A Review of Characteristics and Treatments of the Avoidant Personality Disorder. Could the DBT be an Option?

Antonio Drago, Cristina Marogna and Hans Jorgen Sogaard

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: June 24, 2016

Avoidant personality disorder (APD) is a frequent disorder whose prevalence has been reported to be as high as 10% in mental clinic outpatients. There is an open debate on whether APD is to be considered a different disorder compared to social phobia (SP), or they are different quantitative manifestations of the same pathologic process. Treatment for APD is mainly based on evidence gathered for SP or SP in co-morbidity with APD. Suggested pharmacological treatment of APD is SSRIs or SNRIs....

An Unusual Case of Recurrent Post-Obstructive Pneumonia from Spontaneous Granulation Tissue Formation

Georges Al-Helou, Sripooja Satya, Brian Senisi, Robert Maximos and Jalil Ahari

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: July 11, 2016

A 63-year-old man known to have human immune-deficiency viral (HIV) infection was referred for evaluation following three episodes of left upper lobe pneumonia. He was well controlled on his anti-retroviral medications. Physical exam showed left upper lobe wheezing. No evidence of obstruction could be seen on chest X-ray or computed tomography (CT). Bronchoscopy was done and showed an obstructing lesion that was biopsied then ablated. It was found to be due to a spontaneous formation of granulat...

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Modulation of TH17 Cells

Justin D Glenn and Katharine A Whartenby

Article Type: Short Review | First Published: June 26, 2016

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multi-faceted cells capable of tissue regeneration, wound healing, and immunosuppression. Their immunosuppressive actions extend to most innate and adaptive immune cells, including TH17 cells, which have recently been discovered to be important pathogenic cells in a variety of disease settings, including many autoimmune diseases. As various long-standing treatments and therapies in autoimmune disease may face limitations and result in dangerous side effects, the...

Influence of Metronidazole on Oral Busulfan Test Dose

Francine Attie de Castro, Vera Lucia Lanchote and Belinda Pinto Simoes

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: June 30, 2016

Individualization of busulfan (BU) dosing during pre-transplant conditioning for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been performed worldwide for more than a decade. The pharmacokinetic parameters of BU show high variability and studies report that high plasma concentrations (> 900 ng/mL) are associated with sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS), whereas low plasma concentrations (< 600 ng/mL) are associated with graft rejection and/or disease recurrence....

Globalization Challenges to Family Nutrition in the Caribbean: The Way Forward

Fitzroy J Henry

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: June 27, 2016

Good family nutrition is a major public health goal in the Caribbean but obesity is the dominant nutritional outcome in all age groups. Overweight/obesity prevalence in preschool children is up to 14%. For adolescents it is 30% and adults over 60%.

HPV Associated Head and Neck Cancer

Guler Yavas and Cagdas Yavas

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: July 12, 2016

Human papillomavirus (HPV) - associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is an entity with unique clinical and molecular characteristics, which mainly arises from the palatine tonsils and base of the tongue. Nowadays, oropharyngeal cancers are increasing in incidence despite declining prevalence of smoking and in direct opposition to a decreasing incidence of all other HNSCC. An epidemic of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancers seems to account for these incidence trends....
