Nonsurgical Management of Emphysematous Pyelonephritis: a short report of four cases
Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is an acute necrotizing and suppurative infection of the kidney parenchyma. It is defined by the presence of gas within the kidney parenchyma and surrounding tissues. This rare condition is usually seen in diabetic or immunocompromised adults. In this paper, we report four cases of emphysematous pyelonephritis (including two diabetic patients) managed by broad...
متن کاملEffect of Osmolarity on Virulence of Uropathogenic Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
In the milieu of urinary tract, urine is subject to changes in osmolarity depending on host’s diet and clinical condition. The present investigation was planned to study the effect of osmolarity on growth and elaboration of virulence factors by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in planktonic and biofilm cell mode. Significant enhancement in growth and elaboration of all the virulence traits was observed w...
متن کاملInfluence of infestation by Labratrema minimus (Bucephalidae: Digenea) on oxygen consumption of edible cockle Cerastodema edule (Mollusca: Bivalvia) in laboratory conditions
Short-term oxygen consumption and filtration rate experiments were conducted to evaluate the response of edible cockle Cerastoderma edule when infested by the Digenean trematod Labratrema minimus. In this experiment the metabolic activities of bivalves were measured to detennine this particular aspect of the host-parasite interaction. We have used the Bucephalidae digenea Labratrema minimus inf...
متن کاملA 13-Month-Old With Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis With Features of Renal Malakoplakia
Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is an uncommon chronic inflammatory renal disorder caused by chronic infection with gram-negative bacteria leading to destruction of the renal parenchyma and replacement with foamy lipid-laden macrophages. Renal malakoplakia is another rare form of chronic inflammatory granulomatous disease in the kidney associated with infection usually occurring in adults wi...
متن کاملThe Effects of Psychological Stress and Other Environmental Factors on Incidence of Diseases
The main purpose of this paper has been to discuss the effects of psychological stress and other environmental factors on incidence of diseases. We were specifically concerned with stress that increased susceptibility of uninfected hosts when exposed to infection. If such stresses also reduced resources, fecundity and/or survivorship, there was a reduction in the host carrying capacity. In addi...
