Coronavirus spread in China was twice faster than earlier assessment, US study says
Each person infected early in epidemic in Wuhan probably passed virus to average of 5.7 other people, says analysis by Los Alamos National Laboratory. Berlin: The new coronavirus raced through China much faster than previously thought, a U.S. research team said, suggesting that extremely widespread vaccination or immunity will be necessary to end the pandemic. Each person infected early in the epidemic in Wuhan probably passed the virus to an average of 5.7 other people, according to a mathematical analysis from Los Alamos National Laboratory. That’s more than twice what the World Health Organization and other public health authorities reported in... Read More
An oral medicine was able to hinder the coronavirus behind COVID-19 as it attempted to replicate itself in human lung cells in test tubes, scientists reported Monday. It also hampered closely related coronaviruses from reproducing in mice for several days and improved their lung functions. The drug, called EIDD-2801, interferes with a key mechanism that allows the SARS-CoV-2 virus to reproduce in high numbers and cause infections, the researchers explained in the journal Science Translational Medicine. Human trials have not yet been done, but if the effect is similar in people, the drug would be the first pill available to help... 
Celiac Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic disorder caused by an inflammatory T-cell response to the storage proteins in wheat, rye and barley, which are collectively called “gluten” and characterized by the presence of typical autoantibodies (anti transglutaminase (TTG), anti endomysial, anti-deamidated gliadin peptide) and a range of histological alterations of the small bowel mucosa ranging from increased intra epithelial lymphocytes to total villous atrophy. Genetic (mainly positivity for HLADQ2 and/or DQ8), immunological, and environmental factors (such as microbiota composition, age of gluten introduction, infections etc.) are thought to be necessary for disease expression. Ingestion of gluten by genetically... 
Chronic Kidney Disease The prevalence of both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and metabolic bone diseases increases with age. Given the aging of the population as a prevailing demographic trend in the Western world, these medical conditions represent a significant challenge. Moreover, CKD in its advanced stages (from CKD grade 3) is associated with changes of calcium-phosphate metabolism, which, together with the lack of active di-hydroxylated vitamin D, constitute mineral and bone disease that is connected with CKD (CKD-MBD). The bone component of CKD-MBD (renal osteopathy) affects the vast majority of patients with advanced or end stage renal disease (ESRD)... 
Immune System and Health The world population presents an increased percentage of individuals over 65 years old and the fastest growing subgroup is over 85 years old. The increase in life expectancy observed in the last century has not been synonymous with extra years lived in good health (disability-free years). Population studies have shown that as individuals age, they can present a great heterogeneity of ability and health. Therefore, aging has been associated for some individuals with disabilities and hospitalizations. Deaths related to infectious pathogens are increased in the aging population mainly due to pneumonia and influenza whereas Cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr... 
Immune and HIV The vision of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) is to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. In the past years, although in the absence of cure or vaccines, the treatment of HIV infection with combination Antiretroviral Therapy (cART) has been pretty successful. Despite this, long term HIV infection is associated with an enhanced and accentuated onset of non-AIDS-related pathologies. For different and not completely defined reasons, long-term treated HIV-infected individuals suffer from some age-related maladies due to chronic inflammation and immune activation during the cART. With aging, a progressive inflammatory state causes chronic, low-grade... 
Recent discoveries in nanotechnology are promoting a growing revolution across all area of medicine through the tailoring of structures and functionalities of biomaterials at extremely small scales (similar to most biomolecules).

Whole world being in isolation due to COVID-19 but it don't mean to stop regular exercises which benefits immunity Being in isolation without access to gyms and sports clubs it should not mean people to stop exercising, according to a new study from researchers. Over the decades, many studies have investigated how exercise affects the immune system. It is widely agreed that regular moderate intensity exercise is beneficial for immunity, but a view held by some is that more arduous exercise can suppress immune function, leading to an 'open-window' of heightened infection risk in the hours and days following exercise....

Pancreatic Disorder The evaluation of pancreatic diseases can be difficult due to the inaccessibility of the pancreas. There are multiple methods to evaluate the pancreas. Initial tests of the pancreas include a physical examination, which is difficult since the pancreas is deep in the abdomen near the spine. Blood tests are often helpful in determining whether the pancreas is involved in a specific symptom but may be misleading. The best radiographic tests to evaluate the structure of the pancreas include CAT (computed tomography) scan, endoscopic ultrasound, and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Tests to evaluate the pancreatic ducts include ERCP (endoscopic... 
Protein-A Protects against IL-13 The lung surfactant proteins are recognized as critical not only for their role in lowering lung surface tension but also in innate host defense. Reports have shown that some asthmatic patients have decreased levels of one member of this protein family in particular, surfactant protein-A (SP-A). Our studies set out to determine the contribution of SP-A to the response of a key effector cytokine in asthma, IL-13. Our studies employ both animal models sufficient and deficient in SP-A challenged with IL-13 and primary epithelial cells from participants with asthma that are exogenously treated with SP-A in...

Epidemiology is the study and analysis of the distribution (who, when, and where), patterns and determinants of health and disease conditions in defined populations. It is a cornerstone of public health, and shapes policy decisions and evidence-based practice by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive healthcare. Epidemiologists help with study design, collection, and statistical analysis of data, amend interpretation and dissemination of results (including peer review and occasional systematic review). Epidemiology has helped develop methodology used in clinical research, public health studies, and, to a lesser extent, basic research in the biological sciences. Major areas of epidemiological...

