Article Synopsis
- - Persistent exposure to antigens leads to the development of exhausted T cells, which are less effective in responding to threats, and this phenomenon typically occurs during chronic infections and cancer, raising questions about its role in autoimmune diabetes.
- - In a study using nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, exhausted CD8+ T cells targeting the islet antigen IGRP were found in the pancreas, while more of these cells were preserved in peripheral lymphoid organs.
- - By creating transgenic NOD mice that express IGRP in cells outside the islet, researchers showed that exposure to IGRP in these extraislet areas resulted in severely exhausted T cells, which ultimately protected the mice from developing diabetes.
Introduction: Abdominal auscultation is a part of the clinical examination of patients, but the determining factors in bowel sound evaluation are poorly described. The aim of this study was to assess inter- and intra-observer agreement in physicians' evaluation of pitch, intensity and quantity in abdominal auscultation.
Material And Methods: A total of 100 physicians were presented with 20 bowel sound recordings in a blinded set-up.
