DOI: 10.1002/dc.24662
Abstract: Adenoviruses are emerging as important viral pathogens in immunocompromised patients due to immunodeficiency diseases and recently hematopoietic stem cell and solid organ transplant recipients, impacting morbidity and even mortality. Immunocompromised children are prone to respiratory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00408-017-0032-3
Abstract: BackgroundThe usefulness of clinical, radiological and pleural fluid analytical parameters for diagnosing malignant and paramalignant pleural effusion is not clearly stated. Hence this study aimed to identify possible predictor variables of diagnosing malignancy in pleural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.imbio.2016.10.017
Abstract: Tumors exert suppressive effects on the host immune system and tumor progression can be linked to functional impairments of immune cells. Regulatory T cells (Treg) are a subpopulation of T lymphocytes and play a key… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1769096
Abstract: Abstract Heart failure (HF) and cirrhosis are frequently associated with pleural effusions (PEs). Despite their apparently benign nature, both HF-related effusions and hepatic hydrothorax (HH) have poor prognosis because they represent an advanced stage of… read more here.