Cytomegalovirus Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) glycoproteins H and L (gH/gL) can be bound by either gO or the UL128 to UL131 proteins (referred to here as UL128-131) to form complexes that facilitate entry and spread, and the complexes formed are important targets of neutralizing antibodies. Strains of HCMV vary considerably in the levels of gH/gL/gO and gH/gL/UL128-131, and this can impact infectivity and cell tropism. In this study, we investigated how natural interstrain variation in the amino acid sequence of gO influences the biology of HCMV. Heterologous gO recombinants were constructed in which 6 of the 8 alleles or genotypes (GT)... 
RXRs Macrophages are myeloid-derived cells that populate all tissues, where they contribute to tissue remodeling and protection against pathogens and injury. Macrophages are heterogeneous and derive from two main lineages. Tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) arise mainly from embryonic precursors and reside in tissues for prolonged periods, whereas blood-derived macrophages are found mostly in injured tissues. In a previous analysis by RNA-seq, ChIP-seq and assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) of purified TRMs from six organs, we showed that the TRM epigenetic and transcriptional programme is unique to each tissue and is shaped by the tissue microenvironment in which TRMs reside2.... 
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are slow-growing tumors that account for 1-2% of all pancreatic malignancies. Enucleation of low-grade pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors has the advantage of avoiding short and long-term morbidities related to formal resections; however, it carries a risk of significant post-operative pancreatic fistula, especially if the tumor is close to the main pancreatic duct. We have recently started using intra-operative ERCP to facilitate enucleation of pNETs ≤ 3 mm from MPD. This technique has not previously been described in the literature. Intraoperative ERCP is considered for patients with pNETs ≤ 3 mm from main pancreatic duct who... 
Medication adherence is the process by which patients take their medication as prescribed and is an umbrella term that encompasses all aspects of medication use patterns. Patient adherence is a prerequisite for achieving the therapeutic outcome. Further, precise knowledge of medication intake is crucial for any evaluation of drug effectiveness. With the emergence of electronic records (in hospitals or clinics, at GPs or community pharmacies) and new technologies for electronic monitoring, medical data became electronically available and could deliver surrogate values of medication intake. Consequently, several estimates of adherence were generated with mathematical formulas (so called operationalization) applied to the... 
A group of moderately ill people were given hydroxychloroquine, which appeared to ease their symptoms quickly, but more research is needed. The malaria drug hydroxychloroquine helped to speed the recovery of a small number of patients who were mildly ill from the coronavirus, doctors in China reported this week. Cough, fever and pneumonia went away faster, and the disease seemed less likely to turn severe in people who received hydroxychloroquine than in a comparison group not given the drug. The authors of the report said that the medication was promising, but that more research was needed to clarify how it...

Emergence of MDR (multidrug resistant) strains of microorganisms is one of the most worrying challenges in current public health sectors. While most of the popular antibiotics/antimicrobial agents continue to lose efficacy against a range of microbial strains including malaria, TB (tuberculosis), leprosy, hepatitis, meningococcus, strains causing nosocomial infections like Ps. aeruginosa and HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) causing AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), the current scenario of arrival of new antibiotic molecules in the market is less than inspiring. Due to a series of methodological as well as financial hurdles, the emergence of new antibiotics has been a painfully slow affair which can be... 
Aging Aging represents a paradox of immunodeficiency and inflammation (inflamm-aging) and autoimmunity. Over the lifespan there are changes in the architecture and functioning of the immune system often termed “Immunosenescence”. Recently, there have been major developments in understanding the cellular and molecular bases, and genetic and epigenetic changes, in innate and the adaptive immune system during aging. Limited longitudinal studies have begun to reveal biomarkers of immune aging, which are recognized as an “immune risk profile” (IRP) predicting mortality in the very elderly. Hallmark parameters of the IRP may also be associated with poorer responses to vaccination. The usually asymptomatic... 
Vitiligo Vitiligo is a complex disease, involving a combination of genetic and environmental factors, together with metabolic and immune alterations. Abnormalities leading to impaired melanocyte regeneration and/or proliferation suggest that defect(s) in melanocytes play an important role in this disease. However, it is becoming increasingly evident that inflammation and autoimmunity are also central players, in particular during the progressive phase of the disease. The critical role of the immune response during vitiligo pathogenesis has now largely been described and future emerging therapeutics are targeting the immune pathway. Indeed, most of the identified susceptibility genes (GWAS studies) are related to the... 
Neurological Disorders Tauopathies are characterized by the aberrant modification, splicing, and aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein Tau into filamentous inclusions in neurons and glia. Tau pathology is present across a wide spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease, fronto-temporal dementias, Pick's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Huntington's and Parkinson's diseases, among others. Given the combined prevalence of these diseases and the importance of Tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease, research on tauopathy should be considered a priority. How we work: After submission, an acknowledgement with manuscript number is sent to the corresponding author within 7 working days. A 21... 
Brain Pathology The Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels compromise a superfamily of polymodal receptors that are critically involved in the detection of diverse stimuli such as temperature or pH changes, noxious chemicals or mechanical forces. This ability to sense environmental changes is essential for survival, and thus the disruption of TRP channel function can have a severe impact on human health, as evidenced by the increasing number of hereditary and acquired diseases linked to TRP channels. Many members of the TRP channel superfamily are expressed in the brain. However, their role is not restricted in sensing brain microenvironmental changes and...

