Introduction: Urinary Tract infection (UTI) is considered as the most common infections disease among women. UTI may lead to a serious complication in both kidneys. In this study, we tried to determine whether the alternation in platelet count during UTI is related to specific Gram-type of bacteria causing the infection. This assists the medical st...

Introduction: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is spreading rapidly around the world caused serious respiratory disease leading to death, therefore vaccine is the effective way to control this pandemic. Scientists tried to produce safe and effective SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in record time and vaccination program started in De...

Introduction: Susceptibility to some infectious diseases has been associated with blood group phenotypes. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new infectious disease caused by a novel corona virus designated Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) which has spread rapidly around the world. The objective of this study was to...

This study investigates the heavy metal content in the saliva of persons with amalgam tooth fillings. For this purpose, samples of saliva have been collected based on two factors i.e. the number of amalgam fillings in the mouth (one, two or three fillings), and the time factor i.e. the time since the fillings have been in place (less than a year an...

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) remains the major cause of post neonatal mortality in countries where thorough autopsies and investigations of these deaths occur. The incidence of SIDS is higher among some ethnic groups, and among these groups there are also high incidences of serious infectious diseases. The risk factors for SIDS parallel thos...
Article
Criticisms of serological studies on Helicobacter pylori and ischaemic heart disease (IHD) include: undiagnosed heart disease in live controls; no assessment of severity or outcome of IHD; and qualitative not quantitative measurements of IgG to the bacteria. The aim was to assess quantitatively IgG levels specific for H. pylori (ng ml−1) among pati...
Chapter
In the last fifteen years, substantial progress has been made in identifying why some people are particularly susceptible to specific infectious diseases. Extensive evidence has accumulated that host genes are important determinants of the outcome of infection for many common pathogens. This book summarises advances that have been made in understan...

Patients (n = 186) infected during the Escherichia coli O157 outbreak in Scotland in 1996 were assessed for blood group markers (ABO, Lewis, and P) associated with other gastrointestinal infections. Binding of bacteria to epithelial cells was assessed by flow cytometry. Buffy coats fromblood donors were examined for inflammatory responses to cultur...

Persons of blood group O are at increased risk of peptic ulcers. Enhanced binding of Helicobacter pylori to epithelial cells of persons of blood group O has been demonstrated. Release of interleukin (IL)—6, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)—α by human leukocytes from 40 donors (10 from each ABO blood group) was measured after incubation in vit...
Article
Individuals of blood group O and nonsecretors of ABO blood group antigens are more susceptible to peptic ulcers. The aim of this study was to determine if blood group antigens associated with group O or secretor status are epithelial cell receptors for Helicobacter pylori. Bacterial binding and binding of monoclonal antibodies to H type 2, Lewis(a)...
Article
To determine the colonization of Helicobacter pylori in dental plaque and saliva of individuals with H. pylori-associated gastritis. One hundred and twenty adult dyspeptic patients attending for outpatient endoscopy were randomly selected. Saliva, dental plaques and antral biopsies were collected and cultured in Dent's medium. Antral biopsies were...
Article
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is defined as “the sudden death of any infant or young child which is unexpected by history, and in which a thorough postmortem examination fails to demonstrate an adequate cause of death” [Beckwith, 1969]. Since 1990, there has been a steady reduction in the numbers of SIDS in Britain [Court, 1995; Scottish Cot...
