Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer01:03

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

4.9K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I01:29

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

212
Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

880
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Sexually Transmitted Infections

254
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Mechanisms of Retrovirus-induced Cancers

5.0K
Retroviruses are RNA viruses that have been shown to cause cancers in diverse species, including chickens, mice, cats, and monkeys. The RNA genomes of these viruses are first reverse-transcribed into single and then double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) copies. This dsDNA called proviral DNA then integrates into the host genome. Subsequently, the host cell transcribes the proviral DNA in concert with the chromosomal DNA. This leads to the production of viral RNA and proteins that assemble at the host...

Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

Skin Diseases and Disorders

2.8K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Summary

Kaposi sarcoma is a rare cancer often seen in individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or those on immunosuppressants. Radiological imaging, particularly PET-CT scans, aids in diagnosing and monitoring this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Kaposi sarcoma is a rare neoplastic disease.
  • It predominantly affects individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), organ transplant recipients on immunosuppressants, and certain African populations.
  • Radiological imaging plays a crucial role in its diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the role of radiological imaging in the diagnosis and follow-up of Kaposi sarcoma.
  • To emphasize the current primary imaging modality used for Kaposi sarcoma.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical practices regarding Kaposi sarcoma diagnosis.
  • Focus on the application of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) in patient management.

Main Results:

  • Kaposi sarcoma diagnosis and follow-up are significantly aided by radiological imaging.
