Abstract Macrophages are the major target cell population of obligate intracellular parasites Leishmania. Although polymorphonuclear neutrophil granulocytes (PMN) able to internalize Leishmania promastigotes, these cells have not been considered date as host for parasites, primarily due their short life span. In vitro coincubation experiments were conducted investigate whether can modify spontaneous apoptosis human PMN. Coincubation PMN with promastigotes resulted in a significant decrease...

Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) is a major component of the cell membrane gram-positive bacteria. Although LTA has become increasingly recognized as an immunomodulator, its effect on polymorphonuclear neutrophil granulocytes (PMN) still not clear. The interaction between and PMN, however, particular importance, PMN are first leukocytes that migrate to site infection encounter bacterial pathogens. In present study, highly purified human with endotoxin-free from Staphylococcus aureus was investigated....

Abstract The obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cp) is responsible for a range of human diseases, including acute respiratory infection. Although experimental intratracheal infection with Cp results in massive recruitment neutrophil granulocytes (polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN)), the role these cells defense against unclear. In this study interactions PMN were investigated. vitro coincubation experiments showed that able to internalize an opsonin-independent...

Children vaccination is a key intervention for their survival, especially among refugees. Yet, children registration done manually in refugees camps and there no possibility to send reminders parents come back on time. We aimed boost the parental of children's records Immunization app (CIMA) while also availing with useful parenting skills under COVID-19-related stress. incorporated United Nations Office Drugs Crime (UNODC) Parenting Skills COVID-19 information material, through CIMA Arabic...

Background We explored the contributions of Family Health Days (FHDs) concept, which was developed by Uganda Ministry (MOH) and UNICEF as a supplementary quarterly outreach program in addition to strengthening routine expanded for immunization (EPI), with aim increase coverage, through improved access unimmunized or unreached under-immunized children under 5 years. Method A cross-sectional descriptive study MOH, Management Information Systems (HMIS) house FHDs data conducted covering six...

Globally, over 20 million children are unvaccinated and 25 missed their follow-up doses during the COVID-19 pandemic; thus, they face vaccine-preventable diseases unnecessary deaths. This is especially case for those with HIV or living in vulnerable settings. Using cell phones to send reminders parents has been shown improve vaccination rates.We aim determine whether implementation of an automated SMS reminder will child rates a turbulent, semiurban/semirural setting low-income country.This...
