Multiple sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have threatened human health for centuries. Most STIs spread not only through sexual (horizontal) transmission but also through mother-to-child (vertical) transmission. In a previous work (Ito et al. 2019), we studied a simple model including hetero...

What is the blood type diet? Your blood type is the key to your body’s immune system, and it controls the influence of bacteria, viruses, chemicals, infections, stress, and other invaders that could compromise the immune system. Your blood type helps determine what foods are best for your...
Blood, spleen, and lung were analyzed for bacterial counts, lung and spleen weights, and sex hormone and cortisol levels were measured in plasma within two days post-infection. We found: 1) in the absence of ozone-induced oxidative stress, males had higher level of bacterial dissemination ...
2. Type I Interferons as Drivers of Blood Coagulation Blood coagulation maintains physiological haemostasis following blood vessel injury or infection via formation of a haemostatic plug primarily comprising platelets, before activation of coagulation upon exposure of tissue factor (TF), the initiator of ...
following 96 h. We evaluated associations between blood types and outcomes using three comparisons: infection prevalence among initial tests and survival analysis for intubation and death among individuals with infections confirmed by the swab test. We report on clinical data as of August 1, 2020....
The identification of factors affecting the susceptibility to infectious diseases is essential toward reducing their burden on the human population. The ABO blood type correlates with susceptibility to malaria and other infectious diseases. Due to the st
