Prevalence of malnutrition in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) varies between 16% and 75%. Data on the nutritional status at initial diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's Disease (CD) are scarce. It is believed that more than 50% of IBD patients suffer significant weight loss prior to diagnosis. The aims of our study were to assess malnutrition in patients recently diagnosed with IBD and to determine its predictive factors.We retrospectively included 625 IBD patients registered in the Romanian " ...

Basophils are white blood cells that play an important role in the human immune system. These cells physiologically increase in number in immune response to certain allergies, chronic inflammation and parasitic infections. But are also a significant indicator for the presence of certain malignancies such as chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms and acute myeloid leukemia. In the current manuscript we present a statistically significant correlation between increasing basophilia in primary myelofibrosis ( ...

Abstract Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a Ph‐negative myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), characterized by advanced bone marrow fibrosis and extramedullary haematopoiesis. The bone marrow fibrosis results from excessive proliferation of fibroblasts that are influenced by several cytokines in the microenvironment, of which transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) is the most important. Micromechanics related to the niche has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we hypothesized that mechanical stress modulates ...

One of the most important questions in microbiology nowadays, is how apparently harmless, commensal yeasts like Candida spp. can cause a rising number of infections. The occurrence of the disease requires firstly the attachment to the host cells, followed by the invasion of the tissue. The adaptability translates into a rapid ability to respond to stress factors, to take up nutrients or to multiply under different conditions. By forming complex intracellular networks such as biofilms, Candida spp. ...

Reconstruction techniques are difficult taking into account the anatomical structures surrounding the clavicle. When chest wall defects are present, ...
