Lipoxin Inhibits Fungal Uptake by Macrophages and Reduces the Severity of Acute Pulmonary Infection Caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis by Laura R. R. Ribeiro, Flávio V. Loures, Eliseu F. de Araújo, Cláudia Feriotti, Tânia A. Costa, Carlos Henrique Serezani, Sonia Jancar, Vera L. G. Calich

“…Because the role played by these mediators in paracoccidioidomycosis was not investigated, we aimed to characterize the role of CysLT in the pulmonary infection developed by resistant (A/J) and susceptible (B10.A) mice. 48 h after infection, elevated levels of pulmonary LTC4 and LXA4 were produced by both mouse strains, but higher levels were found in the lungs of susceptible mice. Blocking the CysLTs receptor by MTL reduced fungal loads in B10.A, but not in A/J mice. …”

Possible Role of Large Fluid Intake in Delaying Formation of Encrustations and, thereby, Prolonging Working Life of Memokath Stent for Nearly 14 Years in a Spinal Cord Injury Patie... by Subramanian Vaidyanathan, Bakul M. Soni, Peter L. Hughes, Gupreet Singh

“…This case is also a reminder to health professionals that if a tetraplegic patient, in whom a Memokath stent has been deployed for treatment of detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia, presents with autonomic dysreflexia, encrustations blocking the lumen of the stent or calculus formation around the stent should be considered as possible reasons for autonomic dysreflexia.…”
