Sexually Transmitted Infections01:26

Sexually Transmitted Infections

362
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

23.1K
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

1.0K
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

102.4K
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.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I01:29

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

293
Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

2.5K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Congenital syphilis (CS) results from vertical transmission of *Treponema pallidum*.
    • CS has resurged globally due to inadequate prenatal care and maternal treatment.
    • Consequences range from stillbirth to neonatal symptoms and death.

    Approach:

    • Presents a case report of a preterm infant with CS.
    • Includes an integrated review of the existing literature on congenital syphilis.
    • Highlights the need for updated clinical guidance, especially for preterm neonates.

    Key Points:

    • Neonatal clinicians must be aware of CS risk factors, manifestations, and treatment.
    • Limited data exist for postnatal treatment regimens, particularly in preterm infants.
    • Effective perinatal screening and timely maternal treatment are vital.

    Conclusions:

    • Congenital syphilis is preventable with comprehensive perinatal care.
    • Early detection and adequate treatment of maternal syphilis are essential.
    • Addressing the resurgence of CS requires improved public health interventions.
