Alpha-gal allergy is the sensitization to Alpha-gal present in saliva when a tick bites and the development of an IgE-mediated reaction to Alpha-gal also present in red meat by cross-reactivity. In contrast to other food allergies, symptoms occur as late as 2-6 hours after a meal. Prick to prick testing with nonmammalian meat in combination with cooked mammalian meat is recommended for diagnosis. However, the main diagnostic test is Alpha-gal sIgE> 0.1 IU/mL. The primary recommendation in patients with Alpha-gal syndrome is to prevent new tick bites and avoid all mammalian meats...

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUSTBNA) is a minimally invasive diagnostic tool used for the evaluation of mediastinal lymphadenopathy. It is a safe procedure, but complications such as bleeding and infection may occur. We report a case of a patient who developed a subcutaneous abscess abscess and mediastinitis after EBUSTBNA. A 75-year-old male with a history of right nephrectomy due to renal cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma history underwent EBUS-TBNA for the evaluation of a right upper paratracheal lymph node...

Endobronchial solitary papillomas are extremely rare lung neoplasms originating from the bronchial surface epithelium. They often present with cough or recurrent hemoptysis. These tumors are benign, but they should be followed closely because they may even have a low probability of malignant transformation features. It should be kept in mind that malignancy may develop especially if the patient is a smoker. Although the etiology is not known for certain, it is thought to be caused by human papillomavirus in some cases...

Over the past two decades, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) has become a crucial tool for diagnosing pulmonary diseases. The most common indication of EBUS usage is the diagnosis and staging of lung cancer. Additionally, there have been significant improvements in the application of convex probe EBUS in line with the increase in experience and knowledge about EBUS and the developments in medicine and technology. To enhance diagnostic accuracy and acquire larger tissue samples, techniques such as cryo-biopsy guided by endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and intranodal forceps biopsy have been developed...

BACKGROUND: Linezolid is evaluated in novel treatment regimens for tuberculous meningitis (TBM). Linezolid pharmacokinetics have not been characterized in this population, particularly in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) where exposures may be affected by changes in protein concentration. Linezolid co-administration with high-dose rifampicin, has also not been studied. We aimed to characterize linezolid plasma and CSF pharmacokinetics in adults with TBM. METHODS: In LASER-TBM pharmacokinetic-substudy, the intervention groups received high-dose rifampicin (35mg/kg) plus linezolid 1200mg/day for 28days, then reduced to 600mg/day...

BACKGROUND: Interferon-γ release assays (IGRAs), which are widely used to diagnose tuberculosis (TB), cannot effectively discriminate latent TB infection (LTBI) from active TB (ATB). This study aimed to identify potential antigen-specific biomarkers for differentiating LTBI cases from ATB cases. METHODS: Ongoing recruitment was conducted of individuals meeting study inclusion criteria at Beijing Chest Hospital from May 2020-April 2022; 208 participants were enrolled and assigned to three groups: HC (60 healthy controls), LTBI (52 subjects with LTBI) and ATB (96 active TB patients)...

BACKGROUND: Various factors influence tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) decisions thus it is important to understand the health beliefs and concerns of patients before starting TPT to ensure treatment compliance. This study aims to explore facilitators and barriers for TPT among patients diagnosed with Latent Tuberculosis infection (LTBI) attending six primary healthcare clinics in Selangor, Malaysia. METHOD: In-depth interviews were conducted face-to-face or via telephone among patients with a clinical diagnosis of LTBI using a semi-structured topic guide developed based on the common-sense model of self-regulation and literature review...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Samuel John Moody, Leann Johnson, Thomas Moody
Mycobacterium kansasii is one of the the most common non-tuberculous mycobacteria responsible for opportunistic human infection. Unlike M. tuberculosis , transmission remains poorly understood; spread is assumed to be from a shared geographical source, such as domestic plumbing, and human-to-human transmission is generally not considered by clinicians when evaluating patients and their environments. We describe M. kansasii infection in a husband and wife in the same household and in the same period, suggesting, in these cases, that transmission occurred directly from one patient to the other...

JOURNAL ARTICLE

The first step in gene expression is the transcription of DNA sequences into RNA. Regulation at the level of transcription leads to changes in steady-state concentrations of RNA transcripts, affecting the flux of downstream functions and ultimately cellular phenotypes. Changes in transcript levels are routinely followed in cellular contexts via genome-wide sequencing techniques. However, in vitro mechanistic studies of transcription have lagged with respect to throughput. Here, we describe the use of a real-time, fluorescent-aptamer-based method to quantitate steady-state transcription rates of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis RNA polymerase...

Solid particles ≤5 μm are essential to allow lower lung deposition and macrophage phagocytosis of anti-tubercular drug. Decorating liquid nanoemulsion of anti-tubercular drug with macrophage-specific chitosan and chitosan-folate conjugate and spray drying the nanoemulsion with lactose produced oversized solid particles due to polysaccharide binding effects. This study designed solid nanoemulsion using lactose as the primary solid carrier and explored additives and spray-drying variables to reduce the binding and particle growth effects of chitosan...
