Primary inferior vena cava (IVC) tumors are rare. Most are leiomyosarcomas. The prognosis is poor with those involving and superior to the hepatic veins faring worse than those isolated within the retrohepatic cava.

- Trauma and infections trigger emergency granulopoiesis, which leads to an increase of immature granulocytes in the blood during severe conditions like sepsis, but their effectiveness as biomarkers is limited due to mixed disease severity responses.
- * A study was conducted comparing sepsis patients to those with SIRS, using techniques like flow cytometry and gene expression assays to analyze granulocyte populations and their developmental stages.
- * Results showed that immature granulocyte precursor counts were higher in sepsis but didn't correlate with disease severity, and that low-density granulocytes had a significantly greater number of precursors compared to high-density granulocytes.
Introduction: A challenge confronting health care is the national physician shortage, notably impacting the DoD's recruitment of military physicians. To address this, the Health Professions Scholarship Program is annually awarded to medical students to facilitate their transition into the U.S.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFVirus-specific antibodies are crucial for protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2. Assessing functional antibodies through conventional or pseudotyped virus neutralisation tests (pVNT) requires high biosafety levels. Alternatively, the virus-free surrogate virus neutralisation test (sVNT) quantifies antibodies interfering with spike binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2.
