Editorial Commentary: Pseudomonas aeruginosa Eradication: How Do We Measure Success?
Lung disease remains the major cause of morbidity and mortality for people living with cystic fibrosis (CF) [1]. Dysfunctional chloride conductance in the airways results in impaired mucus clearance, which drives a vicious cycle of infection, inflammation, and airway destruction. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) is a bacterial pathogen largely feared by the CF community as its chronic presence is as...
متن کاملEditorial comment: flat warts and the immune reconstitution syndrome.
The skin is the most common organ to manifest immune reconstitution syndrome (IRS).1-3 While many viral dermatoses are described in the context of antiretroviral-induced immune recovery (eg, herpesvirus infections, molluscum, genital condylomata, verruca vulgaris),4,5 the case report by Iarikov and colleagues6 is the first report of verruca plana in this setting. Cutaneous IRS is likely an unde...
متن کاملHow Do We Evaluate Artificial Immune Systems?
The field of Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) concerns the study and development of computationally interesting abstractions of the immune system. This survey tracks the development of AIS since its inception, and then attempts to make an assessment of its usefulness, defined in terms of 'distinctiveness' and 'effectiveness.' In this paper, the standard types of AIS are examined--Negative Select...
متن کاملThe eating paradox: how we tolerate food.
It is hypothesized that food, which is certainly a necessary commodity with powerful positive reinforcing qualities, also provides a potential threat to organisms, including humans. The act of eating, although necessary for the provision of energy, is a particularly disruptive event in a homeostatic sense. Just as humans learn responses to help them tolerate the administration of dangerous drug...
متن کاملHow do animal mitochondria tolerate water stress?
The vast majority of animal species do not tolerate severe water stress, but the encysted embryo of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana is an exceptionally useful organism to investigate physiological mechanisms for enduring extreme environmental insults. Any substantial reduction in cellular water poses a threat to survival. Nevertheless anhydrobiotic animals survive virtually complete loss o...
