Evidence is presented that the thymic lesion, often called "granulomatous thymoma"4 is in fact Hodgkin's disease of the thymus gland. All but 4 patients had the nodular-sclerosis type of Hodgkin's disease, and in all the cases in which the thymus gland was involved, nodular sclerosis was ...
Lymphocytes that participate in immune responses belong to two major groups. One group, which matures in the thymus gland, comprises thymic or T lymphocytes, of which there are several subsets. These subsets have different functions and carry unique surface molecules: (1) helper T lymphocytes, mar...
which are normally manufactured in thebone marrowand which circulate in the blood, move to the site of the infection. Some of these cells reach the site by chance, in a process calledrandom migration, since almost every body site is supplied constantly with the blood in which these cells cir...
A study published in late 2002 reported that there is a significant increase in the number of CD4 cells in the blood of patients having an acute attack of Ménière's disease. CD4 cells are a subtype of T cells, which are produced in the thymus gland and regulate the immune system's res...
Border disease virus (BDV) is in the genus Pestivirus and family Flaviviridae, which also includes the two genotypes of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and classical swine fever virus. It rarely causes disease in adults and is most important as a cause of in utero infection of lambs and...
Diagnosis is made based on clinical signs and is confirmed by culture. Epizootiology and transmission. The organism penetrates wounds of the skin, mouth, nose, gastrointestinal tract, testicles, and mammary gland. Rough feed material and foreign bodies may play a role in causing abrasions. Actino...
The human microbiome is a complex and dynamic system that plays important roles in human health and disease. However, there remain limitations and theoretical gaps in our current understanding of the intricate relationship between microbes and humans. In this narrative review, we integrate the knowledg...
causes Cushing’s syndrome. This kind of tumor can form in an organ that doesn’t naturally produce ACTH, but because of the tumor, it begins to make a lot of it. These tumors can be cancerous or noncancerous. They’re usually found in the lungs, pancreas, thyroid, or thymus gland....
In addition to lymph nodes, lymphatic fluid (lymph), andlymphatic vessels, the system is comprised of thethymus gland,tonsils,spleen, andbone marrow. There are around 600 lymph nodes located throughout the body, many of which are clustered in the armpit, groin, and neck.They vary in size ...
One is the presence of abnormalities in the thymus gland. This gland is responsible for educating the cells of the immune system, and it expresses many self-proteins so that those cells of the immune system that might react against ‘self’ can be deleted. Small muscle-like cells called ...
