Background: There is a lack of fast, reliable and non-invasive methods for distinguishing between bacterial viral infections in modern clinical practice. It negatively impacts the effectiveness treatment increases risk unnecessary antibiotic administration thus resistance spread. Using microRNA biomarkers urine may become solution to problems listed. miRNAs are relatively stable can provide an indirect yet specific insight into systemic infections, offering promising diagnostic tool....
Background: Kytococcus schroeteri is a member of normal skin microflora, which can cause lethal infections in immunosuppressed hosts. In this review we attempted to draw patterns its pathogenicity, seem vary regarding host immune status and the presence implantable devices. Evidence suggests pathogen houses many resistance-forming proteins, serve exacerbate challenge curing it. Available information on K. antibacterial susceptibility scarce. situation, novel, genome-based antibiotic...
Oral rehydration fluids (ORS) are used to reverse dehydration that, in case of children, mostly is due acute gastroenteritis. The key successful treatment replenish the lost water and electrolytes. This best done by consuming oral solution, containing both salt sugar. ORS enhances fluid absorption because sodium glucose transport small intestine coupled, promotes ions water. Studies show that children refuse its salty-sweet taste unpalatability. To improve therapy, we hypothesized freezing a...
