This paper is aimed to point out the current state of COVID-19 pandemics in Italy. Currently, an international crisis and all continents have recorded a certain number cases date. After first report such infectious threat China, disease has progressively widespread thorough world, countries attempted specific protocols therapies face this new, unknown condition. The authors overview how Italian health service facing after two months from internal reported cases. At last, special...
This article aims to investigate about the social stigma and prejudice of society towards patients with leprosy, but also understand how this infectious disease has largely influenced human lifestyle evolution analyzing its treatments from past empirical actual multidrug therapy (MDT).References on leprosy were extensively searched in literature using PubMed, Web Science, Medline, Springer link Elsevier's (EMBASE.com)databases, medical, religious archaeological books.Leprosy's spread all...
Background: The current manuscript’s aim was to determine the human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype-specific prevalence and distribution among individuals, males, females, of different ages in region Apulia, Italy, highlighting possible variables involved carcinogenicity mechanism. In addition, we proposed two hypothetical models HPV’s molecular dynamics, intending clarify impact prevention therapeutic strategies, explicitly modeled by recent survey data. Methods: We presented clinical data...
Abstract Background The aim of this study was the rapid identification bla KPC gene in 38 Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates with reduced susceptibility to carbapenems. modified Hodge Test (MHT) carried out phenotypically determine whether resistance carbapenems mediated by a carbapenemase. detection performed real-time acid nucleic sequence-based amplification (NASBA™™), specifically designed for RNA target. Results Thirty-two/38 evaluated MHT showed production carbapenemases, while...
The aim of this study was to determine the frequency multiple type human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, and whether any types are involved in HPV-type infections (mHPV) more or less frequently than expected. From January 2012 February 2018, 2848 cervico-vaginal swabs were analysed UOC Microbiology Virology Policlinico Bari, Italy. HPV DNA detection performed using initially nested-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) subsequently multiplex real-time PCR assay. 1357/2848 samples (47.65%)...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most prevalent etiological agent of viral sexually-transmitted infection. This study retrospectively evaluated impact a switch to real-time PCR assay in HPV prevalence and genotypes distribution by quasi-experimental before-and-after approach.In total, 1742 samples collected from 1433 patients were analyzed at UOC Microbiology Virology Policlinico Bari, Italy. DNA detection was performed using initially nested subsequently multiplex assay.Statistically...
Abstract Background Human Papillomavirus (HPV) role in oral potentially malignant lesions remains unclear. Aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence HPV infection a cohort patients affected by lichen planus, analyze genotypes involved, and compare performance two specimen collection methods: brushing biopsy. Methods Consecutive with planus enrolled. Each patient's clinical anamnestic data recorded before he/she underwent biopsy procedures. The collected samples analyzed using...
Blood gas analysis is a diagnostic tool to evaluate the partial pressures of in blood and acid-base content. The use enables clear understanding respiratory, circulatory, metabolic disorders. arterial (ABG) explicitly analyzes taken from an artery, assessing patient's pressure oxygen (PaO2), carbon dioxide (PaCO2) pH (acid/base). PaO2 indicates oxygenation status, PaCO2 ventilation status (chronic or acute respiratory failure). affected by hyperventilation characterized rapid deep...
The tuberculosis of the ear is rare, and in most cases clinical picture resembles that a chronic otitis media. diagnosis often delayed, this can lead to irreversible complications such as hearing loss and/or facial paralysis. In view its rare occurrence, we report case primary tuberculous media 87-year-old female patient. was made on basis both histological microbiological findings. particular, gene amplification techniques real-time polymerase chain reaction are useful method for rapid...
