主な方法:
- AERIAL研究における55人の乳児からの90人の鼻のスランプの分析 (背景と症状のサンプル).
- 16S rRNA全長配列を用いた細菌プロファイリング
- パンバクテリア検査 (TaqMan®) によるバクテリア量の量化
主要な成果:
- 鼻のバクテリアの多様性は,背景と症状のスランプの間では類似しており,組成は個人によって異なっていた.
- 症状のスランプは多様性の減少を示したが,細菌の量は変化しなかった.
- アルファ多様性によって異なる2つの異なる細菌内型 (モラクセラまたはストレプトコッカス濃縮) が特定されました.
- ウイルスとバクテリアの相互作用は,ライノウイルス陽性なスランプで観察されたが,SARS-CoV-2陽性なスランプでは観察されなかった.
- 背景の微生物のエンドタイプと症状のエピソードまたは支柱炎との間には関連性が見つかりませんでした.

Anatomy of Respiratory System I: Upper Respiratory Tract
2.5K
The upper respiratory tract plays a vital role in the respiratory system, comprising several structures that facilitate air intake and prepare air for the lungs. It also serves as the first line of defense against pathogens and particles. This tract includes the nose and nasal cavity, the oral cavity, the paranasal sinuses, and the pharynx, each with specific functions and features.

Nose and Nasal Cavity
4.5K
The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
12.3K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract I: Health History
391
Physical assessment of the respiratory tract is critical to patient care. It allows healthcare professionals to identify and manage various respiratory conditions. The process involves a combination of subjective and objective data collection.
Subjective Data
Subjective data provides vital information about the patient's health history and symptoms. This data is typically collected through interviews in which patients describe their experiences, symptoms, and concerns.

Anatomy of the Intestines
73.8K
Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...
