There is a current worldwide outbreak of the novel coronavirus Covid-19 (coronavirus disease 2019; the pathogen called SARS-CoV-2; previously 2019-nCoV), which originated from Wuhan in China and has now spread to 6 continents including 210 countries. Coronaviruses (CoVs), is a large family of

Approximately 12% of adults in the United States, United Kingdom and other industrialized nations suffer from chronic sinus disease. Corticosteroids and antibiotic regimens are often used to treat the condition but the level of evidence to justify this approach is limited and at best offers only a

IMPORTANCE AND RELEVANCE TO EDCTP2 Despite considerable ongoing efforts in the development of tools to combat tuberculosis (TB), the disease was responsible for approximately 1.6 million deaths, with 10 million people developing the disease worldwide in 2017 (1). An estimated one million children

Oligo-Fucoidan, a heparin-like molecule with high percentages of L-fucose and sulfated ester groups and low percentages of D-xylose, D-galactose, D-mannose, and glucuronic acid, was present in the cell wall matrix of brown seaweed. Brown seaweed Oligo-Fucoidan was reported to demonstrate various

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as 3 or more consecutive pregnancy losses before 22 weeks of gestation, is a multifactorial disorder, affecting 1-3% of all couples aiming to have a child. The cause of RPL remain unknown in up to 50% of cases. Some of these cases may be affected by an

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infection and are especially common in postmenopausal women, who often experience recurrent UTIs. Women with recurrent UTIs are commonly treated with antibiotics, but side effects, collateral damage to commensal bacteria, and

Inclusion criteria for PD were: presence of at least 15 teeth and clinical diagnosis of PD. Excluding third molars. This diagnosis was confirmed by the presence of at least 6 teeth with at least one noncontiguous interproximal site with Probing Pocket Depth (PPD) and Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL) ≥

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays an important role in the innate immune response. In addition to activating the complement, MBL can induce cytokine production and contribute to a deleterious inflammatory response with severe A(H1N1)pdm09 virus infection. The aim was to determine if serum MBL

Septic shock still represent a major cause of admission in intensive care unit, incidence of severe sepsis is increasing, even in western countries, due to aging populations and comorbidities. Definition of septic shock was revised in 2016 by a task force, which emphasizes the need for future

Clostridium difficile is currently the most frequently identified pathogen causing antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and the main cause of nosocomial diarrhoea. In regard to observed worldwide increase rate of infection and mortality from CDI the prevention of Clostridium difficile infections seems to

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC, previously called 'primary biliary cirrhosis') is an autoimmune cholestatic liver disease characterized by destruction of intrahepatic bile ducts and progression to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. In the pre-cirrhotic phase, fatigue and pruritus are the dominant

Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the major cause of death worldwide. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the arteries in which activated macrophages are abundant in the atherosclerotic lesions. Macrophages play key roles during early atherogenesis.

This is a randomized, single-center double-blinded study. Donor Pre-treatment Strategy: The main objective is to identify the lowest dose that will allow an at least 80% decrease in the activity of classic pathway and Mannose-Binding Lectin (MBL) pathway of complement. The main objectives parallel

Despite reductions in cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in the past 20 years, CVD remains the leading cause of mortality in the United States, accounting for ~1 of every 3 deaths. CVD costs the U.S. over $100 billion annually and is an important field for targeted primary and secondary
