Sexually Transmitted Infections01:26

Sexually Transmitted Infections

652
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Ethics in Research

25.1K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

1.6K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Sex-linked Disorders01:43

Sex-linked Disorders

106.4K
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

Infection01:20

Infection

10.7K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Development of Immunocompetence01:22

Development of Immunocompetence

601
The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Congenital syphilis remains a significant global health issue.
  • Untreated maternal syphilis results in fetal demise and high neonatal morbidity/mortality.
  • Recent years have seen a concerning resurgence of congenital syphilis cases in the U.S.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the persistent problem of congenital syphilis.
  • To discuss vertical transmission and clinical manifestations.
  • To provide guidance for evaluating and managing infants born to mothers with syphilis.

Main Methods:

  • This is a review article.
  • It synthesizes current literature on congenital syphilis.
  • Focuses on clinical management and diagnostic guidance.

Main Results:

  • Congenital syphilis is preventable but poses a substantial risk.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for preventing adverse outcomes.
  • Standardized evaluation and management protocols are essential.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of congenital syphilis requires updated clinical guidance.
  • Addressing the resurgence necessitates public health interventions.
  • Protecting newborns from congenital syphilis is a critical objective.
