Problem statementMultiple pregnancies represent about 3% of all pregnancies. Twin pregnancies are the most frequent and can be classified as monozygotic (1/3) or dizygotic (2/3). Morbidity and mortality in multifetal pregnancy is higher than unifetal and change according to chorionicity. Compared with dichorionic twins, monochorionic twins have a higher frequency of fetal and neonatal mortality, as well as morbidities, such as fetal and congenital...

The standard of care for full thickness burns is surgical debridment followed by autografting. Recently the use of enzymatic debriding agent rich in bromelein has been proposed as a non surgical alternative for the removal of burn necrotic tissue. Local application of bromelain has been shown to be rapid, effective, non-invasive, safe, easily performed at the bedside with minimal blood loss. The activity on necrotic tissue seems to be mediated by...

Salmonella is present in most food production environments and can enter the food supply at any stage of food production from farm to fork. Control strategies for Salmonella include preharvest and postharvest aspects. Preharvest approach is very important because as a result of large-scale production, many animals could be infected with Salmonella serotypes during the primary production, causing human salmonellosis by consuming meat, milk, and eggs...

This is a Project Gutenberg edition released in 2018.
Xavier Bichat, one of the brilliant men of medicine, interposed his interpretations of tissue structure between the organ pathology of Morgagni and the cellular pathology of Virchow. In a remarkably short time in the medical world, Bichat established the significance of tissues in the study of anatomy and pathology. Based on autopsy findings, Bichat introduced 21 tissues as the basic elements of...

Wound healing occurs by a series of interrelated molecular events which work together to restore tissue integrity and cellular function. These physiological events occur smoothly in normal healthy individual and/or under normal conditions. However, in certain cases, these molecular events are retarded resulting in hard-to-heal or chronic wounds arising from several factors such as poor venous return, underlying physiological or metabolic conditions...

Objectives To address current gaps in our knowledge of phosphate homeostasis in regulating metal biology and stress resistance in a major human fungal pathogen C. albicans. In particular, to investigate the importance of Pi mobilisation from the Pi storage molecule, polyphosphate (polyP), in stress resistance and virulence.Methods Strains were constructed lacking either or both of the putative polyphosphatases Ppn1 and Ppx1 which are predicted to...

INTRODUCTIONRadiofrequency (RF) denervation of S1,S2,S3 and L5 dorsalRamus has been showed to be effective in reducing pain fromsacroiliac joint (SIJ). Cooled RF is a novel modality of RF whichworks at lower tip temperature creating bigger lesionscompared with conventional RF. We compared a single probeconventional RF (CRF) (img.1) with Cooled RF (img.2) devicefor SIJ denervation. No study has ever compared this devicesfor more than 12 months follow...

Aging of unicellular and multicellular eukaryotic organisms is a convoluted biological phenomenon, which is manifested as an age-related functional decline caused by progressive dysregulation of certain cellular and organismal processes. Many chronic diseases are associated with human aging. These aging-associated diseases include cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis,...