Intravenous general anesthetics Intravenously-delivered general anesthetics are typically small and highly lipophilic molecules. These characteristics facilitate their rapid preferential distribution into the brain and spinal cord, which are both highly vascularized and lipophilic. It is here where the actions of these drugs lead to general anesthesia induction. Elimination Following distribution into the central nervous system (CNS), the anesthetic drug then diffuses out of the CNS into the muscles and viscera, followed by adipose tissues. In patients given a single injection of drug, this redistribution results in termination of general anesthesia. Therefore, following administration of a single anesthetic bolus, duration of...

In adult mammals, peripheral nervous system (PNS) neurons regenerate relatively efficiently, whereas central nervous system (CNS) neurons cannot regenerate. The difference in regenerative capacity between CNS and PNS neurons has been attributed to extrinsic signals, and to intrinsic growth ability and the inhibitory glial environment. PNS neurons possess the fundamental and conserved ability to regenerate their axons following injury, in a process mainly controlled by the PNS glial cells surrounding neurons and Schwann cells (SCs). Several studies have reported the regenerative ability of SCs. After axotomy, SCs undergo a rapid reprogramming process that includes macrophage activation and morphological transformation from... 
Modelling Risk and Decisions Analysis Risks and their management are an integral part of decision making in the 21st century. A decision framework should allow groups of stakeholders to evaluate multiple-objective decisions and analyze trade-offs of various alternatives/scenarios/decision to be considered. However, formulating these alternatives, objectives, and trade-offs involves working with both facts (the uncertain state of the “world” one models) and values (what one deems important). Ideally, the facts and the values should be kept separate even when they seem completely entangled. This distinction is important both at a qualitative level, when building conceptual models, and at a quantitative... 
Fish | Shellfish Pathology The study of fish and shellfish diseases requires a wide knowledge, not only of the potential pathogens, but also of the environmental constraints and specialist adaptations, which govern the ectothermic, aqueous, existence of teleosts. The inflammatory and immune responses are greatly modified by the nature of their environment. These in turn influence the epizootiology and the clinical characteristics of the various conditions and the methods by which they can be controlled. Fish and shellfish pathology is clearly a multidisciplinary field. Despite of the extensive technical advances in biological and ecotoxicological research, histopathology continues to be a... 
Pathology of asthma Asthma is a serious health and socioeconomic issue all over the world, affecting more than 300 million individuals. The disease is considered as an inflammatory disease in the airway, leading to airway hyperresponsiveness, obstruction, mucus hyper-production and airway wall remodeling. The presence of airway inflammation in asthmatic patients has been found in the nineteenth century. As the information in patients with asthma increase, paradigm change in immunology and molecular biology have resulted in an extensive evaluation of inflammatory cells and mediators involved in the pathophysiology of asthma. Moreover, it is recognized that airway remodeling into detail, characterized... 
Immunology | History In the highly competitive world of biomedical science, often the rush to publish and to be recognized as “first” with a new discovery, concept or method, is lost in the hurly-burly of the moment, as “the maddening crowd” moves on to the next “new thing”. One of the great things about immunology today is that it has only become mature as a science within the last half-century, and especially within the past 35 years as a consequence of the revolution of molecular immunology, which has taken place only since 1980. Consequently, most of those who have contributed...

Revolutionizing Undergraduate Immunology Education Immunology has its developmental roots in understanding protection of the host from pathogens, leading to the development of vaccines and subsequently identification of soluble and cellular components of the immune system. Thus, immunology education has historically been tightly linked to infectious disease. Decades of research have demonstrated that the complexity and intricacies of the immune system are far greater than perhaps was once imagined. As a system that interfaces with all other organ systems in the body, it plays a key role in both maintaining health and causing life-threatening disease, thereby solidifying its importance in several...

A brief explanation about Immunogenetics Immunogenetics is the study of the mechanisms of autoimmune diseases, tolerance inorgan transplantation, and immunity to infectious diseases-with a special emphasis on the role of the genetic make-up of an organism in these processes. The immune system evolved essentially to protect vertebrates from a myriad species of potentially harmful infectious agents such as bacteria, virus, fungi and various eukaryotic parasites. However, the growing understanding of the immune system has influenced a variety of different biomedical disciplines, and is playing an increasingly important role in the study and treatment of many human diseases such as cancer and autoimmune conditions. There are two broad types...

SUMMARY: Identifying interventions that improve vaccine efficacy in older persons is vital to deliver healthy aging for an aging population. Immunologists have identified a route for counteracting the age-related loss of two key immune cell types by using genital wart cream to boost immune response to vaccination in aged mice. After this validation in mice, the findings offer an attractive intervention to tailor the make-up of vaccines for older people. Research just published by the Linterman lab shows that the immune system of older mice can be given a helping hand by applying immunology expertise and some genital wart treatment...

