Bacterial and viral triggers are suspected agents in the initial etiology of autoimmune diseases. There are some studies on the etiology of autoimmune disorders which have focused on streptococcal infection and a possible relation with microbial heat shock proteins (hsp) which show significant homology with human heat shock proteins. In addition, some serotypes of streptococci cross-react ...

undoubtedly, tooth decay is still one of the most significant problems in human communities. tooth decay is defined as a microbial disease that causes demineralization of hard tissues and degradation of organic components of teeth. although there are various theories on etiology of dental caries, miller’s acidogenic theory (1890) and gottileb’s proteolitic theory (1933) have gained the most cre...

Microbial biofilm modeling has improved in sophistication and scope, although only a limited number of standardized protocols are available. This review presents an example model, along with its evolution application studying periodontal peri-implant diseases. In 2011, the ETEP (Etiology Therapy Periodontal Peri-Implant Diseases) research group at University Complutense Madrid developed vitro s...

Dysbiosis or imbalance in the gut microbiome has been correlated with etiology of a number diseases/disorders. Thus, microbial communities can potentially be utilized for assessing health human gut. Although taxonomic composition microbiomes is dependent on factors such as diet, lifestyle, and geography, these microbes perform specific set common functions In this study, metabolic pathway-based...

Diabetic foot is a long-term complication of diabetes mellitus that results directly from peripheral arterial disease or sensory neuropathy affecting the feet in mellitus. rare, but potentially lethal associated with diabetes. The management diabetic infections requires assessing microbial etiology, attentive wound management, good nutrition, antimicrobial therapy and glycemic control. In sever...

The importance of bacterial cultures in autopsy has been controversial since Filippo Pacini and Robert Koch's early investigation into the etiology cholera. Death-war / or post-mortem invasion by patient's native flora poses a problem with respect to intervals, selection anatomical location containing blood, CSF, number specimens required be bought collected Microbial Laboratory for processing....

Infections are major complications in peritoneal dialysis (PD) with a multifactorial etiology that comprises patient, microbial and dialytic factors. This study aimed at investigating the contribution of microbial biofilms on PD catheters to recalcitrant infections and their interplay with PD related-factors. A prospective observational study was performed on 47 patients attending Centro Hospit...

BACKGROUND Age-specific incidence rates for breast cancer in low-risk and high-risk ethnic populations differ by age at which the incidence maximum is reached: around 50 years in low-risk populations and over 60 years in high-risk populations. The interpretation of these differences remains unsettled, one line primarily referring to biological differences, the second one to cohort effects of ra...
