Journal ArticleDOI
Lymphoid organ development: from ontogeny to neogenesis
TL;DR: The development of lymphoid organs can be viewed as a continuum, including lymph nodes and spleen, which are genetically 'preprogrammed' and 'prepatterned' during ontogeny, whereas tertiary lymphoids organs arise under environmental influences and are not restricted to specific developmental 'windows' or anatomic locations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of rifaximin in patients with abdominal bloating and flatulence.
TL;DR: Rifaximin is a safe and effective treatment for abdominal bloating and flatulence, including in IBS patients, and symptom improvement correlates with reduction in H2-breath excretion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of existing clinical scoring systems to predict persistent organ failure in patients with acute pancreatitis.
Rawad Mounzer,Christopher J. Langmead,Bechien U. Wu,Anna C. Evans,Faraz Bishehsari,Venkata Muddana,Vikesh K. Singh,Adam Slivka,David C. Whitcomb,Dhiraj Yadav,Peter A. Banks,Georgios I. Papachristou,Georgios I. Papachristou +12 more
TL;DR: The existing scoring systems seem to have reached their maximal efficacy in predicting persistent organ failure in acute pancreatitis, and 12 predictive rules that combined these scores to optimize predictive accuracy are developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revised Atlanta and Determinant-Based Classification: Application in a Prospective Cohort of Acute Pancreatitis Patients
Haq Nawaz,Rawad Mounzer,Dhiraj Yadav,Jonathan Yabes,Adam Slivka,David C. Whitcomb,Georgios I. Papachristou +6 more
TL;DR: Atlanta 2012 and DBC severity categories accurately reflected clinical outcomes in the authors' cohort and were superior to Atlanta 1992, which can guide the selection of homogeneous patient populations for clinical research and provide an accurate spectrum of disease severity categories in the clinical setting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tertiary Lymphoid Tissues Generate Effector and Memory T Cells That Lead to Allograft Rejection
Isam W. Nasr,Michael Reel,Martin H. Oberbarnscheidt,Rawad Mounzer,Fady K. Baddoura,Nancy H. Ruddle,Fadi G. Lakkis +6 more
TL;DR: A murine transplantation model is established in which the donor skin contains tertiary lymphoid tissues due to transgenic expression of lymphotoxin‐α(RIP‐LTα), whereas the recipient lacks all secondary lymphoid organs and does not mount primary alloimmune responses, providing direct evidence that tertiary glands perpetuate the rejection process by supporting naïve T‐cell activation.
