Comparison of Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Pre-mature Infants vs. Term-Born Infants With Congenital Heart Disease.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious illness that occurs among premature infants and term-born infants with congenital heart disease (CHD).

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis: a review and update of histologic findings.

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HSP) is a poorly understood entity typically caused by exposure to an inciting antigen such as fungi, thermophilic bacteria or animal protein. Clinically, HSP is often divided into acute, subacute and chronic forms. While the subacute form is best described from a pathologic standpoint, the pathology of chronic HSP has only been critically evaluated in the past decade and the pathology of acute HSP is poorly described.
