Invasive Aspergillosis in COVID-19: A Review Study and Recommendations for Diagnostic Approaches
Background and purpose: COVID-19 is an emerging viral disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Bacterial or fungal superinfections of the lung may cause complications in clinical manifestations, treatment, and increase the mortality rate. In this article, we reviewed previous studies on invasive aspergillosis (IA) in viral infections and in adjustment with...
متن کاملI-54: New Models for Human and Mouse Genetic
The possibility to reprogram somatic human cells will greatly and deeply change genetic approach and allow the development of new tools to study genetics diseases. Indeed, our ability to study human genetic diseases suffers from the lack of valid in vitro models. The latter should (i) be originating from human primary cells, (ii) be able to self-renew for a long time and (iii) be able to differ...
متن کاملP-111: An Attempt to Facilitate the Production of Transgenic Mouse As A Model for Gene Therapy of Gaucher Disease
Background: Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive inherited lysosomal storage disorder that affects many of the body's organs and tissues by defective function of the catabolic enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase. Gene therapy is one of the efficient ways for treatment of this disease. Due to the lack of appropriate animal models, in the field of gene therapy little progress has been done.Mate...
متن کاملEFFECTS OF SOME NOVEL ASCORBIC ACID-METAL COMPLEXES ON SELECTED BACTERIAL AND FUNGAL SPECIES
The antimicrobial activity of some novel ascorbic acid-metal complexes [bisascorbate complexes of copper (II), zinc(II), manganese (11), iron (111), cobalt(II), lead(II) and cadmium(II)] was investigated. Four standard strains of bacterial species - Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Klebsiella pneumonia and four fungal species - Trichophyton sp. Penicillium sp....
متن کاملFungal Diseases of the Respiratory Tracts-Section 4
Fusarium spp., have been recognized during the past decade to cause disseminated infection, particularly in granulocytopenic patients undergoing intensive antileukemic chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation. The lung, sinuses, and skin are the primary portals of entry. The periungual regions of the toes notably may be a particularly important site of initial invasion. Invasive Fusarium inf...
متن کاملO-2: A Novel Antioxidant Formulation to Treat Male Infertility Emanating from Sperm Oxidative DNA Damage: Promising Preclinical Evidence from Mouse Models
Background: Sperm DNA damage (SDD) is a significant male infertility factor, yet it is not routinely diagnosed or treated in couples undertaking fertility treatment by ART. Men with this condition are likely to experience sub-fertility or infertility, expose their female partners to greater risk of miscarriage and pass on de novo sporadic DNA mutations potentially compromising the health of the...
