sometimes GI diseases are not controlled well with IVIG replacement, because these preparations contain IgG which cannot reach the lumen of the intact gut and also contain very little amount of IgA which is a vital component of mucosal defence. Recent experimental evidence suggests that IVIG could exert an effect more than passive substitution of antibodies could do against pathogenic microbes;...

A laboratory test was used to assess the inhibition of growth of oral bacteria by three modern commercial mouthrinses containing either cetylpridinium chloride, CPC (Macleans), phenolic compound (Colgate Plax) or glycerin/triclosan (Listerine); which were used unsupervised in a placebo-controlled study involving fortyfive healthy adults. Subjects were divided into 3 groups and their saliva samp...

Oral microbes represent one of the most well studied microbial communities owing to the fact that they are a fundamental part of human development influencing health and disease, an easily accessible human microbiome, a highly structured and remarkably resilient biofilm as well as a model of bacteria-bacteria and bacteria-host interactions. In the last 80 years since oral plaque was first chara...

Background: Cyanthillium cinereum known as Poovamkurunilla in Tamil is one among the traditional medicinal plants which has proven properties. Aim: Hence, this study aimed to evaluate antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of two groups. Methodology: The oral pathogens such Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus Enterococcus faecalis C. albicans were used assess efficacy groups(Gro...

Probiotics influence the immune system, both at the local and systemic level. Recent findings suggest the relation between microbiota and the immune system alters with age. Our objective was to address direct effects of six bacterial strains on immune cells from young and aged mice: Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1, Lactobacillus casei BL23, Lactococcus lactis MG1363, Bifidobacterium breve ATCC157...

The popular press typically describes microorganisms mainly as diseasecausing bugs that should be eliminated using antimicrobial drugs. However, this mindset overlooks both the substantial scientific contributions gleaned from studying microbial biology and our growing understanding that different microorganisms are fundamentally distinct in ways that need to be accounted for in drug discovery ...

Naturally, the system suffers all of the omissions of ICD-9. For example, "AIDS" and "ARC" were not recognized, nor was "Acquired" exactly right for AIDS, because that gave me "acquired immunodeficiency-279.3." Not to worry, however; the program has a nice feature that lets you add diagnoses to the dictionary, so I added AIDS and ARC to the dictionary with fictitious codes, and they were immedi...

During the last years, the application of probiotics in gynaecological clinical practice has gained increasing relevance regarding therapy and prevention. This trend has also provoked the need for having tailored pharmaceutical preparations containing powerful microbial strains with defined properties. For the development of such preparations, several factors and criteria have to be considered,...
