Many human illnesses are caused by infections with either pathogenic bacteria or viruses. To cause a disease, these microorganisms must gain access to the body. Bacteria reproduce by splitting in two, while viruses replicate themselves inside the host cells. Many bacterial infections can be treated successfully with antibiotics, but these are not useful against viral infections. The word "virus" is an ancient Latin, meaning "slime" or "poison".Paradoxically, early virus studies considered virus filtrates to be a poison, not a microbe, thus the name virus. In 1898, Friedrichh Loeffler and Paul...

Introduction: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The most important marker for HBV infection is HBsAg. In case of diagnosis of infectious disease, discordant results may have serious consequences among the patients as it causes unnecessary mental stress and tension. For proper diagnosis of infection as well as disease management and prevention, identification of appropriate test kit is necessary.Aim and Objectives: The Aim of the study was to calculate the prevalence of hepatitis B in patients visiting Sri Aurobindo College of Dentistry, Indore...

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the most complex and unique joint in human body. Different actions such as chewing, swallowing and speaking are accomplished and balanced because of TMJ. It is in near continuous use and is adapting to movements of the head, to posture and even to emotions. According to American Academy of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD), 'Temporomandibular disorders or dysfunctions is a collective term that encompasses many clinical problems involving the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and associated structures and both'. It is an umbrella term...

The human body can fight almost all types of foreign bodies such as micro-organisms or toxins through the specialized system called the immune system. Innate Immunity present in the body since birth while adaptive immunity developed with age with exposure to different antigens may be called specific immunity. The functional component of the immune system originated from myeloid and lymphoid precursor cells of haemopoietic stem cells. Cells of innate immunity are from myeloid precursor cells granulocytes, monocytes/macrophages, mast cells, and basophils and the cells of adaptive immunity...

Der menschliche Körper kann fast alle Arten von Fremdkörpern wie Mikroorganismen oder Giftstoffe durch das spezialisierte System namens Immunsystem bekämpfen. Die angeborene Immunität, die seit der Geburt im Körper vorhanden ist, während sich die adaptive Immunität mit zunehmendem Alter durch die Exposition gegenüber verschiedenen Antigenen entwickelt, kann als spezifische Immunität bezeichnet werden. Die funktionelle Komponente des Immunsystems stammt aus myeloischen und lymphatischen Vorläuferzellen hämatopoetischer Stammzellen. Zellen der angeborenen Immunität stammen aus...

Uremic stomatitis (US) primarily occurs in end-stage renal failure particularly when the disease has progressed gradually for many years. Uremic stomatitis is a rare complication of uremic syndrome that occurs when nitrogenous waste products build up in the mouth, and the blood urea level increases by 300mg/ml, but changes in oral mucosa can also be seen at levels below 200mg/ml. uremic stomatitis is classified as erythematous, ulcerative, hemorrhagic and hyperkeratotic. Patients can complain of pain, dysgeusia unpleasant taste and burning sensation with the lesions, and the clinician may...
