Journal ArticleDOI

The value of specific MRI features in the evaluation of suspected placental invasion

TL;DR: MRI can be a useful adjunct to ultrasound in diagnosing placenta accreta prenatally and three features that are seen on MRI in patients with placental invasion appear to be useful for diagnosis: uterine bulging; heterogeneous signal intensity within theplacenta; and the presence of dark intraplacental bands on T2W imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lessons from the Ebola Outbreak: Action Items for Emerging Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response

TL;DR: Key lessons learned from the Ebola outbreak can be clustered into three areas: environmental conditions related to early warning systems, host characteristics related to public health, and agent issues that can be addressed through the laboratory sciences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glucan Is a Component of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Surface That Is Expressed In Vitro and In Vivo

TL;DR: An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay indicated that GC is antigenically similar to glycogen, and the amount of GC antigen increased in the media of M. tuberculosis cultures grown either with or without the detergent Tween 80.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis arabinomannan antigen in vitro and in vivo.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the surface expression of AM during in vitro growth changes with culture age, is strain dependent, and is affected by the presence of Tween 80 in the culture media, and show that AM is produced by bacteria growth in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antigenic Evidence of Prevalence and Diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Arabinomannan

TL;DR: The results indicate that AM was detected in all M. tuberculosis strains tested, with differences in epitope distributions of certain strains, and suggest that an experimental AM-rEPA vaccine has a moderate effect on the numbers of CFU in organs early after infection.
