Endothelium Activation during Severe Yellow Fever Triggers an Intense Cytokine-Mediated Inflammatory Response in the Liver Parenchyma.

Yellow fever (YF) is a pansystemic disease caused by the yellow fever virus (YFV), the prototype species of the family and genus , and has a highly complex host-pathogen relationship, in which endothelial dysfunction reflects viral disease tropism. In this study, the in situ endothelial response was evaluated. Liver tissue samples were collected from 21 YFV-positive patients who died due to the disease and five flavivirus-negative controls who died of other causes and whose hepatic parenchyma architecture was preserved.

Cystic angiomatosis, pleural effusion and multiple bone lesions mimicking a metastatic malignant neoplasia: a case report.

Background: We report a case of a patient with a rare clinical condition: cystic angiomatosis presenting as pleural effusion and multiple bone lesions mimicking a metastatic malignant neoplasia. With only about 50 such cases published in the literature, it is important to report the clinical presentation and proposed treatment and to share information about the clinical evolution in these patients.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a 45-year-old white man who presented to our hospital with ventilator-dependent pain.

Complete Remission of Recurrent Retroperitoneal Liposarcoma after the Administration of Gemcitabine and Docetaxel as First-Line Adjuvant Chemotherapy: A Case Report.

Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is a rare type of cancer. Relapse after surgery is frequent, and relapsing tumors tend to be more aggressive and less differentiated each episode, worsening the prognosis. This report describes the case of a 42-year-old female diagnosed with retroperitoneal liposarcoma after complete tumor resection.

Copaiba oil influences ventral hernia repair with Vicryl® mesh?

Background: The use of meshes in hernia surgical repair promoted revolution in the surgical area; however, some difficulties had come, such as a large area of fibrosis, greater postoperative pain and risk of infection. The search for new substances that minimize these effects should be encouraged. Medicinal plants stand out due possible active ingredients that can act on these problems.

Anatomo-clinical and molecular description of liver neotropical echinococcosis caused by Echinococcus oligarthrus in human host.

Since humans rarely play the role as Echinococcus oligarthrus host, there is lack of knowledge about the complex infectious process. Only three cases have been reported to occur in humans in the neotropics until now. We present the anatomo-clinical and molecular findings describing a new case of infection by E.

[Polycystic echinococcosis in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon: an update].

By means of epidemiological and clinical-laboratorial approaches was consolidated an update of polycystic echinococcosis in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon, period from 1962 to 2003, including unpublished cases and those already published. In that way, they were identified 40 cases of the disease in referred period, understanding cases coming from the States of Pará and Amapá, Brazil. The width of the ages went from 10 to 72 years and 47.