Improved Peptide-MHC Class II Interaction Prediction Through Integration of Eluted Ligand and Peptide Affinity Data 
Clinical trials are experiments or observations done in clinical research. Such prospective biomedical or behavioral research studies on human participants are designed to answer specific questions about biomedical or behavioral interventions, including new treatments (such as novel vaccines, drugs, dietary choices, dietary supplements, and medical devices) and known interventions that warrant further study and comparison. Clinical trials generate data on safety and efficacy. They are conducted only after they have received health authority/ethics committee approval in the country where approval of the therapy is sought. These authorities are responsible for vetting the risk/benefit ratio of the trial – their approval does not mean that the therapy is 'safe' or effective, only that the trial may be conducted. Depending on product type and development... 
Pupil Definition The pupil is the opening in the center of the iris (the structure that gives our eyes their color). The function of the pupil is to allow light to enter the eye so it can be focused on the retina to begin the process of sight. Pupil Function Together, the iris and pupil control how much light enters the eye. Using the analogy of a camera, the pupil is the aperture of the eye and the iris is the diaphragm that controls the size of the aperture. The size of the pupil is controlled by muscles within the iris — one...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is a complex immune-mediated disease of the gastrointestinal tract that increases morbidity and negatively influences the quality of life. Intestinal mononuclear phagocytes (MNPs) have a crucial role in maintaining epithelial barrier integrity while controlling pathogen invasion by activating an appropriate immune response. However, in genetically predisposed individuals, uncontrolled immune activation to intestinal flora is thought to underlie the chronic mucosal inflammation that can ultimately result in IBD. Thus, MNPs are involved in fine-tuning mucosal immune system responsiveness and have a critical role in maintaining homeostasis or, potentially, the emergence of...

Importance of Mechanotransduction in Immune Responses The current major focus of immunology is how our immune systems are regulated. In particular, how different receptors at the surface of immune cells respond to the presence of either antigen or pathogen, and how these responses are regulated at a subcellular level. But we should keep in mind that biophysical cues generated by physiological events, either normal or abnormal, also influence our immune system. The development of new technologies and interdisciplinary approaches has allowed us to investigate physical effects on biological interactions, shifting the view of cells as passive organisms to active entities....

Antarctic Fish IgT, a Weird Option of Immunoglobulin Genes Antarctic fish, most of which belonging to the Perciform Suborder Notothenioidei, have acquired, during their evolution, specific features that allow them to thrive, at present, at cold and stable temperature (-1.86°C). Нe morphological evolution and diversification of Antarctic Notothenioid teleosts into over 120 species is one of the best examples of adaptive radiation in the marine environment. New ecological chances, for instance the extinction of antagonists, the colonization of vacant niches, or the emergence of key innovative features such as the gain of antifreeze glycoproteins have allowed them to live in...

Biosafety-Microbiology Biosafety is the prevention of large-scale loss of biological integrity, focusing both on ecology and human health.[1] These prevention mechanisms include conduction of regular reviews of the biosafety in laboratory settings, as well as strict guidelines to follow. Biosafety is used to protect from harmful incidents. Many laboratories handling biohazards employ an ongoing risk management assessment and enforcement process for biosafety. Failures to follow such protocols can lead to increased risk of exposure to biohazards or pathogens. Human error and poor technique contribute to unnecessary exposure and compromise the best safeguards set into place for protection. The international... 
Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphoid cells that have a significant role in regulating the defenses against cancer development and certain viral infections. They are equipped with an array of activating and inhibitory receptors that stimulate or diminish NK cell activity, respectively. Inhibitory receptors include, among others, the MHC class I ligands killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) in humans, and members of the Ly49 family of receptors in mice, and CD94/NKG2A. Activating receptors include cytokine and chemokine receptors, and those that interact with ligands expressed on target cells, such as the natural cytotoxicity receptors or NCRs (NKp30, NKp44 and... 
Cancer immunotherapy has recently emerged as the fourth treatment modality, in addition to surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. These advances are the result of important discoveries in the field of regulation of the immune response, especially on the mechanisms which turn "on" and "off" immune responses. A disease which has proved to be a canonical model to test therapeutic immunotherapy approaches is the immunogenic cutaneous melanoma. So far, "passive" immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has outpaced "active" immunotherapy with antitumor vaccines, and monoclonal antibodies which antagonize the "off" responses have been recently introduced in clinical practice. In spite of... 
Inositol phosphates and phosphoinositides are integral to a number of critical intracellular signaling pathways in epithelia, endothelia and immune cells that are fundamental to GI health and can contribute to GI pathology when disrupted. These pathways broadly pervade almost every aspect of GI function including, secretion, absorption, innate and adaptive immunities, and are present in all cell types. Examples include excessive or insufficient fluid secretion through disregulation of ion channel function that can lead to diarrhea, constipation, or abnormal secretion of bile or pancreatic enzymes. Importantly, infectious bacteria such as Salmonella highjack inositide metabolic pathways that cause changes in both...

Retina, layer of nervous tissue that covers the inside of the back two-thirds of the eyeball, in which stimulation by light occurs, initiating the sensation of vision. The retina is actually an extension of the brain, formed embryonically from neural tissue and connected to the brain proper by the optic nerve. The retina is a complex transparent tissue consisting of several layers, only one of which contains light-sensitive photoreceptor cells. Light must pass through the overlying layers to reach the photoreceptor cells, which are of two types, rods and cones, that are differentiated structurally by their distinctive shapes and functionally by their sensitivity to different kinds of light....

