Despite recent discoveries of genetic variants associated with autoimmunity and infection, genetic control of the human immune system during homeostasis is poorly understood. We undertook a comprehensive immunophenotyping approach, analyzing 78,000 immune traits in 669 female twins. From the top 151 heritable traits (up to 96% heritable), we used replicated GWAS to obtain 297 SNP associations at 11...
Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a tumor-like lesion that typically arises on human skin. Intravenous pyogenic granuloma (IVPG) is the vascular counterpart, mostly observed in the venous structures of the neck and upper extremities. Chronic irritation of the skin, traumatic injury, and hormonal alterations seem to be implicated in the pathogenesis of PG. The incidence of PG, and IVPG, is very low in the...
Portal pneumatosis is a rare diagnostic factor, which is often associated with ischemic intestinal accidents. It has been associated with a negative prognosis for a very long time, and the presence of portal pneumatosis is usually an indication for the need to perform a laparotomy. A 68-year-old male patient with diabetes, obstructive lung disease, and a previous cerebral stroke associated with left...
