Abstract

Lajos Arányi (Lostainer), who introduced pathological anatomy into Hungary, was born in Komárom in 1812. He lost his father at the age of three, and then was adopted by one of his wealthy uncles. Arányi first studied at the faculty of arts and later law at university, but after a cholera epidemic in 1831, in which he helped the infected in Pest, he changed his mind and went over to the faculty of medicine. After he had received his degree he worked as an assistant to Ferenc Bene from 1837. Two years later he spent six months at Italian clinics, and four years in Vienna. In Vienna, where he worked with Professor Rokitansky at the Allgemeines Krankenhaus, he learned the techniques of pathology, and studied the humouralpathological theory of his principal, and above all the clinicopathologic views of the Vienna medical school. Returning home he decided to introduce patholoogy into the medical curriculum. In his objectives he was helped by Ignác Stáhly, Agost Schöpf-Merei and János Balassa. His introductory lecture took place in 10 April 1844, and his regular lectures and demonstrations started from the autumn. His autopsy records were rather modern, he used clear and logical categories. ...

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