THYROID TESTS Blood tests to measure these hormones are readily available and widely used, but not all are useful in all situations. Tests to evaluate thyroid function include the following: TSH TESTS The best way to initially test thyroid function is to measure the TSH level in a blood sample. Changes in TSH can serve as an “early warning system” – often occurring before the actual level of thyroid hormones in the body becomes too high or too low. A high TSH level indicates that the thyroid gland is not making enough thyroid hormone (primary hypothyroidism). T4 TESTS... 
Respiratory disease caused by the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) pneumonia first emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, in December 2019 and spread rapidly to other provinces and other countries. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the receptor for SARS-CoV and has been suggested to be also the receptor for 2019-nCoV. Paradoxically, ACE2 expression in the lung protects mice from SARS-CoV spike protein induced lung injury by attenuating the renin-angiotensin system. In the intestine, ACE2 also suppresses intestinal inflammation by maintaining amino acid homeostasis, antimicrobial peptide expression and ecology of the gut microbiome. Upon analysis of single cell-RNA sequencing data from control... 
Hypertension, vascular inflammation and renal inflammation are characteristic of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a multisystem autoimmune disease that is complex and poorly understood. Oxidation products of arachidonic and other fatty acids, termed isolevuglandins (isoLG) lead to formation of post-translational protein modifications that are immunogenic. We demonstrate isoLG enrichment in dendritic cells (DCs), B cells, and plasma cells from juvenile female B6.SLE123 mice. In adult B6.SLE123 and NZBWF1 mice, isoLG adducts are enriched in plasma cells and splenic DCs compared to C57Bl/6 and NZW mice respectively. Treatment with the isoLG-scavenger 2-hydroxybenzylamine (2-HOBA) reduced blood pressure, improved renal function, and attenuated renal... 
The field of Cancer Epidemiology is a dynamic and constantly evolving area of research and clinical application. A key focus of Cancer Epidemiology is to quantify the incidence and prevalence of the disease and to measure outcomes such as morbidity and mortality. Typically, the goal is to identify putative risk factors by comparing exposed with unexposed populations and using epidemiologic techniques including causal inference and survival analysis to assess cancer risk. Etiologic factors may be environmental in nature (e.g., pesticides, electromagnetic fields, UV radiation, groundwater contamination, mercury in fish, indoor building-material off-gassing, cellular towers), associated with harmful behaviors (e.g., cigarette... 
Uveitis is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide and is comprised of a clinically heterogenous group of subtypes with diverse etiologies. A widely accepted hypothesis is that infectious agents and immunological abnormalities in genetically susceptible individuals may be responsible for the initiation and chronicity of uveitis. The majority of these uveitis subtypes are multifactorial, with the contribution of genetic inheritance, immune dysregulation and gut microbiota abnormalities all playing a part. Both innate and adaptive immune responses are reported to be actively involved in the development of uveitis. Th1 cells were the first subtype of T...

Diabetes in pregnancy, including gestational diabetes (GDM) and pre-existing diabetes, imposes significant and adverse influences on maternal health as well as fetal development and child health. In the mother, GDM usually resolves after pregnancy unless it represents previously undiagnosed type 2 diabetes which is first recognized during pregnancy. GDM is linked to substantially increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. Despite the fact that GDM has been acknowledged as a subtype of diabetes for decades, appropriate cutoff points and procedures for screening and diagnosis are still under debate. Beyond the traditional use of insulin (basal-bolus or insulin...

Cardiovascular disease is sometimes called “heart disease”, but in medical terms, they are not exactly the same thing. Heart disease is a general term for conditions affecting the structure of the heart and the way it functions. All heart diseases are cardiovascular diseases. However, not all cardiovascular diseases are heart diseases. An example is stroke, which affects blood vessels in the brain, but not the heart itself. Risk factors for cardiovascular disease are particular habits, behaviors, circumstances or conditions that increase a person’s risk of developing cardiovascular disease, including lack of exercise, unhealthy eating, smoking, diabetes, age and family history....

Amoeba An amoeba (/əˈmiːbə/; rarely spelt amœba; plural am(o)ebas or am(o)ebae /əˈmiːbi/),[1] often called an amoeboid, is a type of cell or unicellular organism which has the ability to alter its shape, primarily by extending and retracting pseudopods.[2] Amoebae do not form a single taxonomic group; instead, they are found in every major lineage of eukaryotic organisms. Amoeboid cells occur not only among the protozoa, but also in fungi, algae, and animals.[3][4][5][6][7] Microbiologists often use the terms "amoeboid" and "amoeba" interchangeably for any organism that exhibits amoeboid movement. In older classification systems, most amoebae were placed in the class... 
Ciliated Foregut Cyst of Gallbladder: A Little Known Entity Ciliated foregut cysts are rare masses that develop from the tissues which remain from embryological foregutdevelopment. In the literature, a few cases have been described in various organs so far. The solitary cysts arecharacterized by ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium. They are usually located above the diaphragm butthey can also arise in relation to the liver, gallbladder and pancreas. Although rare, there is a risk of development ofsquamous cell carcinoma from these cysts that typically bear benign features. Prognosis following the developmentof carcinoma is poor. Congenital gallbladder cysts are... 
Skin is the largest organ of the body and is necessary for survival, since it performs many functions such as providing a physical barrier to the external environment, sensation, retention of normal hydration and thermal regulation. Significant skin loss is associated with high mortality and morbidity in the acute phase, and with physically and cosmetically drastic scarring in the long term. There are a number of tissue-engineered products in the clinic that are used as skin substitutes to promote healing of traumatic burn and diabetic wounds, producing results that satisfy the barrier function of the skin. The current tissue engineered...

