Tracheal Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour ALK+ as Cause of Dyspnea in a 10 Years Old Child.

Unlabelled: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours are rare lesions that could occur in airways. We report a 10 years old male who complains about dyspnea after physical exercise. Making CT and RMI images and a biopsy, we make an accurate diagnosis of an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour ALK+.

Lipoma Of The Internal Auditory Canal: An Uncommon Cause Of Unilateral Deafness And Dizziness.

Unlabelled: Lipomas inside the internal auditory canal are infrequent. We describe a 43 years old woman who complains about sudden unilateral deafness, tinnitus and dizziness. With CT and RMN we make a certain diagnosis of lipoma inside the internal auditory canal.

Isolation of Ovicidal Fungi from Fecal Samples of Captive Animals Maintained in a Zoological Park.

There are certain saprophytic fungi in the soil able to develop an antagonistic effect against eggs of parasites. Some of these fungal species are ingested by animals during grazing, and survive in their feces after passing through the digestive tract. To identify and isolate ovicidal fungi in the feces of wild captive animals, a total of 60 fecal samples were taken from different wild animals kept captive in the Marcelle Natureza Zoological Park (Lugo, Spain).

Risk factors of non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis in children: a case-control study.

Unlabelled: The aim of the present study is to clarify the association between environmental exposures and non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lymphadenitis, during the last decade, in a population of children. In children up to 14 years of age in a pediatric tertiary hospital, all cases of NTM lymphadenopathy with a specific microbiological diagnosis, from January 2004 to January 2015, were reviewed. This is a case-control study (1:5 proportion), in which the prevalence of environmental factors between cases and controls was compared by means of a multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Analysis of the effect of soil saprophytic fungi on the eggs of Baylisascaris procyonis.

Baylisascaris procyonis is a soil-transmitted helminth mainly found in raccoons (Procyon lotor) which can also affect other domestic and sylvatic animals, as well as humans, when the eggs released in the feces of parasitized raccoons are accidentally ingested. Three assays have been conducted to assess the effect of three saprophytic fungi, Mucor circinelloides, Paecilomyces lilacinus, and Verticillium sp., on the eggs of B.
