Illness and Diseases

Discussion HCMV is the most common pathogen in intrauterine infection. Among the new born babies in Europe and America, HCMV infection rate is 2%, while that in developing countries is even higher. HCMV intrauterine infection may cause miscarriage, stillbirth, fetus developmental retardation, central nervous system damage and other serious results, but its specific pathogenesis remains […]

Controls The above immunohistochemical procedures controls were performed replacing the primary antibody by PBS. Further controls were performed omitting the secondary antibody. The controls were always negative. Mexican online pharmacies Western Blot detection It is to detect c-erbB-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression levels. Referring to the instruction of kits, two groups of villous total protein […]

Specimen and sources of the virus The tissue of villus is from healthy pregnant women whose peripheral blood is HCMV antibody negative and whose gestational age are between 5 to 10 weeks, who are voluntarily conducted abortion because of planned parenthood, from department of gynecology and obstetrics of Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College of […]

Background Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most common pathogen in uterus during pregnancy, which may lead to some serious results such as miscarriage, stillbirth, cerebellar malformation, fetus developmental retardation, but its pathogenesis has not been fully explained. The hypofunction of extravillous cytotrophoblast (EVT) invasion is the essential pathologic base of some complications of pregnancy. c-erbB-2 […]

As Nordenfelt in particular criticizes the definitions of the concepts disease, illness, and sickness presented by Andrew Twaddle (Twaddle, 1994a, 1973, 1979), I will take these definitions as a point of departure and cite them at some length. According to Twaddle, disease is defined in the following way: ‘‘Disease is a health problem that consists […]

When S. aureus and group A streptococci are thought of, typically boils and pharyngitis, respectively, come to mind rather than the severe infectious diseases that these organisms can cause. Thus, the lack of great attention to these organisms may have allowed them, unchecked, to cause a myriad of chronic diseases that are recognized but whose […]

Thus, one or more streptococcal superantigens may contribute significantly to TSLS. The pathogenesis of other severe invasive streptococcal diseases remains obscure. To date, few studies have evaluated transmission of the TSLS organism, rates of carriage and infection, and serosusceptibility to SPEs. Such studies are greatly needed. Recently, we received 23 strains of group B streptococci […]

In children the case-fatality rate for influenza TSS appears to be — 90%, with a lower rate in adults. It is likely that infection with other viruses, such as parainfluenza virus, could result in similar TSS. Recalcitrant erythematous desquamating syndrome represents an unrelenting TSS that occurs in AIDS patients. This illness may continue for > […]

In the early 1980s, TSS was recognized as an illness primarily in women at or within 2 days of their menstrual period and particularly in women using higher-absorbency tampons. However, even at that time cases were being reported in women who were not menstruating and in children and men. With the removal ofthe highest- absorbency […]
