Pathogenesis, Immune Response and Vaccine Development in Amoebiasis
Abstract: Worldwide, approximately fifty million cases of invasive E histolytica disease occur each year and resulting in more than 100,000 deaths. It is the second leading cause of mortality due to a protozoan parasitic infection after malaria. Entamoeba histolytica infection is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality in the form of intestinal and extra-intestinal amoebiasis especially in developing countries. Recent molecular studies have conclusively proved that there are morphologically similar species …

Role of Human Neutrophils in Inflammation and its Modulation by Ixora coccinea
Abstract: Neutrophils are one of the key cells that actively participate in the innate immune reactions. Sequences of event of pathogen elimination by neutrophils are initiated with the activation of resting neutrophils. Pathogen is then eliminated by oxygen-dependent killing mechanism or oxygen-independent killing mechanism. This process includes margination, diapedesis, chemotaxis, phagocytosis and degranulation of neutrophils. Although, these mechanisms of the neutrophils are targeted to eliminate the pathogens and protect the body, …

Assessment of Animal Trials Conducted on Protectivity of Potential Sub-unit and Recombinant Vaccines against Pasteurella multocida B:2
Abstract: Haemorrhagic septicaemia, caused by Pasteurella multocida serotypes B:2 and E:2, is an acute, fatal and septicaemic disease of bovines occurring as catastrophic epizootics in most tropical regions of Asia and Africa. As chemotherapeutic treatment of P. multocida infections is expensive and ineffective, prevention of disease outbreaks following immunization is the most potent tool. Although, various vaccine formulations as alum precipitated, oil adjuvant, multiple emulsion and live attenuated vaccines are currently …

Transmission, Immune Response, and Immunomodulation in Giardiasis
Abstract: Giardiasis is a major public health problem at least in terms of morbidity in many geographical areas of the world. There are regional pockets in developing countries where prevalence rate of giardiasis is much higher than other parasitic diseases.

A Single-domain Antibody Cross-reacts with Lipopolysaccharide from Diverse Gram-negative Bacteria
Abstract: Gram-negative bacterial sepsis and endotoxemia are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in animals and humans worldwide, and attempts have continued to design rational therapies. Endotoxin/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-neutralizing polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies have been produced, but are not free from problems. Single-domain antibodies (dAbs), constructed from the camelid and the shark ‘heavy chain antibodies’ by phage display technology possess favorable features for in vivo applications. The objective of this study …

Juvenile Sjögren’s Syndrome: Case Report
Abstract: In the early 1900s, Henrik Sjögren and Henri Gougerot were the first to discovery the Sjögren’s syndrome. It is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting lacrimal and salivary glands primarily along with other systemic involvements in variability. However, most reports lacked the report of children. This is ordinary, as the disease is common in women of the 4th–5th decade. The manifestation of the disease may differ in children than in adults. …

Treatment of Generalized Eruptive Keratoakantoma Using Acitretin Dosage
Abstract: Keratoakantoma (KA) is a squamous neoplasia, variant of squamous cell skin cancer. In typical cases it is found to be solitary, filled with keratin, dome-shaped craterform papule with a diameter of 1–2 cm. KA regresses spontaneously within 3 months after the onset of the disease. Atypical KA persist, rarely regress spontaneously and can be giant, multinodular, centrifugum marginatum, subungual, as well as multiple, including Generalized Eruptive Keratoakantoma (GEKA). In the …

Comparative Analysis of Ovarian Surface Epithelial Lesions with Corresponding Tubal Epithelial Changes with Reference to Ki67 and p53 Immunostains
Abstract: Ovarian surface epithelial cancers have high mortality due to late presentation. The ovarian surface epithelial tumours originate from fallopian tubal epithelium. Hence, ovarian surface epithelial tumours have good correlation with respect to genetic and immunohistological changes of fallopian tubes, especially fimbrial end epithelium. These changes are evident long before significant morphological changes in the ovaries appear. p53 and Ki67 are two important proliferative markers, and useful to evaluate ovarian surface …

Speech Profile of Myasthenia Gravis: Case Study
Abstract: Complex coordination in muscles of articulation was supported by number of separate neural events which is large and with an amazing degree of neural integration in motor system [1]. If any point along the pathway from the cerebrum to the muscle gets damage, then the motor system which controls the speech production may be spotted [1]. Difficulty in controlling the muscles responsible for speech is called Dysarthria. Mixed dysarthria, is …
