A critical unmet need for the study of obesity-linked cancer is the lack of preclinical models that spontaneously develop obesity and cancer sequentially. Prohibitin (PHB) is a pleiotropic protein that has a role in adipose and immune functions. We capitalized on this attribute of PHB to develop a
Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas are common lesions, related to chronic smoking and drinking behaviors. But in contrast to other cancers, effect of obesity on occurrence, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of these tumors remains to date unknown. This is a retrospective review of 111 obese
Tuberculosis of organs other than the lung may occur after an intestinal bypass operation for morbid obesity, with an incidence varying from 1% to 4%, a value rather higher than that of the general population. As its clinical symptoms (fever and chills, abundant sweating and an increase or return of
Fas and TNFRI, two members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family with an intracellular death domain, each play critical roles in apoptotic death of lymphocytes and certain other cell types. We determined the overlapping functions of Fas and TNFRI by breeding non-obese diabetic (NOD) mutant
BACKGROUND
The accurate preoperative evaluation of endometrial cancer is needed to inform disease staging, but the evaluation may be more prone to error if the physical signs of advanced stage disease are difficult to appreciate in morbidly obese patients.
METHODS
A morbidly obese (BMI = 56.9 kg/m2)
Various therapeutic strategies have been developed to tolerize autoreactive T cells and prevent autoimmune pathology in type 1 diabetes. 4-1BB, a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, is a costimulatory receptor primarily expressed on activated T cells. The administration
BACKGROUND
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease, or histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is a rare, benign, autoimmune condition characterized by lymphadenopathy, fever and neutropenia. It is a self-limited condition of unknown etiology.
METHODS

A 52-year-old, nonsmoking, African-American woman with a history of obesity, hypertension, and rheumatoid arthritis was referred for workup of multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules. The pulmonary nodules were discovered incidentally while undergoing a CT scan for an abdominal mass that was
BACKGROUND
There is growing literature on the use of ultrasound (US) for evaluation of Crohn disease in adults, but few studies have been conducted on children. Several studies demonstrated high accuracy of US in the diagnosis of Crohn disease. Using US as the primary screening imaging modality for
Erysipelas is an acute dermo-hypodermal infection (non necrotizing) of bacterial origin, mainly group A beta-haemolytic streptococcus. The lower limbs are affected in more than 80% of the cases and the identified risk factors are disruption of cutaneous barrier, lymphoedema and obesity. Diagnosis is
A 60-years-old man, smoker, with bipolar disorder and history of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, presented with a 5-days fever (38°C) and cough. His physical examination revealed exertional dyspnea and polypnea; saturation was 95% room air. He came from a protected nurse residence where some
Follicular carcinoma of the thyroid is a relatively rare malignancy in childhood even in paediatric solid organ transplant recipients. The risk of developing de novo malignancies after liver transplantation is higher compared to the general population. We report an 18-yr-old girl who had
The lesser omentum between the left lobe of the liver and the aorta at the level of the celiac axis harbors the left gastric vein and artery, lymphatics, nerves, and some fatty tissue. In one study, it was found to be thickened in most of 50 children with portal hypertension, but normal values were
A 24-year-old African American female (L.R.) with a history of smoking and gestational diabetes was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. She received multiple chemotherapies, including six cycles of ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine), followed by radiation therapy to left