Alopecia Areata (AA) is a CD8+ T cell-mediated autoimmune disease that is directed against anagen-associated autoantigens which become exposed to the immune system following the collapse of the hair follicle’s physiological immune privilege, and presumably only when hair follicles undergo active growth, produce a hair shaft, and are engaged in pigment synthesis (anagen). The mechanisms that contribute to the development of AA are currently under investigation. A major genome wide association study (GWAS) strongly supported the importance of NKG2D in AA, which had previously been suggested by immunohistological analyses. In a large cohort of AA patients, expression... 
There is a connection between obesity, diabetes and cancer that is well-accepted by the medical and scientific communities. Epidemiological evidence suggests that people with diabetes are at significantly higher risk for many forms of cancer. Type 2 diabetes and cancer share many risk factors, but detailed molecular/ mechanistic links between the two diseases are incompletely understood. Moreover, some medications used to treat cancer are associated with hyperglycemia and diabetes, and a reverse pattern is also noted - that some medications used to ameliorate hyperglycemia and diabetes are associated with increased risk of cancer. The scope of this Research... 
This Research Topic focuses on recent advances in understanding the neuronal dysfunction of diabetic brain. Insulin signaling plays a significant role in synaptic function in the brain. Cognitive dysfunction and decrease in the brain size have been observed in patients with diabetes. Insulin resistance is associated with reductions in cerebral glucose metabolism even in prediabetic individuals. These observations are generally associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Several epidemiological studies have indeed identified diabetes as a risk factor for AD. The threshold of amyloid burden needed to manifest dementia is decreased by diabetes. The link between diabetes and AD has been further... 
Plant are subject to high levels of DNA damage resulting from their obligatory dependence on sunlight and the associated exposure to environmental stresses. Irreversible DNA damage generated by genotoxic stresses hinders plant development and crop productivity. In order to maintain genome stability, plants have developed multiple mechanisms to detect and repair DNA damage. Among these, the intricate DNA damage response (DDR) network consists of an impressive array of DNA damage sensing and signal transduction pathways leading to DNA repair and cell survival or, alternatively, triggering cell death. Due to the essential role of DNA repair in maintaining genomic stability, tightly...

Nurses are front line of protecting themselves and clients from infectious disease. Nurses perform clinical procedures or other activities that can generate waste and expose themselves and clients to potentially infectious disease. This put nurses to be at higher risk for acquiring blood borne pathogens at health care facilities. Objective: The main objective of this... 
The auditory perception of sounds (environmental, speech or music) is one of the 5 principal senses consciously monitored by our brains, and is hugely important for all human endeavors and one’s quality of life. Loss of optimal performance in this principal sensory system leads to loss of effective communication and intimacy, as well as increased risk of isolation, depression, cognitive decline, and greater vulnerability to predators. The vestibular system ensures that individuals remain upright and effectively monitor their posture within their spatial surroundings, move effectively, and remain focused on visual targets during motion. The loss of vestibular... 
Thyroid disorders in India 
Diabetic retinopathy (DR), the most common complication of diabetes mellitus, is the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness among working-age adults. Vision loss in DR can be caused by macular edema as the consequence of increased vascular permeability due to the blood-retinal barrier (BRB) breakdown and altered fluid movements into retinal tissue. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), characterized by neovascularization on the retinal surface, can cause severe vision loss caused by vitreous hemorrhage and/or traction retinal detachment. In addition, accumulating data suggest that retinal neurodegeneration is an early component of DR, which can precede visible microvascular abnormalities. Increasing evidence points...

Photons are sensed by retinal photoreceptors whose matrix-like distribution underlies the transformation of the illumination pattern of the visual scene into a photoreceptor activity pattern in a visuotopic fashion. Activity of neighboring photoreceptors then are compared by secondary bipolar cells to decipher information regarding luminosity- and color-contrast and ultimately sent to retinal ganglion cells, the output neurons of the retina. Bipolar cells achieve this by comparing illumination information received directly from their center receptive field with those come from spatially offset surround receptive field areas mediated by inhibitory, sign-inverting horizontal cells. Retinal ganglion cells sample various bipolar cell subtypes in...

Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are genetically constructed hybrid receptors that consist of a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) of a monoclonal antibody as the antigen-binding extracellular domain, an intracellular CD3ζ chain as the T cell receptor (TCR) signaling domain, and an additional co-signaling domain, mainly CD28 or 4-1BB, to deliver co-stimulation. Cytotoxic activity of CAR T cells is determined by antigen-binding to the scFv leading to the phosphorylation of CD3ζ and to additional signaling cascades by co-stimulating domains. This mechanism recapitulates intracellular signaling following T cell activation through the TCR complex, although in an MHC-independent fashion. Since their discovery in the...

