IMPORTANCE AND RELEVANCE TO EDCTP2 Despite considerable ongoing efforts in the development of tools to combat tuberculosis (TB), the disease was responsible for approximately 1.6 million deaths, with 10 million people developing the disease worldwide in 2017 (1). An estimated one million children

Oligo-Fucoidan, a heparin-like molecule with high percentages of L-fucose and sulfated ester groups and low percentages of D-xylose, D-galactose, D-mannose, and glucuronic acid, was present in the cell wall matrix of brown seaweed. Brown seaweed Oligo-Fucoidan was reported to demonstrate various

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most common cause of cancer death worldwide, estimated to be responsible for 610,000 deaths in 20081. The number of CRC patients is concomitantly increasing due to a higher incidence, population growth, aging of the population and the recently established

This study is a single center, open-label, within patient's tissue ex vivo comparative study of Lymphoseek (Lymphoseek (Technetium Tc 99m Tilmanocept) is a radiotracer that accumulates in lymphatic tissue by binding to a mannose binding receptor that resides on the surface of dendritic cells and

Transplant candidates with HLA alloantibodies are at high risk for antibody mediated rejection (AMR), graft failure, and acute rejection (1,2). In heart transplantation, these complications lead to death. The 50% calculated panel reactive antibody, CPRA, threshold is chosen from a consensus

In patients with primary melanoma and breast cancer, lymph node status is often a strong predictor of outcome and influences the course of treatment a patient may follow after surgery. In an effort to reduce the morbidity and costs of detection of lymph node metastases, surgical oncologists have

OBJECTIVES: Primary - Determine the safety and tolerability of recombinant human mannose-binding lectin (MBL) in pediatric patients with MBL deficiency and fever and neutropenia who are undergoing cytotoxic chemotherapy for hematological/oncological disease. - Determine the pharmacokinetics of this

Considerable interest has recently been generated on dietary fibers (DF), and soluble fibers have emerged both as a subject for research and therapeutic applications. The 'fiber hypothesis', put forward by Denis Bukitt and Hugh Trowel (1-4), suggests that consumption of unrefined carbohydrate food

In patients with primary melanoma and breast cancer, lymph node status is often a strong predictor of outcome and influences the course of treatment a patient may follow after surgery. In an effort to reduce the morbidity and costs of detection of lymph node metastases, surgical oncologists have

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a parallel, follow up study of a natural history study. Patients are stratified according to ethnicity (Caucasian vs African-American vs Hispanic). Patients are examined at baseline and then every 6 months thereafter in order to determine the relative impact of genetic,

Innate immunity plays an important role for fungal recognition and initiation of fungicidal activity. We hypothesize that subtle differences in different molecules of innate immunity may contribute to either the predisposition or clinical course of infection with Blastomycosis Dermatitidis. To test

Innate immunity plays an important role for fungal recognition and initiation of fungicidal activity. We hypothesize that subtle differences in different molecules of innate immunity may contribute to either the predisposition or clinical course of infection with Cryptococcus neoformans. To test
