piRNAs (PIWI-interacting RNAs), which are generally 24–32 nucleotides in length, are defined by their specific association to the PIWI subfamily of AGO/ PIWI family proteins. piRNAs are mainly made in animal gonads, and are essential to silence transposons during germline development [1]. In Drosophila, the genomic regions that transcribe piRNA precursors are named as piRNA clusters. The primar...

BACKGROUND Since adenoids may act as a reservoir for bacteria, they can cause ear infection, recurrent otitis and recurrent adenotonsillitis. Therefore, adenotonsillectomy is an efficient method for reducing the number and severity of subsequent infections. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the Chlamydophila pneumonia infection by serological tests and performing PCR in the adenoid tis...

Fungal infections are on rise globally owing to use of immunosuppressant drugs for various diseases, increased antimicrobials and in-situ devices, long duration stay in hospitalized patients. There was sharp mucormycosis patients post COVID 19 illness which were previously limited end stage diabetic ketoacidosis. We studied the epidemiological, clinical, microbiological radiological aspects cul...