More predictive, biologically-relevant high throughput screening techniques are necessary to improve early stage compound screening. Rejecting compounds early in development based on actionable, high quality safety and efficacy data from assays relevant to the target disease and human physiology will bring substantial benefits by avoiding the much higher expense of failure down the line in human clinical trials. Mass spectrometry may be used to detect given analytes in a complex mixture based on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) with excellent selectivity and sensitivity, making mass spectrometry particularly relevant for trace-level quantitation of unmodified biochemical entities. A wide variety of chemistries, including... 
Type 1 diabetes is a challenging condition to manage since it includes many facets such as treatment with insulin, technical devices, physiological and behavioral factors. Regular exercise is a cornerstone in diabetes treatment, but management of different forms of physical activity could be difficult for both the individual with type 1 diabetes as well as the health-care provider. People with type 1 diabetes tend to be as physically inactive as the general population, where we see a large percentage of individuals not maintaining a healthy body composition nor achieving the minimum recommended amount of moderate to vigorous aerobic activity...

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ion-gated channels that have diverse function in nervous and non-nervous tissues. The α9 and α10 subunits are members of the subfamily I, epithelial ion-gated nicotinic receptor gene family. These subunits are the most recently discovered (and perhaps the last to be discovered) nAChR subunits in mammals, but are phylogenetically the oldest. The α9 and α10 subunits are not expressed in the mammalian brain, making them unique among nAChRs. They were first localized in cochlear hair cells. As a consequence of their discovery in hair cells, the focus of study of these subunits has largely... 
The complexity of the immune system at the gene, protein, cell and organism level continues to provide a major challenge. Genomic landscape analysis, single-cell analysis and mass data acquisition encompassing genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and proteomics have now added new levels of complexity. With the rapid progress in these and other fields of immunology, it has become more important than ever to agree on a nomenclature, i.e. to agree on a consensus for naming novel genes, proteins, cells and biological reagents related to the immune system. Names that were given initially may, in retrospect, not always be logical. In addition, researchers...

Introduction Granular cell tumor is a pathological entity that was first described by Abrikossof in 1926. Many locations were described. The most frequent one is the buccal mucosa especially on the tongue, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Granular cells tumor is rarely located in the perianal region . Granular cell tumors often occur between the 4th and 6th decades with a male predominance that can reach up to 68%. Although a malignant variant of this tumor exists, it barely presents 2% of all cases. The diagnosis of malignancy requires an accurate analysis of the histological feature and investigations in order to identify...

The scientists discovered close to 200,000 DNA markers in Asians, which had been previously unreported in existing genetic databases. The catalogues that are now used for disease-association studies in Asia, including India, are those that have primarily been generated in western populations, hence of limited use in Asia.” The scientists also found 23 per cent of previously unreported protein variants. “Since alterations of proteins are usually associated with disease, we specifically investigated those

The mammalian circadian clock includes a “master clock” within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of hypothalamus and “peripheral clocks” within other tissues of the body. The “master clock” functions as an “orchestra conductor” to direct “peripheral clocks” through yet-to-be defined pathways, allowing animals to adapt their feeding, activity, and metabolism to predictable daily changes in the environment. Circadian clocks orchestrate physiological rhythms via the temporal regulation of gene expression to control core clock genes and rhythmic output programs. A network of transcriptional–translational feedback loop comprised of core transcriptional activators (Bmal1 and Clock) and repressors (Per and Cry), to control the rhythmicity... 
Microbes info Girolamo Fracastoro, an Italian scholar, advanced the notion as early as the mid-1500s that contagion is an infection that passes from one thing to another. A description of precisely what is passed along eluded discovery until the late 1800s, when the work of many scientists, Pasteur foremost among them, determined the role of bacteria in fermentation and disease. Robert Koch, a German physician, defined the procedure (Koch’s postulates) for proving that a specific organism causes a specific disease. The foundation of microbiology was securely laid during the period from about 1880 to 1900. Students of... 
Topic on Microbiology Spontaneous generation versus biotic generation of life The early Greeks believed that living things could originate from nonliving matter (abiogenesis) and that the goddess Gea could create life from stones. Aristotle discarded this notion, but he still held that animals could arise spontaneously from dissimilar organisms or from soil. His influence regarding this concept of spontaneous generation was still felt as late as the 17th century, but toward the end of that century a chain of observations, experiments, and arguments began that eventually refuted the idea. This advance in understanding was hard fought, involving series of...

