Complete genome sequence of strain TAMA-11512, isolated from blood culture of a septic patient.

We report the complete sequence of species strain TAMA-11512, isolated from the blood culture of a septic patient. The phylogeny and average nucleotide identity show that the strain TAMA-11512 is considered a novel bacterial species in genus.

Disseminated tuberculosis following invasive procedures for peripancreatic lymph node tuberculosis with portal vein obstruction: a case report.

Peripancreatic tuberculous lymphadenopathy can mimic pancreatic cancer on imaging. There have only a few reports on varices from portal vein obstruction due to abdominal tuberculous lymphadenopathy. Iatrogenic disseminated tuberculosis is also rare.

Islet amyloid with macrophage migration correlates with augmented β-cell deficits in type 2 diabetic patients.

Aims: Islet amyloid is a hallmark in type 2 diabetic subjects, but its implication in clinical features and development of islet pathology is still unclear.

Methods: From 118 autopsy cases with type 2 diabetes, 26 cases with islet amyloid deposition (DA+) were selected. Twenty diabetic subjects without obvious amyloid deposition (DA-) matched for the age and diabetes duration and 20 non-diabetic subjects (ND) served for comparison.
