Inflammation-induced bone remodeling in periodontal disease and the influence of post-menopausal osteoporosis. During physiological conditions, the skeleton is remodeled in so-called bone multi-cellular units. Such units have been estimated to exist at 1鈥 2 x 10site... Lerner,H U. - 《Journal ...
The radiologist is often called upon to make an early diagnosis of skeletal infection if there is clinical suspicion of such a process. Early diagnosis is essential to the institution of proper medical management. Methods useful in the diagnosis of skeletal infection include conventional radiography, ...
Otitis media is inflammation of themiddle earsituated just behind the eardrum. It is comprised of three bones called theossicles. These bones transmit sounds as vibrations to the inner ear and theeustachian tube, the tube connecting to the upper throat that equalizes pressure in the middle ear....
amazonensis infection in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). a, b Flow cytometry analysis of C57BL/6 (WT), Nlrp3–/–, Gsdmd–/–, and Casp1/11–/– BMDMs infected with stationary-phase promastigotes of L. amazonensis constitutively expressing RFP. Cells were infected at an MOI 5 for...
of infection. Because healing will not ordinarily take place until an infection is treated, all procedures are aimed at combating infection at the site of injury whenever the possibility exists (as in compound fractures). Failure to heal may also result from severe destruction of bone, disruption...
Frontal sinus (in the forehead) Maxillary sinus (behind cheeks) Ethmoid sinuses (between the eyes) Sphenoid sinus (deep behind the ethmoids) The four pairs of sinuses are often described as a unit called the "paranasal sinuses." The cells of the inner lining of each sinus are mucus-secreti...
Antiretroviral medicinesslow the progression of HIV. They are given in different combinations called highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Your provider will decide the kind of HAART you need. You may need to make HAART changes if you have severe side effects or develop resistance to a me...
99Tc-HDP bone scintigraphy has a limited accuracy in the evaluation of prosthetic infection of 50–70%, even with a three-phase study, as postoperative increased uptake is common up to 12 months following a hip replacement and 36 months after a knee replacement.90 The test of choice for ...
It is well known to cause opportunistic infections in immunosuppressed individuals especially in bone marrow or solid organ transplant recipients and AIDS patients. Clinical features include fever, cough, and dyspnea. The pathological features of CMV infection in transplant recipients are reported to be ...
aureus could be sufficient to induce bone infection in animals; we found that intra-cellular S. aureus inoculation of as low as 102 colony forming units could induce severe bone infections. Our data may suggest that intra-cellular S. aureus can “hide” in host cells duri...