Standard antiretroviral therapy (ART) consists of the combination of at least three antiretroviral (ARV) drugs to maximally suppress the HIV virus and stop the progression of HIV disease. Huge reductions have been seen in rates of death and suffering when use is made of a potent ARV regimen, particularly in early stages of the disease. Furthermore, expanded access to ART can also reduce the HIV transmission at population level, impact orphanhood and preserve families. In 2011, an estimated 34 million people were living with HIV. WHO and UNAIDS estimate that at least 15 million people were in need of antiretroviral... 
Environmental Toxicants and Cardiopulmonary Consequences Emerging evidence indicates that exposure to environmental toxicants including air pollutants (indoor and outdoor pollutants) and various contaminants present in drinking water and food have been shown to either contribute to or be associated with the development and progression of multiple cardiopulmonary diseases (CPD). According to the world health organization (WHO) statement, around 4.2 million deaths globally are linked to ambient air pollution, primarily due to heart disease, stroke, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, and acute respiratory infections. In addition, exposure to other environmental toxins such as heavy metals, aldehydes, and... 
Potential triggers of sudden infant deaths: Infection and inflammation There is a growing body of evidence that infectious agents or their products contribute to events leading to unexpected infant deaths. This issue summarizes the current information on the interactions between genetic background of the infant, environmental and developmental risk factors, and the microbial flora of the infant that could trigger lethal responses to common infections. The evidence for the role of infection and inflammation in these deaths comes from a variety of sources. When the risk factors for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) were compared to... 
Origins of Human Neuropathology The teneurins and latrophilins are essential for the function, maintenance and pathology of the central nervous system (CNS). The goal of this Research Topic is to unite our understanding of the teneurins, and their cognate receptors, latrophilins, with the aim of establishing their integrated role with respect to interneuronal activity and how it relates to human pathology. Critical to the origin of the CNS is the intercellular adhesion and communication among sensory and motor cells to coordinate feeding, energy metabolism, growth and reproduction. Over the last three decades, the discovery of the teneurins and latrophilins has... 
Aspergillus-Derived Mycotoxins In The Feed And Food Chain Mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus species, e.g. carcinogenic aflatoxins, genotoxic patulin, and nephrotoxic ochratoxin A, represent a major health threat to humans and livestock. These mycotoxins are known to affect a wide range of foods and drinks such as maize, coffee, wine, peanuts, dairy products, etc. The perceptible effects of climate changes on mycotoxin production in crops throw new light upon the economic and health risks of these notorious fungal secondary metabolites with the unprecedented detection of aflatoxins in Northern Europe in certain crops. To assist experts working in all... 
Eyeblink Classical Conditioning in Psychiatric Conditions Eyeblink classical conditioning (EBCC) is a model paradigm for associative learning, one of the most basic forms of learning and memory. Two major EBCC paradigms are utilized with human subjects. In delay EBCC, a conditioned stimulus (CS; e.g., an auditory tone) co-terminates with the unconditioned stimulus (US; e.g., a corneal airpuff). In trace EBCC, CS presentation is followed by a silent interstimulus interval (which Pavlov termed the “trace” interval), with the US non-overlapping with the CS in time. Because EBCC paradigms are readily adapted across species, the neural substrates of EBCC are well studied,... 
Mind’s Eye Inward: The Interplay between Selective Attention and Working Memory Historically, cognitive sciences have considered selective attention and working memory as largely separated cognitive functions. That is, selective attention as a concept is typically reserved for the processes that allow for the prioritization of specific sensory input, while working memory entails more central structures for maintaining (and operating on) temporary mental representations. However, over the last decades various observations have been reported that question such sharp distinction. Most importantly, information stored in working memory has been shown to modulate selective attention processing – and vice versa. At the theoretical... 
Ocular Motor and Vestibular Deficits in Neurometabolic, Neurogenetic, and Neurodegenerative Diseases The study of eye movement is a rich source of information about brain functioning for neurologists and neuroscientists. The eye movements provide diagnostic clues, define, and localize motor and cognitive disorders. Objective eye movement assessments associated with clinical observation and genetic testing in neurometabolic and neurogenetic diseases provide insight into their pathophysiology and disease mechanism. Finally the eye movements may be used for testing and following the response to therapies. The concrete value of studying eye movement stems from a number of advantages compared to... 
Eye Movements: Role in Sports and Active Living Eye movements are essential to collect accurate visual information from relevant scene locations, allowing optimal control of human movements in sports and active living. Vision provides, via feedback and feedforward modes, information for adjustments of the effector system to perform efficiently in a variety of environmental constraints. Beyond facilitating spatial perception and respective improvements in movement quality, gaze behavior reflects attentional and cognitive resources involved in motor performance. Sport contexts are usually complex, often requiring fast actions, and eye movements are used to acquire adequate visual information, affected by anticipation processes,...

Neuroethics refers to two related fields of study: what the philosopher Adina Roskies has called the ethics of neuroscience, and the neuroscience of ethics.The ethics of neuroscience comprises the bulk of work in neuroethics. Key issues Brain interventions: The ethics of neurocognitive enhancement, that is the use of drugs and other brain interventions to make normal people "better than well", is an example of a neuroethical issue with both familiar and novel aspects. Brain imaging: In addition to the important issues of safety and incidental findings, mentioned above, some arise from the unprecedented and rapidly developing ability to correlate... 
Are KIR-HLA Polymorphisms Relevant for the Outcome of Chronic Infected Hepatitis C Virus Patients? HCV is a major public health problem worldwide with an estimated population of 71 million people suffering from chronic hepatitis C infection. Approximately 3,99,000 people die each year from hepatitis C, mostly from complications like cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCV prevalence varies around the world. Regarding HCV genotypes in Europe, the most common subtype is 1b whilst in America the most frequent subtype is 1a. In the Middle East, North and Central Africa, the most prevalent genotype is 4 and in Asia, it is genotype... 
The Hippo pathway plays a regulatory role on inflammation and cell death and proliferation. Here we described a relationship between Hippo pathway components and inflammation in healthy subjects. The plasma levels of cytokines and chemokines were used to define their inflammatory profile and classify them as normal, high and low producers of cytokines. Leukocytes from healthy subjects with inflammatory profile expressed the highest levels of MSTS1/MST2, SAV1, LATS1/LATS2, MOB1A/MOB1B and YAP genes. The group that overexpressed Hippo pathway-related genes secreted more IFN-ϒ and IFN-α2 The Hippo signaling pathway mediates tumor suppression and regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis. This pathway...
