For researchers, CCR1 is more than a seven-transmembrane G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR)—it is a molecular switch that can reshape immune landscapes under stress, infection, or pathological remodeling. CCR1 in the Chemokine Network CCR1 recognizes a broad range of ligands, including CCL3 (MIP-1α), CCL5 (RANTES), and CCL7 (MCP-3). This ligand diversity ...
Application in the treatment of influenza Introduction of influenza Influenza, also called flu or grippe, is an acute viral infection of the upper or lower respiratory tract. It is characterized by a runny nose, sore throat, cough, fatigue, fever, chills, and a generalized feeling of weakness and pain in the muscles, together with varying degrees of pain in the head and abdomen. ...
Results suggest that purified clinoptilolite in a liquid or gel suspension may represent a natural, safe, and effective candidate for the development of a medical device destined to reduce SARS-CoV-2 infectivity and virus spread in patients. Read the full ...
C. auris on the rise What makes this infection seem to bypass prevention measures and spread with ease? The issue lies in the fact that most infections caused by C. auris are resistant to at least one form of anti-fungal treatment. In addition, C. auris is able to survive on surfaces for long periods of time, making ...
Of particular concern is the increase in tuberculosis (TB), a highly contagious disease spread through the air when those infected cough, sneeze, or spit. According to statistics published by World Health Organization (WHO), 8.8 million active cases are diagnosed each year, and almost 2 million die. ...
"Most people living with herpes are unaware they have the infection leading to unrecognized transmission and spread of the virus. Patients who develop symptomatic herpetic disease suffer not only from recurrent physical symptoms, but may also suffer from social stigma and isolation because the infection is usually transmitted sexually," said ...
It is in everyday situations that aerosol suction systems prove to be fundamental to keep spread of infection under control. Daily situations like vaccination: central stage in the fight against pandemic. As a fact, healthcare operators take the risk of exposure every day, but the same operators can also be vehicle of infection, since the virus ...

These mutations are designed to weaken the virus, limiting its ability to cause infection while retaining its ability to sufficiently stimulate the body's immune system to elicit an effective and amplified response to combat infection. ...
The researchers devised a novel therapeutic strategy for infecting pancreatic cancer model mice with genetically modified Listeria monocytogenes expressing tetanus toxin. ...
What is a Hospital Acquired Infection? A Hospital-Acquired Infection (HAI) (also know as a Healthcare-Associated Infection (HCAI) or nosocomial infection) is defined by WHO as ‘an infection acquired in hospital by a patient who was admitted for a reason other than that infection1‘. This includes infections acquired in the hospital but appearing after discharge, and also occupational ...
Good reading! The main risks of viral infection Our machine is designed for the operating theater, which means that it must work in all circumstances: it must therefore be protected against the risk of viral infection. What are the possible sources of infection on a machine installed in the operating room? ? External risk: a person ...
Thus, hospitals have taken a wide range of strategic infection protocol steps to curb the spread of the disease, including HVAC systems with germicidal UVC light systems and rooms with negative air pressure for isolation of patients. With an infection prevention protocol put in place, it is important to deduce how and why these pathogens ...
Examples of infections that spread through droplets include influenza, strep, and pneumonia. ...
Lancet publised and article1) on May 1. 2021 “10 scientific reasons in support of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2”. We introduce the article piece by piece with a solution how to successfully remove and destroy viruses from indoor ...
Neuraminidase is a drug target to prevent the spread of influenza infection. As early as the 1940s, American scientist George Hirst discovered a substance that destroys receptors on the surface of red blood cells in a sample of influenza virus mixed with red blood cells (red blood cells). ...
Solution The objective was to prevent the epidemic from spreading. The hospital staff needed to be secured from airborne MERS-CoV viruses, that spread from infected person to others through respiratory secretions, such as coughing. ...
During the COVID-19 pandemic , these restrictions were also put in place to minimize spread of the infection. 4 SPECIFICS OF SECOND STAGE CARE4.1 Birth attendants This is the stage in labor where the contribution of a qualified and skilled birth attendant is probably the most critical in ensuring a safe outcome, besides technical knowledge. ...
Virus vs Bacteria: How Is Each Spread? For the most part, viruses and bacteria spread in the same ways. How each spreads can vary depending on the specific infection, though. How Bacteria Spreads Bacterial infections are typically contagious. ...

As such, here are 5 key factors that providers should consider before committing to a patient monitoring technology, during the pandemic and beyond. 5 Key Considerations for Patient Monitoring during a Pandemic #1: Leverage contact-free monitoring and communication to halt the spread of infection. Long an emerging aspect of everyday care, remote patient ...
HPV infection is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) and usually spreads through sexual or skin-to-skin contact. ...
