Background: Research has shown that acute kidney injury (AKI) a noticeable incidence in critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Patients prior renal insufficiency are particularly susceptible to severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), due their immune dysfunction. However, most COVID-19 do not have history of dysfunction, and few studies focused on the ...

Lymphopenia and immune dysfunction in COVID-19 is increasingly recognized studied. This case report details a secondary infection following lymphopenia with CD4+ count drop patient no history of immunosuppression or HIV. The mechanism lymphopenia, both CD8+ T cell drops, needs further study.

Despite advances in immunosuppressive drugs, long-term success of liver transplantation is still limited by the development of chronic liver allograft dysfunction. Although the exact pathogenesis of chronic liver allograft dysfunction remains to be established, there is strong evidence that chemokines are involved in organ damage induced by inflammatory and immune responses after liver surgery....

conclusions as vaginismus can affect the stability of marriage, it is necessary to assess sexual dysfunction from all directions, including demographic characteristics and variables that affect the incidence of vaginismus. therefore, based on the data obtained, we can diagnose and properly treat sexual dysfunction, in time, and teach couples how to deal with it. patients and methods this study ...

PURPOSE The clinical implications for patients who survive serious infections are not well understood. It has been hypothesized that the excess mortality for survivors of sepsis observed in epidemiological studies is due to increased vulnerability to subsequent infections. We undertook this study to identify characteristics of patients who are at high risk for death after surviving a common typ...

Human aging is characterized by both physical and physiological frailty that profoundly affects the immune system. In this context aging is associated with declines in adaptive and innate immunity established as immunosenescence. Immunosenescence is a new concept that reflects the age-associated restructuring changes of innate and adaptive immune functions. Thus elderly individuals usually pres...

The hypotheses that psychological disorders result in disturbed immune function, and that such dysfunction, in turn, predisposes the individual to later physical illness, underpin the infant field of 'psychoimmunology'. Despite its short history the discipline has attracted considerable criticism. For example, in a British Medical Journal editorial, Denman (1986) stated that 'little (evidence) ...

Kidney dysfunction leads to disturbed renal metabolic activities and to impaired glomerular filtration, resulting in the retention of toxic solutes affecting all organs of the body. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and infections are the main causes for the increased occurrence of morbidity and mortality among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Both complications are directly or indirectly...

Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) is a complex, multi-organ system disease of unknown etiology characterized by functionally debilitating exhaustion and a constellation of associated symptoms. Its diagnosis is complicated; its treatment is largely supportive; and full recovery is rare. As well, lack of medical acknowledgement of CFIDS as a legitimate disease has caused patient...
