using a queuing theory model, we estimate the waiting times for different organs under alternative scenarios. The model reveals the elasticity of various waiting times with respect to arrival and service rates for organ transplantation within the system. Average waiting time for a so...

Scedosporium spp. are saprobic fungi that cause serious infections in immunocompromised hosts and in near-drowning victims. Solid organ transplant recipients are at increased risk of scedosporiosis as they require aggressive immunosuppression to prevent allograft rejection. We present a case of disseminated Scedosporium apiospermum infection occurring in the recipient of a combined kidney and l...

For infection of animals control-cultures from the sensitivity tests were used. These were always the first subcultures on solid egg medium about four weeks old. The cultures were resistant to isoniazid, but susceptible to streptomycin, para-aminosalicylic acid and conteben. They were weighed wet, suspended in normal saline and injected subcutaneously in the right inguinal region. The guinea pi...

Breast cancer is a leading cause of death for women, with mortality resulting from metastasis. Metastases are often detected once tumour cells affect the function of solid organs, with a high disease burden limiting effective treatment. Here we report a method for the early detection of metastasis using an implanted scaffold to recruit and capture metastatic cells in vivo, which achieves high c...
