An Unusual Presentation of a Posterior Mediastinal Schwannoma Associated with Traumatic Hemothorax
(2015)Schwannomas of the thoracic cavity are typically an asymptomatic, benign neurogenic neoplasm of the posterior mediastinum. In this case, we present a traumatic hemothorax as the initial presentation for a previously ... -
Unusual reticulin staining pattern in well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma
(2011)Background Special stains, such as reticulin stain and CD34 immunostain, are very helpful in the diagnosis of well differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Most studies have shown that absent or decreased reticulin ... -
An update on mindfulness meditation as a self-help treatment for anxiety and depression
(2012)In recent years, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments have increased in popularity. This is especially true for treatments that are related to exercise and mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in the ... -
Upregulation of Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 Antisense Transcription by the Viral Tax Protein
(East Carolina University, 2009-02)Several studies have recently demonstrated the existence of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) antisense transcripts, which allow the synthesis of the newly described HBZ protein. Although previous reports have ... -

Use of monoamine oxidase and redox enzymes in atrial tissue as novel predictors of postoperative atrial fibrillation
(East Carolina University, 2014)Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) occurs in approximately 30% of cardiac surgery patients. The complication occurs despite advances in surgical procedures. It is associated with increased mortality, morbidity, and ... -
Using death to one's advantage: HIV modulation of apoptosis
(East Carolina University, 2001-03)Infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is associated with an early immune dysfunction and progressive destruction of CD4+ T lymphocytes. This progressive disappearance of T cells leads to a lack of immune control ... -
Using TIRF microscopy to analyze stimulated and basal state B-cell MHC II clustering in response to ageing and dietary fish oil
(East Carolina University, 2013)This research focused on developing an efficient TIRF microscopy approach to evaluate membrane protein organization. More specifically, the data demonstrate that TIRF microscopy can detect changes in ex vivo B-cell MHC II ... -
