The incidence of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is surprisingly high among certain subgroups of patients in industrialized countries. Diagnosis is often difficult and can require costly invasive workup. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is a safe, minimally invasive, accurate, out-patient diagnostic modality for assessing mediastinal and abdominal lymphadenopathy and masses.

    We present the case of a 57-year-old woman with multifocal invasive ductal breast carcinoma in whom the resected axillary nodes were found to harbor both metastatic cancer and tuberculous lymphadenitis. Thorough investigation revealed no evidence of primary tuberculosis elsewhere. A quantiFERON TB-G...

    A new poly(amidoamine) dendrimer from second generation whose periphery comprises sixteen fluorescent 4-N,N-dimethylaminoethylamino-1,8-naphthalimide units has been synthesized and characterized. In DMF, the dendrimer shows sensitivity to the presence of Cu(2+), Fe(3+) and protons. The changes in th...
