Lymphocyte

Introduction The Central Nervous System (CNS) has been considered devoid of lymphatic vasculature, and for years, the theory of the nonexistence of the lymphatic system in the brain has been accepted as a biological/anatomical fact. This very basic fact of neuro-anatomy has recently been upset by two independent studies, revealing that the brain does, in fact, have a functional lymphatic system. Although this study was originally done on mice brains, there have been similar findings in human…

10 to 13% and less than 1% of community-acquired pneumonia River (7). In a recent survey the role of vitamin D in the immune system fight against the pathogen is unknown. Vitamin D as a hormone that regulates a key role in the differentiation of lymphocytes is immune. The role must be appropriate concentrations. A study that has shown a lack of vitamin D, we have suppressed immune delayed response. Vitamin D in patients with AIDS has a direct relationship to the number of the CD4 ratio is…

Introduction When invasive cells such as viruses or bacteria enter the body, then lymphocytes produce antibodies to neutralize these intruders that are called antigens. A healthy individual creates millions of antibodies a day, which help maintain a healthy body without illnesses. Certain malignant antigens however are able to attack the body before the antibodies are able to be generated. Many diseases in the past have decimated large portions of the human race, such as: measles, mumps, rubella…

Jones. Mr. Jones appeared to be in distressed. He is now using his accessory muscles to breathe, crackles are heard on auscultation and there is decreased air entry in the left and right bases. Chest X ray revealed consolidation on the left lower lobe and atelectasis in the right lower lobe. After a series of investigation in the emergency department, Mr. Jones was commenced on Normal Saline at 125 mls/hr and he was given oxygen via non rebreather mask at 10L/min. He was then transferred…

Edible vaccines Abstract Vaccines are widely used in the whole word. The death rate caused by the infectious organisms has been greatly reduced by the use of vaccines. However traditional vaccines have side-effects. Recently a newer approach to overcome the problems of the traditional vaccines has emerged. Edible vaccines can be better alternatives to the traditional vaccines as they can solve all the problems associated with traditional vaccines. For the production of edible vaccines gene of…

Ebola Zaire in non-human primates: a threat to biodiversity conservation To most of the world, Ebola Zaire haemorrhagic fever, also simply known as ‘the Ebola virus’ (EBOV) (Hayden, 2014), was relatively unknown until early 2014 when an outbreak in West Africa seemingly appeared out of nowhere. Yet outbreaks have been reported in primates, both human and non-human, since its discovery in 1976 (P. Ascenzi et al. 2008), and the outbreaks seem to be increasing in frequency. Several studies leave us…

Eradication of HIV There are many ways that HIV is transmitted but if the risk factors were taken out would there be as many individuals affected by this disease? If there was an immunization to protect the CD4 cells would AIDS be a syndrome anymore? Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is not possible without the human immunodeficiency virus which is the driving force behind scientists collaborating worldwide in ending and preventing this pandemic. Etiology “The primary etiologic agent of…
