Corticosteroids in Infectious Diseases

Accumulated data based on experiences with curtico,teroids in the management uf infectious disea­ses, have proved that they are very dfective and ,afe drugs provided that are administered properly.  The Corticosteroids arc administered mainly be­c,1usc o; antitoxic, antiimflammatory a11d antiallcrgic effects, the cndotoxius are ncuturalized, generalized body reactions are diminished, damaged t...

New Biomarkers of Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Infectious Diseases

Biomarkers of endothelial activation/dysfunction in infectious diseases

Endothelial dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of a variety of potentially serious infectious diseases and syndromes, including sepsis and septic shock, hemolytic-uremic syndrome, severe malaria, and dengue hemorrhagic fever. Because endothelial activation often precedes overt endothelial dysfunction, biomarkers of the activated endothelium in serum and/or plasma may be detectable befo...

Circulating MicroRNAs As Potential Biomarkers for Veterinary Infectious Diseases

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a kind of small non-coding RNA molecules that could regulate multiple biological pathways at posttranscriptional level. Over 2,000 miRNAs have so far been discovered in humans, and many of them are found to be linked to various kinds of diseases. Thus, miRNAs are being considered as clinical diagnostic and therapeutic targets. With the discovery of high stability of circu...

Session 4 Infectious diseases Transmitted infectious diseases in indoor environment

INTRODUCTION Except skin, the respiratory tract is the only human organ directly affected by (indoor) air. Therefore it is understandable, that all pollutants from the air can evoke any trouble especially in susceptible people. Microbiological contamination of any environment is common and also indoor air or environment is rich in different microbes and it doesn’t make too big difference if pat...
