RSV explorations: using a case series focused on a single microbe to connect concepts across an undergraduate microbiology course by Chadene Tremaglio, Derek Dube

“…This four-part case series can be embedded across several units of a general microbiology course as individual “explorations,” and employs multiple, evidence-based pedagogical approaches including case-based learning, engaging with primary literature, jigsaw strategy, analysis of real-world data sets, and whole-class discussion. Each exploration is designed to cover or expand on key concepts in microbiology, including milestones in the history of the field, Koch’s postulates and the germ theory of disease, the discovery of viruses, virus structure and replication, clinical epidemiology, and vaccines. …”

Improving the Algorithm for the Management of Patients with Viral Hepatitis Using Contrast-Free Hepatic Arterial Spin Labelling Magnetic Resonance Perfusion by E. N. Simakina, T. G. Morozova

“…ASL MR perfusion in VH patients allows to predict fibrotic changes in the hepatic parenchyma (AUROC 0.934 (95% CI 0.845–0.957)), provides information about changes in blood flow in the parenchymal structure (p < 0.005). The algorithm for the examination of VH patients should include contrast-free ASL MR perfusion at admission (AUROC 0.865 (95% CI 0.843–0.928)) and in dynamic follow-up (AUROC 0.915 (95% CI 0.881–0.946)).…”

Clinical and pathological features of 10 cases of Fabry’s disease with renal damage by HE Juan, WANG Di, TIAN Xiu-juan, YU Yan, XU Guo-shuang

“…Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations and pathological features of the hereditary disease(Fabry’s disease)with renal damage.Methods The clinical manifestations,and laboratory tests and renal pathology data of 10 cases of Fabry’s disease,mainly relating to renal damage,were collected from Department of Nephrology,Affiliated Xijing Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from September 1997 to January 2020,and the clinical manifestations,pathological features,treatment and prognosis of Fabry’s disease were discussed.Results All the 10 patients were male,and aged 13～66 years with an average age of 28.6.Renal damage was characterized by proteinuria(9 cases,90%),microscopic hematuria(7 cases,70%),and decreased glomerular filtration rate(7 cases,70%),with 3 cases(30%)progressing to end-stage renal disease(ESRD).Outside the kidney,ventricular septal hypertrophy(3 cases,30%),skin rash(3 cases,30%),limb paresthesia(2 cases,20%),keratopathy(1 case,10%),and hearing loss(3 cases,30%)were found.The pathological manifestations of the kidney were diffused vacuolar degeneration and foam-like degeneration of podocytes observed under light microscope,partially accompanied by foam-like degeneration of renal tubular epithelial cells.Segmentalized or nodular sclerosis was observed in the glomeruli,which was easily misdiagnosed as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.Under electron microscope,the cytoplasm of tissue cells showed a large number of layered circular myelin sheath-like bodies and zebra bodies.Conclusions Fabry’s disease is common in young men,and renal damage is lack of specificity.Most of the manifestations are mild to moderate proteinuria and different degrees of renal insufficiency,and can progress to ESRD.Pathological examination of the kidney is of great significance.Osmiophilic myelin sheath-like inclusion body is its characteristic structure.Among extrarenal manifestations cardiac lesions are the most common.…”
