It has been shown that detection of HBc-antigen in the organ tissue requires the use of a complex of the morphologic methods: histologic, immunohistochemical and electron microscopic. Ultrastructurally, the eosinophilic material in hepatocytic nuclei appears as flocks of electron dense granules 27 nm in size and produces intensive fluorescence with antiserum to HBc-antigen, all this pointing to the presence of deep antigen in the organ tissue. The patients with chronic active hepatitis and active liver cirrhosis associated with the presence of HBc-antigen in the blood serum demonstrates accumulation of both the surface and deep antigen by hepatocytes. Morphologically, the surface antigen is shown by ground glass-hepatocytes, whereas the deep one by "sand nuclei".

Background: Breast cancer is the leading cause of female cancer mortality worldwide, accounting for 1 in 6 cancer deaths. Surgery, radiation, and systemic therapy are the three pillars of breast cancer treatment, with several strategies developed to combine them. The association of preoperative radiotherapy with immunotherapy may improve breast cancer tumor control by exploiting the tumor radio-induced immune priming.

Incorporating Perineorrhaphy into the LeFort Colpocleisis: A Modified Surgical Approach.

Int Urogynecol J

January 2025

Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, Yale School of Medicine, 333 Cedar Street, New Haven, CT, 06511, USA.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Perineorrhaphy with levator myorrhaphy is considered a standard part of colpocleisis. Typically, this is done through a separate incision after colpocleisis is completed. We present a video to demonstrate a modified approach to LeFort colpocleisis incorporating perineorrhaphy into the procedure.

Studies of the aging transcriptome focus on genes that change with age. But what can we learn from age-invariant genes-those that remain unchanged throughout the aging process? These genes also have a practical application: they can serve as reference genes in expression studies. Reference genes have mostly been identified and validated in young organisms, and no systematic investigation has been done across the lifespan.

Context: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by the presence of autoantibodies on a genetic background largely determined by HLA class II haplotypes. Stage 1 T1D is characterized by the presence of multiple autoantibodies and normoglycemia.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of high-risk HLA-DQB1 haplotypes and the extent of islet autoimmunity in pancreatic tissues from non-diabetic organ donors with autoantibodies.
