Br J Biomed Sci. 2023 Jun 13;80:11442. doi: 10.3389/bjbs.2023.11442. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTGout with associated AA amyloidosis is an unusual finding. This form of amyloid is associated with chronic inflammatory changes often associated with amyloid deposits in the urine, as well as tissue involvement, and organ enlargement in some cases. The large majority of cases in the literature to date refer to gout with AA amyloid within the kidney. However, this is not exclusive, with reports in the liver, gastrointestinal tract, adrenal glands rectum, skin, and subcutaneous fat. The pathophysiological association between these t...

Dermatopathology and the Diagnosis of Fungal Infections
Br J Biomed Sci. 2023 Jun 7;80:11314. doi: 10.3389/bjbs.2023.11314. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTDiagnosis of superficial/cutaneous fungal infections from skin, hair and nail samples is generally achieved using microscopy and culture in a microbiology laboratory, however, any presentation that is unusual or subcutaneous is sampled by taking a biopsy. Using histological techniques a tissue biopsy enables a pathologist to perform a full examination of the skin structure, detect any inflammatory processes or the presence of an infectious agent or foreign body. Histopathological examination can give a presumptive diagnosis while a...

Embedding Scientific Communication and Digital Capabilities in the Undergraduate Biomedical Science Curriculum
Discussion: Undergraduate students developed, appreciated and used varied scientific communication and digital skills to articulate research findings. The embedding of such activities throughout all levels of higher education will enable students to develop their digital and scientific skills and reflect on the development of such transferable skills for application in their future careers.PMID:37152115 | PMC:PMC10154515 | DOI:10.3389/bjbs.2023.11284 (Source: British Journal of Biomedical Science)
