Infection

11.6K
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...

Urinary Tract Infection II: Pathophysiology

521
The pathophysiology of urinary tract infections (UTIs) encompasses several progressive stages, beginning with bacterial colonization and culminating in potential systemic complications if untreated. UTIs are primarily initiated by bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, which often originate from the gastrointestinal tract and migrate to the urinary system through the periurethral area. This migration can occur via several routes, including improper hygiene practices, sexual activity, or...

Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis

674
Cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disorder, significantly affects the function of exocrine glands. This genetically inherited disease is characterized by the production of thick and sticky mucus, which can severely affect various organs and systems in the body.
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation,...

Stages of Infection

64.7K
Stages of infection describe what happens to a susceptible host once a pathogen invades the human body. The stages of infection are incubation, prodromal, illness, stage of decline, and convalescence. The incubation stage is the period from exposure to a pathogen until symptoms start. The infected person is unaware of impending illness as the pathogens grow and multiply within the body. The duration may vary depending on the type of infection. The incubation period of measles averages ten to...

Defense Against Bacterial Pathogens01:31

Defense Against Bacterial Pathogens

2.6K
The human immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against bacterial infections. It consists of various immune cells, each playing a specific role in the defense mechanism.
Phagocytes
Phagocytes are the frontline soldiers of the immune system. They include neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are quickly mobilized to the site of infection. Macrophages are larger cells that patrol...

  • Genética; Neurociencia; Salud Poblacional

Sus antecedentes:

  • La apolipoproteína E (APOE) es crucial para el metabolismo de los lípidos y está relacionada con enfermedades cardiovasculares y neurodegenerativas.; El alelo APOE ε4 es un factor de riesgo conocido, mientras que APOE ε2 es generalmente protector, aunque la homocigosidad ε2 puede aumentar el riesgo cardiovascular.

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Investigar si los portadores homocigotos de APOE ε2 con ascendencia local africana tienen un riesgo diferente de padecer afecciones cognitivas en comparación con otros genotipos de APOE.; Examinar la influencia de la ascendencia local africana en los homocigotos de APOE ε2 dentro de la población brasileña genéticamente diversa.

Principales métodos:

  • Genotipificación de 1.589 individuos de una cohorte de São Paulo, Brasil.; Pruebas de equilibrio de Hardy-Weinberg para evaluar las desviaciones de la frecuencia genotípica.; Inferencia de ascendencia local (LAI) utilizando datos de microarrays de 720 individuos para analizar los riesgos específicos de la ascendencia.

Principales resultados:

  • La frecuencia del genotipo APOE ε2/ε2 fue inesperadamente alta en la muestra del banco de cerebros, lo que sugiere un posible aumento del riesgo.; Se observó un desequilibrio significativo de Hardy-Weinberg para el genotipo ε2/ε2.; Se encontró un notable desequilibrio de Hardy-Weinberg en portadores de ε2/ε2 con ascendencia local africana, lo que indica una modulación diferencial del riesgo.

Conclusiones:

  • La ascendencia local es fundamental en los estudios genéticos de enfermedades complejas, especialmente en poblaciones mezcladas.; La homocigosidad APOE ε2, combinada con la ascendencia local africana, puede conferir riesgos específicos para las afecciones cognitivas.; Los hallazgos tienen implicaciones para la medicina personalizada y las estrategias de salud pública en poblaciones diversas.
