“…Purchasing high technological medical equipment as commodities by sub-Saharan Africans without considering the prevalence of diseases they are meant to cater for, their maintenance for steady function during useful lifespan, their cost-effectiveness and how to recoup the money spent on investments depletes the scarce foreign exchange reserve of the home countries and is eventually counterproductive as exemplified by this case.…”

“…Similar results for freeze-dried dermal matrix were previously observed. γ-Irradiated, γ-irradiated/freeze-dried, and ethanol-stored dermal matrices were statistically different from native dermis for acid-soluble collagen (82.4% ± 5.8%, 72.2% ± 6.2%, and 76.8% ± 5.0%, respectively) and collagenase digestion rate, indicating matrix damage. γ-Irradiated matrix-implanted animals demonstrated elevated inflammatory response, foreign body giant cells, capsule formation at the tissue expander junction, and robust matrix metalloproteinase-1 staining with significant elastic modulus decrease (37.43 ± 7.52 MPa out-of-package/19.58 ± 1.16 MPa in vivo). …”

“…BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized first-line sensors of foreign materials invading the organism. These sentinel cells rely on pattern recognition receptors such as Nod-like or Toll-like receptors (TLRs) to launch immune reactions against pathogens, but also to mediate tolerance to self-antigens and, in the intestinal milieu, to nutrients and commensals. …”
